How we can help

Burnout is often associated with a prolonged state of stress related to the work context, and can show up as physical and emotional exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, reduced motivation and changes in personal and professional functioning. At Clínica da Vila, support is provided through psychological intervention, with an individualised, evidence-based approach. The therapeutic process helps to understand the factors that contribute to the development and persistence of exhaustion, working on aspects such as stress management, personal and professional boundaries, patterns of functioning and self-regulation strategies.

Where appropriate, coaching can act as a complementary intervention, with strategies focused on reorganising routines, managing priorities and putting concrete changes into practice at work, according to each person's needs and goals.
