Centre for Burnout
Burnout
Marcel has come to specialise in the area of burnout. Burnout is a result of excessive and prolonged emotional, physical, and mental stress. In many cases, burnout is related to one's job or their ministry context. Burnout happens when the balance of what you give constantly exceeds what you are taking in or receiving for yourself. By paying attention to people’s need for self-care Marcel has come to realise that burnout is far more prevalent that people may appreciate. Marcel prefers the opportunity to intervene earlier (though it is never too late) and help people understand how to bounce back and increase their self-awareness with some particular focus on coping mechanisms.

Burnout Training Program
To aid clients/ supervisees, patients, and staff in burnout recovery and ongoing sustenance:
*N.B. Having a current self-diagnosis or personal concern of burnout does not preclude attendance - an individual assessment and tailored program will form part of the course. An individual component will also be required for this.
Involving: Individual and group sessions
*Minimum requirements - a qualification, experience in a relevant field, and commitment to see through the whole program. Marcel intends to engage people who complete the course for collaborative work in burnout recovery with others.

Self-awareness work in therapy involves uncovering contributing core drivers and how we relate to ourselves as parents, children, and adults. It also involves exploring and uncovering core coping mechanisms.
Debunking of personal myths – (e.g. such as "I can do everything that I believe is required, there is such a great human need that I need to attend to, I can't deal with conflict)

Burnout Treatment Consultancy for Organisations and Groups
The impact of burnout in organisations is in the billions of dollars in Australia. Absenteeism and presenteeism are just two of the commonly known symptoms. Ideally, prevention is the optimal paradigm with respect to burnout. However, the reality of people experiencing burnout or being properly burnt is more than a common reality. Awareness Centre wishes to engage organisations and groups in burnout prevention, treatment and recovery programs as well as tailored training sessions. There are a range of ways to address and treat burnout in programs and revitalise the workplace to increase productivity.
Fully geared towards professionals and organisations, our customised training is designed to equip managers, H.R. personnel, and employees with the tools they need to identify, prevent, and manage burnout in the workplace. Our comprehensive approach helps foster a supportive work environment prioritising mental health and well-being. Additionally, our customised sessions can further assist if your team is currently navigating high-stress environments or showing signs of burnout.

“Marcel's approach in a counselling capacity is truly exceptional. He has a way of guiding you through challenges that stands out. He doesn't rely on conventional methods but instead delves into your emotions, fostering important insights. His approach is both gentle and effective, allowing you to explore and grow in a safe environment. Marcel's focus on understanding the root causes of issues rather than offering quick fixes sets him apart. His guidance promotes lasting changes and empowers you to make healthier choices. Marcel's impact on my life has been remarkable.”
SHARON, PSYCHOLOGIST
“Marcel has offered invaluable support during a challenging period of professional stress. His exceptional ability to establish a collaborative and trust-based rapport with his clients is truly commendable. Marcel's empathy and professionalism have played a pivotal role in my journey to finding balance and well-being. He helped me gain insights into managing stress responses and addressing unhelpful patterns while promoting self-compassion and goal-setting. I wholeheartedly recommend Marcel to anyone facing professional challenges, or burnout. He's a true game-changer who places a high priority on your well-being.”
LANA, SOCIAL WORKER
“I first met Marcel through my EAP service when I was nearing and then ultimately succumbing to burnout. I highly valued Marcel’s considered balance between asking the right questions, listening deeply to my responses and creating an experience where I genuinely felt both heard and more importantly understood. Since this time Marcel has supported me to explore more deeply the triggers and causes of my anxiety and the coping mechanisms I have used, some more helpful than others. Marcel supported me through some incredibly challenging times, at points where I wasn't sure how I’d get through and rebuild my health, confidence, life and career. Fast forward many years and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t have found my way to where I am now without Marcel’s support and guidance, he was fundamentally important to enabling me to do the work I needed to do.”
NICK, EXECUTIVE COACH
“Marcel is an incredibly talented, caring, professional Counsellor who has supported me through my life’s toughest personal and work challenges. I have had the benefit of receiving 1-on-1 confidential support from Marcel both in person and on Zoom. He has a unique ability to show extraordinary levels of care while getting to the heart of any matter being discussed. I particularly appreciated the time he took in the beginning to understand my objectives for therapy and to meet me where I was without judgment. His intuitive method and professional experience allowed the trust to build quickly so that I always felt very safe and cared for. I highly recommend Marcel for personal counselling support, organisational training, and workshops to support mental health, well-being, and burnout prevention. Thank you, Marcel, for your incredible support. You are the best.”
