Burnout: when the high performer runs out of road.

What therapy helps with burnout and work stress?

Burnout Therapy West London at The Lyceum helps high achievers who feel exhausted, detached and unable to meet their usual standards. Led by Sanah Younis, a BABCP-accredited CBT practitioner, our practice offers evidence-informed, compassionate treatment for burnout and work-related stress, with face-to-face appointments in Chiswick, Hammersmith and Ealing or online for clients across West London and beyond. We understand how isolating sustained overwhelm can feel and tailor interventions for professionals, parents and carers who have run out of road but want a clear way forward. Cognitive behavioural therapy for burnout focuses on what maintains exhaustion: unhelpful thinking patterns, all-or-nothing behaviour, disrupted routines and avoidance that interfere with recovery. In therapy you will work collaboratively with Sanah to develop a clear formulation of your stress cycle, learn practical strategies to restore sleep, manage energy and re-establish boundaries, and test out alternative behaviours that rebuild resilience. Sessions are structured and skill-based, emphasising behavioural activation, paced activity planning, cognitive restructuring and problem-solving so that gains are measurable and lasting. There is robust clinical support for using CBT to reduce work-related stress and improve functioning, and our BABCP accreditation underlines commitment to best-practice standards. Progress is routinely tracked using validated measures so you can see change over time, and when helpful Sanah supports practical return-to-work planning or communication with occupational health while maintaining strict confidentiality. Appointments are offered at convenient times, including evening slots and online sessions for busy schedules across West London. Expect a thorough assessment, shared goals and homework that links directly to daily life at work and home. Therapy is short- to medium-term and goal-focused, with relapse-prevention planning so you can maintain progress when pressures return. If you live or work in Chiswick, Hammersmith, Ealing or elsewhere in West London, or prefer online sessions, The Lyceum offers accessible support with clear routes back to wellbeing.
