"Thank you so much for normalising the experience of all of these challenges that come with caring work, and for reminding me of the joy that I also feel".

Michelle (Psychologist)

You love your work, but it’s taking a toll.

You entered this work to help people, ease suffering, and make a difference.
But somewhere along the way, what once felt meaningful has begun to feel heavy.

You may be wondering how to keep showing up for others without burning out, shutting down, or walking away.

If you’ve found yourself feeling flat, overextended, or questioning whether you can keep doing this long-term, you’re not alone.
And you are not the problem.

Clinical training, cultural norms and the sheer pressure of the work have taught us to disconnect and soldier on.

Most of us were trained to keep the personal and professional separate.

But those same rules, the ones meant to make us “good professionals”, are often what push us toward exhaustion and disconnection.

It’s not that you’re doing it wrong.


It’s that the lens we were taught to see through is fogged by impossible expectations.

What if you could see more clearly, and find your way back to what you love?

Through the Clearing The Lens Protocol (a simple, reflective tool) you'll learn to:

- Recognise what’s truly yours to carry, and what belongs to the system

- Interrupt the inner critic, perfectionism, and over-responsibility loop

- Reconnect with clarity and compassion — for yourself and your clients

- Take the first step toward sustainable, satisfying clinical work

You’ll walk away with fresh insight, a practical framework, and renewed confidence in your capacity to do the work you love, without sacrificing your own needs.

What we'll cover...

  1. Why so many helping professionals are struggling right now, and why self-care alone isn’t enough.

  2. How outdated clinical conditioning keeps us stuck, and how to see through it clearly.

  3. The Clearing The Lens Protocol, a tool to help you reframe and respond differently.

  4. Real examples from practice, how to use this approach when perfectionism, fatigue, or disconnection strike.

  5. Next steps for sustainable change, including a brief introduction to Flourish, the six-month program that continues this work.

You’ll leave with...

  • A self-coaching tool to reset perspective and prevent emotional overload

  • A clearer understanding of what’s systemic vs. personal

  • Renewed energy and hope for your clinical practice

  • Connection to a supportive community of peers

  • An invitation to go deeper through Flourish (starting 3 November)

Who is this 60-minute workshop for?

This session is for clinical leaders, therapists, clinicians, and service providers who:

  • Feel stretched thin or on the edge of burnout

  • Are ready to reconnect with meaning and motivation

  • Want to move out of perfectionism and self-criticism

  • Want tools that are practical, evidence-based, and grounded in compassion

"Minky has a wonderful way of putting complex theory into easy-to-understand language".

Sandy (Therapist)

Meet your facilitator!

I’m Minky van der Walt, a Registered Music Therapist, psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor with over 25 years of clinical experience.

I've witnessed first-hand the cumulative toll of exhaustion, perfectionism, and self-doubt, and how broken systems can leave even the most dedicated clinicians running on empty.

What I also know is that with the right tools, support, and community, it’s possible to flourish again.

What I Offer You:

  • 25+ Years of Clinical Experience: insight from hospitals, community services, and private practice that helps me understand the challenges you’re facing.

  • Depth in Training & Practice: practical tools from neuroscience, somatic work, EMDR, and creative approaches that you can actually use in daily practice.

  • 20+ Years of Clinical Supervision: guidance that goes beyond theory, helping you translate your skills into sustainable, fulfilling work.

  • Lived Experience: I’ve been through the same challenges - I know what it takes to move from exhaustion and doubt to clarity and renewal.

"Minky’s approach is creative, compassionate and insightful. Her work is informed by a deep and broad knowledge and many years of experience".

Sonja (Supervisor, Trauma & Behaviour Consultant)
