Fatigue & Burnout Coaching, Since 2002
A Burnout Coach for People Who Are Running on Empty
Practical, personal coaching from Amir Norris, who has supported burnout and chronic fatigue for over 20 years, and lived through it himself.
If you’re looking for a burnout coach, chances are you already know you can’t keep going the way you have been.
You’re tired in a way a weekend off doesn’t touch. You’re wired at night and flat during the day. You’re still getting everything done, but on autopilot, disconnected from how any of it actually feels.
Maybe you’ve taken time off and gone straight back to the same pace. Maybe you’ve read the articles about work-life balance and none of it quite fits your situation.
And underneath it, there’s a question you might not have said out loud yet:
How do I actually change this?
That’s what burnout coaching is for. And you don’t have to work it out alone.
A coach who has been where you are
Most burnout advice comes from people who have read about it. Amir has lived it twice over: his own burnout, and ten years with ME/CFS afterwards, before he understood what was actually driving it.
What he found, in his own experience and in over 20 years of coaching others, is that burnout is rarely just a workload problem.
Burnout is a signal that your nervous system has been stuck in high alert for too long.
Time off helps for a while. But if the underlying pattern, the part of you that stays braced and switched on, doesn’t change, the exhaustion tends to come back once you’re back in the same routine.
Burnout coaching with Amir focuses on that pattern directly: understanding what’s driving your fatigue, and building a practical, sustainable way of working and living that doesn’t run you into the ground again.

What burnout coaching with Amir looks like
A practical, non-clinical approach built around understanding your energy and changing the patterns that keep draining it.
-
Understanding what’s driving your burnout
Looking honestly at your workload and your habits, and at the nervous system patterns sitting underneath them.
-
A framework, not generic advice
The same approach behind the Energy Excellence Course, adapted to your situation: practical tools for calming a nervous system stuck in high alert.
-
Pacing that fits a working life
Realistic strategies for managing your energy through a working week, built for people who don’t have the option to simply stop.
-
Personal email coaching from Amir and Aliya
Working through the Energy Excellence Course with one-to-one email coaching from Amir and Aliya included, up to 6 months depending on your plan, so you have someone to check in with as you apply it to your own situation.
Is burnout coaching right for you?
This is probably a good fit if:
- You’re exhausted, wired, or numb in a way that’s become your normal
- Time off helps briefly, then the same tiredness comes back
- You want a practical way to change the pattern, rather than another article to read
- You’re open to the idea that your nervous system plays a part in this, alongside your schedule
- You want support from someone who has actually been through burnout
This is probably not for you if:
- You’re looking for a medical diagnosis or clinical treatment (this is educational coaching, not medicine)
- You’re dealing with a mental health crisis and need urgent support right now
- You’re looking for a guaranteed fix instead of a framework you work with over time
In crisis or need urgent support now? Emergency: 999 or A&E. Urgent, non-emergency: 111 or your GP. Samaritans (24/7): 116 123. Text Shout: 85258.
How to get started
There’s no single path. Most people start with one of these, depending on where they are.

Six short videos explaining what’s actually happening in a burnt-out nervous system, and why rest alone often isn’t enough. A good first step if you’re not ready to talk to anyone yet.

Burnout, ME/CFS, Long-COVID and post-viral fatigue can look similar from the inside. This article walks through the differences and where they overlap.
Questions people ask before getting in touch
Is this medical treatment for burnout?
No. Burnout coaching with Amir is educational coaching, not medical treatment. It’s designed to help you understand what’s driving your fatigue and build practical, sustainable changes. It doesn’t replace medical advice, and if you’re concerned about your physical or mental health, please speak to your GP alongside any coaching support.
What’s the difference between a burnout coach and a therapist?
Amir is a Fatigue & Burnout Coach, not a therapist or clinician. Coaching focuses on practical, forward-looking tools for understanding and managing your energy. If you feel you need clinical or mental health support, a GP referral or a registered therapist is the right next step, and coaching can sit alongside that.
How is this different from just taking time off?
Time off can help you recharge temporarily, but it doesn’t usually change the underlying pattern that led to burnout in the first place. Coaching looks at that pattern directly, so the aim is a way of working and living that doesn’t run you back into the same exhaustion once you’re back in your normal routine.
Is the coaching one-to-one, or just the course?
The coaching is personal, one-to-one, and delivered by email, as part of the Energy Excellence Course. You work through the course at your own pace, with email coaching support from Amir and Aliya included, from 1 to 6 months depending on your plan. If you’re not sure it’s the right fit, email us first and we can talk through your situation before you commit to anything.
Can you guarantee this will fix my burnout?
No, and I’d be cautious of anyone who tells you they can. What I can offer is a framework built from my own experience with burnout and over 20 years of coaching others, and honest support as you work through it. Individual experiences vary.
One last thing
If you’re reading this, you’re probably running on whatever energy you have left just to get through the day. I know what that feels like.
I’m not going to tell you coaching will fix everything, or that there’s a quick way through this. There isn’t, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something they can’t back up.
What I can tell you is this: understanding what was actually driving my own burnout and fatigue, instead of pushing through it, changed things for me. If you’d like some support working out what’s driving yours, I’d be glad to help.
