Stress is a natural human response of our nervous system (our entire being) that helps us to manage perceived challenges and threats in our life. Stress helps us to learn, survive and increases our physical and immune defences...

A burnout can be defined as a 'a state of complete emotional and physical exhaustion brought on by stress.'

A burnout is the logical progression to chronic stress and constant nervous system over-activation...

Each burnout is different. Not everyone will have the same symptoms. Not everyone will stay in burnout for the same amount of time. Some recover in weeks, some in months and some in years.

Still, there are some symptoms that tend to occur often...

I always tell clients or potential clients, if you feel the need to ask about it, it means that you are probably experiencing symptoms that are strong and serious enough that you need to do something and act.

Still, you can take my test to find out how high your risk of Burnout is.
Take the Test
First, notice and accept that things are not right and that they must change.

Second, learn how to regulate your nervous system. Use my six pillars for regulating the nervous system to work on different aspects of your physical, mental and emotional health.

Finally, get some help, especially if your symptoms are severe.
Read
At the heart of most cases of chronic stress and/or burnout that I see in my clients is a struggle to adapt to the ever-changing nature of existence.

Each client comes with their specific patterns and beliefs, which are connected to their childhood and life experiences.

But behind all of these usually lies a common fear. The fear of uncertainty and of losing control.

Why I can help You

“Whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey.”

- Rumi

I have a lot of direct experience with conditions related to life and work crisis, stress, burnout and nervous system disregulation, as a life and health coach and as a person. I have been in your shoes after experiencing two burnouts myself and facing several life and work crises. I know first-hand what chronic stress is and what the consequences can be (in my case, they were severe). And I know what it is like to want to create a new version of yourself, but feeling confused and uncertain about where and how to start.

I now use these life experiences and learnings and combine them with a variety of certifications and therapy modalities to help others so that they do not have to go through what I went through.

The following methods form the basis for my coaching and trainings:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Habit Change Coaching
The Positive Stress Mindset Method
Compassionate Inquiry
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Theory U
Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction
Emotional Intelligence

My Services

I am so grateful to have been able to work with Eric on some of my issues. Before I came to work with him, I was struggling with a lot of stress and burnout from work and I wasn’t really sure how to make that transition to have more peace in my life and to be able to enjoy my life more. I loved working with Eric because he really helped me open my mind and see possibilities for myself and my life that I hadn’t quite seen before on my own. Sometimes I think we really need someone from the outside, like Eric, someone empathetic and really someone who can see us more clearly and guide us through changes that we want to make.

Eric is very experienced, empathetic and authentic, as well easy to connect to. He helped to uncover my triggers & limiting beliefs and provided practical tools how to deal with them. I understood where I am in terms of mental health and how to navigate through a stressful time. Each session was very productive and I just simply enjoyed it, despite the fact we were discussing challenging for me topics. I truly believe that he can guide me through my transformation to become more happy, fulfilled and resilient person.

Joanna S.

I was looking for burnout counseling because I hadn't found a place for therapy. I wanted to understand and do something. I wanted to start working on myself. Then I found Eric as a coach and I'm very happy with that. I immediately felt very understood and in good hands. I learned a lot about myself and gained some tools that I can use in the future when I experience emotional/mental stress or just get stuck in negative thoughts. For me it was a kind of tidying up, getting to know myself again, a change. I received important information about my system, which I gladly accepted, internalized and now belongs to me. Thanks for that!
