When work takes up more than working hours
Career concerns can involve a difficult manager, a stalled role, redundancy, a major decision, imposter feelings or the sense that your work no longer fits your values. The pressure may follow you home, affecting sleep, mood and the people close to you. Sometimes the environment needs to change. At other times, perfectionism, fear of disappointing others or past experiences make it hard to set limits or trust your judgment. Both the circumstances and your response deserve attention.
You may be facing
• Dread before work or difficulty switching off afterwards
• Feeling stuck between security and the wish for change
• Conflict with colleagues, a manager or a business partner
• Overworking because saying no feels risky
• Self-doubt after promotion, job loss or a career break
• Uncertainty about your values, strengths or direction
• Work pressure affecting sleep, health or relationships
Therapy for clearer choices
Therapy can help you separate what is within your control from what is not, understand patterns that keep you overextended and clarify what you need from work at this stage of life. You can practise boundaries, difficult conversations and ways of responding to setbacks without treating them as a verdict on your worth. Your therapist will not choose a career path for you. The work is to make room for a more informed decision, whether that means changing roles, addressing a difficult situation, recovering from burnout or building a healthier relationship with achievement.
