Stress and Burnout

Helping You Recover from Emotional Exhaustion, Overload, and Disconnection

If you're constantly overwhelmed, running on empty, or wondering how long you can keep this up, you may be dealing with more than everyday stress. Chronic stress and burnout can affect your mood, sleep, focus, relationships, and even your health. And when the world expects you to keep going, it can be hard to admit you’re struggling.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer therapy for stress and burnout in Nepean and virtually across Ontario. Our goal is to help you restore balance, reconnect with your needs, and create space to breathe again.

Signs You May Be Experiencing Burnout

Burnout and chronic stress aren't always easy to name, especially when they build up slowly over time. You might be:

  • Feeling exhausted no matter how much you rest
  • Losing motivation or interest in things you used to enjoy
  • Struggling to concentrate or complete tasks
  • Becoming more irritable, detached, or numb
  • Feeling cynical, hopeless, or overwhelmed by even small tasks
  • Having trouble sleeping or managing physical symptoms (e.g., headaches, stomach issues)
  • Feeling like you're never doing enough, no matter how hard you try

Burnout is common in high-pressure roles: caregivers, parents, helping professionals, students, and perfectionists often push through until they can’t anymore. But burnout isn’t a personal failure. It’s a signal.

How Therapy Can Help with Stress and Burnout

At Four Wings Psychology, we help you understand what’s driving your stress, how it's impacting your mind and body, and what needs to change to start feeling better.

Therapy for stress and burnout may help you:

  • Identify your personal stress patterns and burnout triggers
  • Set boundaries without guilt
  • Learn nervous system regulation and mindfulness techniques
  • Explore underlying perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism
  • Shift from survival mode into sustainable living
  • Reconnect with your needs, values, and sense of purpose
  • Recover joy, energy, and mental clarity

Our therapists use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and compassion-focused approaches to support real-life change: not just coping, but healing.
