013 - People-Pleasing, Burnout & Boundaries: Therapy for Creatives with Lee Ellaway
In this powerful and gently eye-opening episode, I'm joined by Lee Ellaway, a person-centred counsellor, psychotherapist, and the founder of Lee Ellaway Therapy, a private practice supporting performers, creatives and those navigating big transitions in the arts industry.
With over 30 years of experience in theatre and live events, Lee shares why he pivoted from directing and running theatre schools to holding space for artists facing burnout, identity shifts, people-pleasing patterns and creative crossroads. Together, Lee and I explore why burnout hits so hard in our industry, how performers can begin setting boundaries, and what really happens in a first therapy session.
Expect heartfelt stories, boundary-setting analogies you’ll never forget (hello, garden fence with a gate), and a refreshing take on therapy that makes it feel human, accessible and less daunting, especially for creatives who feel stuck.
Whether you’re curious about therapy or in need of a reminder to put your own oxygen mask on first, this conversation is full of grounded, practical wisdom for anyone trying to balance passion, purpose and wellbeing.
