Kandice Dondona · Clinical Counsellor, MPCC
You don’t have to keep running on empty.
Virtual counselling for overwhelmed women in BC who feel mentally overloaded, anxious, exhausted, and unable to switch off.
YOU’RE STILL KEEPING UP.
So why do you feel this exhausted?
You’re getting through it. Work, home, family, the endless decisions. From the outside, you probably look fine. But your mind doesn’t stop, rest doesn’t help, and there’s almost nothing left for you.
DOES THIS FEEL FAMILIAR?
This is what overwhelm can look like.
01
Your mind won’t switch off.
You replay conversations, run through tomorrow’s list, and struggle to reach real quiet.
02
Everyone relies on you.
At work and at home, you’re the one keeping things moving. There’s little room left for you.
03
Rest doesn’t feel restful.
Even when you stop, your mind stays busy and you feel guilty for not doing more.
04
You don’t feel like yourself anymore.
You’re functioning and getting things done, but you feel depleted, disconnected, and unlike yourself.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU’RE EXPERIENCING
What happens when you’ve been running on empty for too long.
When it becomes the baseline, it starts affecting everything — your energy, your patience, your sleep, how present you can be. Counselling gives you space to understand what’s happening and start shifting the patterns.
HOW COUNSELLING CAN HELP.
A place to slow things down and start feeling like yourself again.
Counselling gives you space to figure out what’s driving the overwhelm, make sense of what keeps repeating, and start making changes that actually fit your life.
Feel calmer — without pretending.
We work to bring down the baseline anxiety that keeps you on edge. Not by pushing it away — by understanding where it’s coming from.
Set boundaries without the guilt spiral.
Most women I work with know exactly what they need to do. The problem is the guilt that comes with it. We work on where that comes from and how to change it.
Feel like yourself again.
Under all the exhaustion and demands is a version of you that feels steadier, more confident, more like yourself. That’s not gone — it’s what we’re working toward.
