Burnout and workplace stress can affect every part of life, from emotional well-being to physical health and relationships. At Calgary Mental Health & Wellness Centre, we provide supportive, evidence-based counselling for individuals experiencing burnout, chronic stress, and work-related overwhelm.
Our therapists offer a compassionate space to explore what’s contributing to stress and to develop practical strategies for restoring balance and well-being.
Who This Support Is For
Burnout and workplace stress counselling may be helpful if you are experiencing:
ongoing exhaustion or emotional fatigue
difficulty concentrating or feeling motivated
increased irritability, anxiety, or low mood
feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from work or daily life
challenges setting boundaries or managing workload expectations
You do not need a diagnosis to benefit from counselling. Support is available whether stress feels recent or long-standing.

setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
addressing perfectionism or high self-expectations
reconnecting with values, purpose, and personal needs
Support is tailored to your individual circumstances and goals.
What Burnout Can Look Like
Burnout can show up differently for each person. Some individuals experience emotional exhaustion, while others notice changes in mood, sleep, or physical health. Counselling provides space to explore how stress is affecting you personally and to move toward sustainable change.
Our Approach
Our therapists use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach grounded in evidence-based practices. Counselling is collaborative, supportive, and paced to meet your needs. We focus on practical strategies while also addressing the emotional impact of stress and burnout.
