The specialist who understands
what you're going through
I'm Kevin Verpoorten, a Stress & Burnout Recovery Specialist based in Belgium, working with high-performing professionals across the globe.
My approach combines clinical training at Harvard Medical School in psychiatric management with certified expertise in stress, burnout, and life coaching. The result is a structured, evidence-based methodology that addresses burnout at its root, not just the surface symptoms.
I know what burnout feels like from the inside. I lived with it for years before finding my way out. That lived experience, combined with rigorous clinical training, is what allows me to see patterns most practitioners miss and guide recovery with both precision and genuine understanding.
"Recovery is not weakness. It is the most strategic decision a high-performer can make."
Burnout doesn't announce itself.
It accumulates.
You didn't choose burnout. It developed gradually through years of sustained overload, chronic stress, and a culture that rewards exhaustion over recovery. The signs were there, but they were easy to dismiss as "just a rough patch."
Burnout progresses through five distinct stages, from early warning signs to critical depletion. Most people don't recognise where they are until Stage 3 or beyond. Understanding your current stage is the first step toward recovery.
From chaos to clarity. The transformation is possible.
The A.R.C. Protocol™
Awareness. Regulation. Catalyze.
A proprietary, three-phase framework designed to take you from burnout to breakthrough. Not a quick fix, but a systematic, evidence-based protocol that rewires your relationship with stress at the neurological level.
The protocol addresses the three interconnected systems that keep burnout locked in place: your nervous system, your cognitive patterns, and the structural design of your daily life. Each phase builds on the last, creating lasting change rather than temporary relief.
Awareness
Understand where you are
Through structured assessment and deep self-inquiry, we map the exact landscape of your burnout. Using the Life Wheel, Logical Levels Model, and the Gleicher Formula, we identify not just what's broken, but why.
Regulation
Reset your nervous system
Grounded in Polyvagal Theory and somatic practices, you learn to shift your nervous system from survival mode to safety. Breathwork, grounding techniques, and cognitive reframing become your daily tools for recalibration.
Catalyze
Build lasting resilience
Recovery isn't the destination. It's the launchpad. Using the Van Knoster framework and Atomic Habits principles, we architect a structurally resilient life that prevents relapse and fuels sustainable high performance.
How we work
together

What clients say about
working with Kevin
"It's rare that you come across a standout talent like Kevin. What makes his A.R.C. Protocol different is the diagnostic approach. Kevin doesn't jump straight into solutions. He first maps out what was actually causing the drain. If you're a high performer who's tried the usual 'fixes' without results, the service he provides is in a completely different league."
