FAQs
-
The first and only academy focused on burnout-aware, trauma-informed, science- backed training.
-
No - the academy is open to all people-focused professionals
-
Yes, all of the training is Burnout Academy accredited.
We’re committed to high standards, which you’ll find detailed in our ethics and transparency statement and Burnout Academy manifesto.
We’ve made a conscious decision not to pursue an accreditation with the ICF, as this limits the scope of the inclusion of neuroscience, and somatics, both of which we feel are key elements in Burnout Coaching.
We are actively pursuing our accreditation processes with the EMCC, AC, and CPD that much better suit the quality, calibre and scope of our training.

“Kelly is incredibly knowledgeable, warm and engaging. She provided pertinent information about neuroscience, how to recognise signs of burnout, the differences in mindset for someone pre- and post burnout, and many other nuggets without it becoming overwhelming, and as she herself said: “Without a slide in sight!”I highly recommend Kelly’s programme and feel very fortunate to have learnt from her!
Lee Marinaki - Your MOJO Coach
“Kelly Swingler is the real deal 🔥
Her Burnout Awareness training wasn’t just insightful—it was transformational. Kelly doesn’t just talk about burnout; she makes you feel it, recognise it, and learn how to stop it in its tracks before it destroys health, careers, and businesses.
In her training, she holds the space like no one else, blending breathwork, somatic coaching, and mindfulness to help us reconnect with our bodies and truly understand the impact of burnout. It wasn’t just theory—it was felt, experienced, and actionable.
I walked away not just informed, but armed—ready to better support my clients, spot burnout earlier, and tackle it head-on.
If you’re serious about preventing burnout, you need Kelly in your corner. Don’t wait until it’s too late.”
Mike Bedford - Neurospicy Leadership Coach
“The Burnout Academy was incredible. This opportunity to get the awareness opened up to what is an increasing and serious issue was invaluable. I said at the end of it that this transformational, and I stand by that. If you want to make a difference to the issue of burnout, this is your safe space to start. Thank you Kelly!”
Adele Currie- HR Director and DProf Researcher
“I can honestly say this programme is life changing in so many ways. Kelly is inclusive in her facilitation as well as collaborative in her approach to building psychological safety SUPER quickly with her cohorts, so the learning experience is immediately top tier. Kelly not only coaches us on the neuroscience and principles related to burnout, but also gives us valuable LIFE SKILLS that we can use for ourselves, our teams, colleagues, and loved ones.”
Aimee Young - Women’s Leadership Coach
“Kelly’s course for coaches on Burnout is a game-changer and gets my 100% recommendation.
Before becoming a coach I led teams for a long time, during which I’ve sadly seen burnout getting more prevalent. I see this being an area of real need with my clients going forward, and I wanted to be sure I knew how to help, first by understanding it better.
Thanks to Kelly I now have that knowledge, the tools to help and more! .. as I will soon be an accredited burnout coach (level 5). There is no one better to learn about this topic from in my opinion. Her own lived experience with Burnout, and as a coach, together with her energy and engaging tuition, made for a value-packed two days. How she made it fun at the same time, I don’t know! Highly recommended.”
Megan Wiseman - Director of Customer Success
“HIGHLY recommend this Burnout Awareness Training for coaches.
It focusses on:
• Preparing the coach to understand what burnout is, how it manifests in our clients and what causes it (the latter drawing on information from the field of neuroscience).
• A detailed consideration of how we can address prevention and recovery with clients. Including educating the client about stress, how this can build up and what to look out for in themselves. And practical coaching methods that can help the client address their stress and exhaustion.
• What will not work in coaching when someone actually reaches burnout. It is stressed that you can’t think your way out of burnout because the primitive brain, which is trying to keep you safe, is dominant At this point there is very little a coach can do and referral is essential.
So much is packed in to the training, it is highly informative and led by an expert.
It is so important to understand what burnout is and isn't, what the role of the coach can be (it is certainly not to diagnose), and when it is time to refer.”
