Coaching for physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals
You take care of everyone at work. Who takes care of you? Coaching for the people who hold this work every day, for when exhaustion has started to feel like the baseline instead of the exception.

Physicians and residents
You trained for a decade to do this, and lately you find yourself counting the hours until the shift ends. That is worth talking about before it hardens.
Nurses and advanced practice clinicians
You carry the patients, the short staffing, and the family in the hallway. Nobody's charting how much of you is left at the end of it.
Everyone else who keeps it running
Pharmacists, therapists, techs, coordinators, and managers. The work that holds a hospital up is rarely the work anyone thanks you for.
Coaching for physician burnout has evidence behind it
In November 2025, Annals of Internal Medicine published a review of 99 randomized trials testing what actually helps healthcare workers with burnout. For physicians, professional coaching measurably reduced burnout and depersonalization, the numbness where patients start to feel like tasks.
Randomized trials in the review
Healthcare professionals studied
Weeks: programs that ran longer worked better
Published in Annals of Internal Medicine
The review compared individual-level programs across physicians, nurses and midwives, and mixed groups of healthcare staff. The pattern was clear. Professional coaching helped physicians, while mindfulness programs helped nurses, midwives, and mixed teams more than they helped physicians. And for both, the benefit was stronger when the program ran for more than four weeks.
That last finding shapes how I work. One workshop or a single wellness day is rarely enough. What seems to help is a steady, ongoing conversation with someone whose only job is to be in your corner.
In the spirit of the name: most trials in the review weren't blinded and relied on self-reported measures, which is hard to avoid in this kind of research. And if you're a nurse, the evidence points more strongly to mindfulness than to coaching. The two aren't competing, and plenty of people do both.

The things there's no rotation for
Medicine trains you to put yourself last and calls it professionalism. Coaching is one hour where you come first, and nobody needs anything from you.
Exhaustion as the baseline
Noticing when tired stopped being a bad week and became the weather, and what you want to do about it.
Getting the care back
The reason you went into this work is usually still there, underneath the charting and the pages. We go looking for it.
Stay, change, or go
A new specialty, fewer shifts, a non-clinical role, or leaving. Thinking it through out loud with someone who has no stake in the answer.
You spend all day holding space for other people. This is yours.

Hi, I'm Andrew
I'm a Co-Active trained coach based in San Francisco. Before this I spent twenty years in product design and over five leading teams, and in 2026 I left my job to coach full time.
I'm not a clinician, and I won't pretend to know your ward or your clinic. What I do know is what it's like to give everything to a job that keeps asking for more, and how easy it is to stop noticing what that costs. My job is to listen closely, tell you the truth as I see it, and stay in your corner.
Read my storyWhat people usually ask first
Does coaching actually help physician burnout?
The best current evidence says yes. The 2025 review of 99 trials found coaching reduced burnout and depersonalization among physicians, with programs over four weeks working best.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching looks forward and doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If you're struggling with depression or thoughts of harming yourself, please reach a clinician first. The free Physician Support Line is 1-888-409-0141, and anyone can call or text 988.
Will my employer know?
No. Honest Club is independent and doesn't report to any hospital or health system. What you say stays between us, with the usual exception if someone's safety is at risk.
How long does it last?
As long as it's useful. There's no fixed package, and you can stop whenever you're ready. We talk through packages and pricing on the free call.
