Slow down and find yourself

Reflective burnout recovery: a calm, reflective space for over-achievers, constant doers, and high-intensity thinkers

I’m Paula, a psychotherapist, business psychologist, author and coach. Welcome to my doorway to burnout recovery.  Like many professionals, I’ve spent most of my life pushing. I’ve pushed in my career, my studies and probably in most other areas of my life. However, like many of my clients, I realised that there comes a point where you can’t keep on pushing. Perhaps it’s being on cusp (or beyond) of burnout that brings you to this realisation, or maybe it’s just a dawning yearning for another way of being, but I know I am not alone in this.

Scarlet Thinking is a doorway to a slower, more reflective approach to work, life and mental health. Here you can find reflective essays on slowing down, courses to help you ease into that new way of being, and one to one coaching to support you in this. 

My offerings

One to one coaching

If you’re ready to explore change more personally, I offer 1:1 coaching. These sessions look at what might be holding you back from slowing down, and how to work with that, rather than against it. My psychotherapy background means that I can offer help even if your state of rush and overwork stems from a trauma response.
