Motherhood, Mental Load & Burnout
Becoming a mother — or simply carrying the weight of family life — can leave little space for you.
You may feel as though you are constantly giving to others whilst quietly running on empty yourself. Perhaps you are juggling the pressures of work, parenting, relationships and everyday life whilst trying to hold everything together.
It can look like:
- Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted
- Snapping more easily or feeling less like yourself
- Struggling to switch off or truly rest
- Feeling guilty when prioritising yourself
- Carrying the invisible mental load of family life
- Feeling lost underneath the roles and responsibilities you hold
Therapy can offer space to pause, breathe, untangle what feels overwhelming and begin reconnecting with yourself again.
How person-centred counselling can help
Person-centred counselling gives you a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk, at your own pace. There is no pressure to have the right words or to know exactly what is wrong. Together we can make sense of what you are carrying and what you need, so that change can begin to come from you.
Sessions are available in person at my private, peaceful counselling room in Barford, just outside Norwich, or online by secure video call.
