Masterclass

The 5 Unspoken Contributors to Burnout

and How Coaches Can Respond Confidently Without Doing Harm

Burnout is now present in almost every coaching context, whether it is named explicitly or not.

Many clients arrive with goals around performance, confidence, balance, or transition, whilst burnout sits quietly in the background, shaping how they think, feel, and function. Alongside this, there are often deeper, unspoken contributors that intensify burnout and influence how safely it can be explored.

This 90-minute masterclass is designed for qualified coaches who want to better understand burnout, learn how to recognise it when it shows up in different forms, and respond ethically and confidently when additional contributors emerge.

We will explore five common contributors that frequently sit alongside burnout, understand how they tend to surface in coaching conversations, and learn how to meet them appropriately, whether within the coaching space, or by supporting your client to access other professional help.

In this masterclass, you’ll learn how to:

Understand the five often unspoken contributors that can intensify or prolong burnout

Respond with confidence, ethical clarity, and appropriate boundaries

Avoid common pitfalls that can inadvertently cause harm

Stay grounded in your role while supporting clients effectively

This is not about turning coaches into therapists or expanding scope.

It is about discernment, confidence, and ethical coaching practice in every day coaching conversations where burnout is increasingly common.

The five contributors we’ll explore:

Narcissistic parent, partner, or workplace dynamics

Menopause and the midlife transition

Neurodivergence and late diagnosis

Trauma history and nervous system dysregulation
Suicidal ideation - scope, confidence, and referral

Each Contributor will be explored through:

How it commonly sits behind or shows up alongside burnout

How burnout can mask or be shaped by it

What ethical, high-quality coaching looks like

Where coaching can be a bridge to other professional support,
and how to support onward referral well

Who this masterclass is for:

want to deepen their understanding of burnout and how it presents

notice clients feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or depleted without clear cause
