You’re still showing up. You’re just running on fumes to do it.
You’re the reliable one — at work, at home, for everyone. And somewhere the tank emptied. The cynicism, the Sunday-night dread, the tiredness that sleep doesn’t fix. Burnout isn’t weakness; it’s what happens to capable people who carried too much for too long without ever refilling.
I’m Dr. Samuel. I know burnout from the inside — in war zones with the Red Crescent, in veterans’ clinics, and now within a health-care system at Fraser Health, where I watch helpers run themselves empty every day. I work with the people who hold everyone else: nurses, first responders, veterans, caregivers, and high performers who can’t admit they’re depleted.

“A truly professional and reliable counsellor. He was available whenever I needed help urgently — on weekends or even at night. Highly recommend.”

You can work hard and not feel hollow. We rebuild the boundaries, the recovery, and the self that burnout buried — so you stop white-knuckling your own life.
No time for therapy because you’re too busy? That’s the symptom, not the obstacle. Afraid you’ll just be told to “do less”? I deal in what’s actually possible for your life. Worth a conversation? Just say “I saw your website.”
Your first 20 minutes are completely free — no forms, no commitment, no pressure to book. Just a real conversation, in English or فارسی.
