For leaders who
look fine, but know
they are not.

I help high-performing leaders spot the burnout before the board does.

THE

BURNOUT

COACH

You can't

switch off.

You feel

permanently

behind.

You're snapping

at people you

love.

You're tired

in your

bones

You keep telling people you're fine.

You're successful, but strangely joyless.

You're wondering how long you can keep this up.

If that sounds uncomfortably familiar, good.
Good that you've noticed.

YOU MIGHT BE HERE BECAUSE...

Burnout is not weakness.
Burnout is not weakness.
 

It is what happens when capable people spend too long overriding themselves.

​

Too much pressure. Too much responsibility. Too little recovery. Too much pretending.

​

Eventually the system starts sending warnings.

Most people ignore them until life forces the issue.

​

My work is to help you listen earlier.

Honest conversations

Clarity on what matters

Practical strategies.

Accountability and support.

Sleep that actually rests you.

Your judgement back.

How I help

We slow the noise down. We work out what is actually going on. We separate facts from stories.

​

We identify what's draining you, what you're tolerating, what you're avoiding, and what needs to change.

​

Then we make practical, honest decisions. Not dramatic. Not fluffy. Practical.

​

You leave with clarity, language, actions and accountability.

The question beneath the noise

When you’re overwhelmed your mind speeds up and your perspective narrows. Everything feels urgent, problems grow larger and your ability to see clearly becomes compromised.

 

My approach begins differently.

 

I use a simple, evidence informed sequence of questions designed to settle your  nervous system, so you can distinguish what is actually happening from  what it fears might happen.

 

I first experienced the power of this in the middle of the Atlantic, exhausted, hundreds of miles from land and convinced I was in real danger.

 

One carefully chosen question made me stop.

 

I took a breath. My shoulders dropped. Nothing outside me had changed, but my ability to assess it had.

 

That shift is where our work begins.

Start with one conversation - Burnout Coach
Start with one conversation

No programme to buy. 

​

No big commitment. 

​

No performative breakthrough required. 

​

Just one honest conversation. If we both think I can help, we'll talk about what support might look like. If not, you'll still leave clearer than when you arrived. 

Why me? Tim Harris - Burnout Coach. Start with one conversation
Why me?

I've led teams, made hard calls, carried too much and ignored the warning signs. I know what it's like to perform while privately falling apart. 

​

I've experienced burnout, depression, functioning alcoholism and the cost of ignoring the signals. 

​

I've also rebuilt my life and spent years helping leaders face the conversations they would rather avoid. 

​

I'll help you tell yourself the truth. Compassionately. Mostly. 

WHAT LEADERS SAY

Tim could not have been more supportive. His calmness and practical guidance has genuinely changed my whole approach to challenge and I feel I am again thriving.

​

Will be forever in his debt.”

FAQ's - The Burnout Coach, here to help you.
FAQ's

Q: How is this different from therapy? It isn't a replacement for therapy, and if I think you need it, I'll say so. This is direct, practical coaching for leaders who are functioning but running on empty — built around honest conversation, not clinical treatment.

Q: Who do you typically work with? Senior leaders and high performers across military, policing, healthcare, and corporate environments — including the Royal Marines, Royal Navy, Thames Valley Police, Google, and the NHS — people who look fine from the outside but know they are not.

Q: Is it confidential? Yes. Nothing discussed goes further than our conversation. No reporting back to your board, your HR team, or anyone else.

Q: How much does it cost? The cost depends on the level and length of support you need. We’ll discuss that in an initial conversation, and I’ll explain the options and fees clearly before we decide whether to continue. There is no obligation and no uncomfortable sales pitch.

Q: What actually happens in the first call? One honest conversation. No sales pitch, no assessment forms. If we both think I can help, we'll talk about what ongoing support could look like. If not, you'll still leave clearer than when you arrived.

Strength isn't carrying more. 

It's knowing what to put down.
