Burnout is more than just fatigue. It's a state of emotional exhaustion, mental depletion, and physical fatigue that stems from chronic stress—especially in high-pressure environments. As work demands increase and personal pressures mount, it's easy to feel mentally and emotionally overwhelmed, leading to severe burnout symptoms.
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we specialise in private burnout treatment, offering tailored care to help you regain balance and restore wellbeing.
What are the symptoms of burnout?
Burnout symptoms manifest across emotional, physical, and mental health. Recognizing these signs early is crucial for effective intervention:
Emotional exhaustion: Feeling detached, irritable, or emotionally drained, making it hard to engage with others or find joy in activities.
Mental burnout: Difficulty concentrating, experiencing brain fog, or feeling mentally depleted, even after rest.
Physical fatigue: Constant tiredness, no matter how much sleep or rest you get.
Increased anxiety: A growing sense of dread, irritability, and helplessness that makes simple tasks overwhelming.
Decreased performance: Struggling to complete daily tasks, feeling less productive, or making mistakes more frequently.
Our team of specialists at Schoen Clinic Chelsea is trained to spot burnout signs and diagnose and treat burnout, ensuring you receive a tailored recovery plan designed to meet your specific needs.
What causes burnout?
Burnout often results from prolonged, unmanaged stress, particularly in demanding jobs or personal circumstances. Workplaces are a major source, especially for high-achieving professionals like doctors, lawyers and teachers, who may struggle with perfectionism or a lack of work-life balance.
Beyond the workplace, factors such as caregiving responsibilities, chronic illness, and family obligations can contribute. Our team at Schoen Clinic Chelsea works closely with you to uncover the root causes of your mental burnout, providing personalised care that addresses both your symptoms and lifestyle.

Comprehensive burnout treatment in London
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we take a holistic approach to burnout treatment, offering a wide range of therapies tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to help you recover fully, both mentally and physically, with therapies designed to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and restore your overall well-being.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for burnout
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatments for burnout. It helps individuals identify and alter negative thought patterns that contribute to chronic stress. By addressing these thought processes, CBT can empower you to manage challenging situations without becoming overwhelmed, improving emotional regulation and resilience.
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we offer CBT for burnout as part of a comprehensive recovery plan, ensuring that you can better cope with stressors in both personal and professional contexts.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is another valuable component of our burnout treatment programme. This therapy focuses on mindfulness practices, such as meditation and breathing techniques, that promote relaxation and stress management.
MBSR is particularly effective in combating emotional exhaustion and helping individuals remain present, even during high-stress situations. Our burnout therapy programme and specialised group therapy integrate mindfulness techniques to provide you with tools for lasting recovery.
Medication for severe burnout symptoms
In certain cases, burnout may be accompanied by severe anxiety or depression, requiring medication as part of the treatment. Our psychiatrists at Schoen Clinic Chelsea work closely with you to assess whether medication is appropriate, ensuring it complements a broader therapeutic plan aimed at long-term recovery.
Self-care strategies for burnout recovery
In addition to professional burnout therapy, self-care plays a vital role in recovery. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we support you in integrating practical self-care strategies into your daily life:
Set boundaries: Learning when to say no and ensuring you have time to rest is key to preventing and managing burnout.
Prioritise work-life balance: Regularly assess your workload and commitments, ensuring you’re not overstretching yourself.
Engage in regular physical activity: Exercise is a natural stress reliever that can boost mood and energy levels.
Practice relaxation techniques: Incorporate mindfulness, meditation, or deep breathing exercises into your routine to reduce stress.
Workplace burnout: how to spot the signs
Burnout in the workplace is increasingly common, especially in high-pressure industries. Recognising the signs of burnout early on can prevent further mental and physical exhaustion:
Feeling mentally exhausted after just a few hours of work.
Losing motivation and passion for your job.
Experiencing conflict with colleagues due to irritability or emotional detachment.
Struggling to concentrate or complete tasks, leading to decreased productivity.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you may be suffering from workplace burnout. Early intervention through burnout treatment at Schoen Clinic Chelsea can help you recover and regain control.
Burnout vs stress: what's the difference
Stress and burnout are closely related, but they are not the same. Stress is a normal part of life, but it can become unmanageable if left unchecked. Burnout occurs when chronic stress leads to overwhelming mental and emotional depletion. When you feel mentally exhausted for prolonged periods, you may be experiencing burnout.
How long does it take to recover from burnout?
Recovery from burnout varies depending on the individual and the severity of symptoms. For many people, with the right treatment, noticeable improvement can occur within weeks. However, full recovery may take several months. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we’ll develop a treatment plan that is right for you, supporting you every step of the way.
