About First Session
What is therapy for workplace stress?

Therapy for workplace stress provides a supportive space to explore the challenges you're facing at work and develop practical strategies for managing them. Your therapist can help you identify stress triggers, build coping skills, set boundaries, and work through any underlying issues contributing to your stress. Sessions are tailored to your specific situation and goals.

How can therapy help with work-related stress?

Many people find that therapy helps them gain perspective on workplace challenges, develop healthier responses to stress, improve communication skills, and create better work-life balance. Therapy can also help you work through burnout, navigate difficult workplace relationships, or process career transitions. The skills you develop often benefit other areas of your life as well.

What are common signs of workplace stress?

Common signs include difficulty sleeping, feeling anxious or irritable, trouble concentrating, physical symptoms like headaches or tension, dreading going to work, withdrawing from colleagues or loved ones, and feeling exhausted even after rest. If work stress is affecting your daily life or wellbeing, speaking with a therapist can help you understand what's happening and find ways forward.

How do I find a therapist for workplace stress?

On First Session, you can browse therapists who list workplace stress or career counselling as areas of focus. Watch their intro videos to get a sense of their personality and approach—finding someone you feel comfortable with is important. You can also filter by therapy style, availability, and whether they offer online or in-person sessions. Learn about signs you've found a good therapist.

Can therapy help with burnout?

Yes, many therapists work with clients experiencing burnout. Therapy can help you understand the factors contributing to burnout, develop recovery strategies, set healthier boundaries, and make decisions about your career path. If you're feeling emotionally exhausted, detached from your work, or questioning your career, a therapist can provide support and guidance.

How do I get started?

Getting started is straightforward. Browse therapists on First Session who work with workplace stress, watch their intro videos to find someone whose approach resonates with you, and book a session online. Many therapists offer free consultations so you can ask questions before committing. Taking time to address work stress is an investment in your overall wellbeing.
