The line between dedication and burnout is thinner than most people realise. What starts as working hard can quietly become an inability to stop, a dread of Monday mornings, or a feeling that your professional role has swallowed your entire identity.
Work-related stress is not just about workload. It intersects with self-worth, boundaries, family expectations, and the deeper question of what kind of life you are building.
How Therapy Addresses Work Stress
Therapy is not career coaching. It is a space to examine the emotional and psychological dimensions of your relationship with work. Why is it difficult to say no? Why rest feels unsafe. Why recognition never seems like enough.
Prof Knight's psychodynamic approach helps to uncover the patterns that drive overwork and burnout. These patterns are often rooted in early experiences of how love, approval, or safety were earned. Understanding them is the first step toward building a healthier relationship with work and with yourself.
What to Expect
Sessions take place at the N.H.C Health Centre in Honeydew. Therapy can be short-term or longer-term depending on your needs. Prof Knight works collaboratively to set goals that are realistic and meaningful to you.
