Excuse the Language...
But when I was burnt out, I didn’t say “I’m struggling with focus and emotional regulation.”
I thought to myself, “Man, I am f*cked!”
Because when you're on that slippery slope, something inside feels increasingly wrong.
Your inner wisdom knows this is more than tiredness or a temporary lapse.
Chronic stress literally changes how your nervous system functions. Changes in brain chemistry, wiring and even structure lead to an alteration in our whole being. How we think, feel and behave all become skewed, which can lead to a downward spiral.
The good news is that those changes are reversible. That’s what I help people do.
My work combines 1:1 coaching with psychoeducation to help people recover clarity, energy, and a sense of self after burnout and periods of chronic stress.
I don’t do generic resilience tips or productivity-hack soundbites.
I help you understand what’s happening to your brain, create the space to explore your own systems and provide you the tools to rewire.
My Name is Phil Lunt
I’m a neuroscience-based coach helping people recover from burnout and chronic stress. My work is rooted in over a decade of research into the neuroscience of transformation and lived experience of burnout, giving me both the science and the empathy to guide others back to balance.
I hold an MSc in Neuroscience & Mental Health and am a certified burnout coach, with additional training in Voice Dialogue, Belief Clearing, and EFT. Beyond the qualifications, what drives me is a deep commitment to helping people rediscover clarity, energy, and inner peace after years of stress.
Alongside my 1:1 coaching, I am the lead tutor for the Balanceology Neuroscience for Transformational Coaching course that I created. Sharing what I’ve learned through both recovery and thousands of hours of study is my way of helping others make lasting change.
Burnt Out?
3 Stages of Burnout: A Rough Guide
Everyone’s experience is different, but most people move through recognisable phases. You might not fit neatly into one box
Stage 1:
Pushing Through
-
Running on adrenaline
-
"Just one more deadline"
-
Sense of unwarranted urgency
-
Starting to feel fatigued
-
Work boundaries blurred
Stage 2:
Can't Switch Off
-
Tired and wired
-
Motivation dropping
-
Increasingly impatient
-
Scattered. Mistakes creeping in
-
Anxiety and hypervigilance
Stage 3:
Collapse
-
Focus and motivation gone
-
Emotions out of control
-
Crushing fatigue
-
Possible physical issues
-
Small tasks feel overwhelming
How We Recover: 3 Layers of Change
1. Re-optimise
Address the hidden triggers that activate the stress responses responsible for gradually wearing you down, such as:
-
Overwhelm
-
Feeling unfairly treated
-
Fear of letting others down or looking bad
-
Lack of agency
-
Living in uncertainty
2. Rebalance
Shift how you use your attention and energy, by choosing modes of being that restore rather than deplete. This includes learning to regulate your nervous system and reconnecting to "body wisdom":
-
Resting in ways that truly restore
-
Paying attention to body signals and energy levels
-
Simple practices to calm the nervous system
-
Noticing activities that drain energy
-
Choosing activities that bring clarity, presence, or vitality
3. Rewire
Break free from patterns and perspectives that keep you stuck or burnt out. This is deeply transformational work, where old unconscious beliefs are updated leading to feelings of wholeness and inner peace:
-
Shifting outdated beliefs that drive overwork or self-sacrifice
-
Seeing emotions as information, not enemies
-
Changing how you relate to failure or rejection
-
Opening space for new perspectives and choices
-
Creating a more sustainable, aligned sense of self
Our Approach
True recovery is about working with your biology, not against it.
My method takes a whole-system view of burnout, combining brain science with body awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful change in daily life. The process helps restore the natural rhythm between doing, being and becoming, so energy and purpose return sustainably
