You know that feeling
of being capable but empty?
This is what I work on. And this is the tool I built to help people understand it.
I'm Kasia Biernacka — organisational psychologist and leadership coach. Over 20 years I've worked with high-achieving professionals who function well on the outside, but feel mentally overloaded, exhausted, and unable to fully reset inside.
This page explains what I do — and introduces the tool I created to help people understand why they're stuck and what to do first. Feel free to share it with anyone you think might need it.
A diagnostic, not a quiz.
Precision, not generalities.
The Energy Drain Diagnostic™ is an online tool that analyses how you function across four key areas and generates a personalised report — unique to your combination of answers, delivered to your inbox within minutes of completing it.
-
Pinpoints your dominant energy drain — not "stress in general", but the specific mechanism that operates in you every day
-
Explains why rest doesn't restore you — and why pushing harder only makes it worse
-
Gives you a concrete first step — tailored to your profile, not a generic list of habits
-
Stays with you as a reference point — a map you can return to whenever you feel overloaded again
What you receive — immediately after completing it
No waiting. Your personalised report arrives by email within minutes.

What the report actually looks like
Each report is generated specifically for you — based on your answers across the 4 dimensions of the LOAD Model™. There are 15 distinct profiles.
A neuroscience-informed recalibration —
not talk therapy, not mindset work
This work is grounded in how the brain, nervous system, and decision-making systems actually function under sustained pressure. Most high-functioning people don't struggle because they lack insight or motivation. They struggle because their mental load, stress physiology, and emotional regulation systems are stuck in overdrive. This program focuses on changing how your system operates — not just how you think about your life.
Science-based, not mindset work
Neuroscience and applied psychology — understanding the actual mechanisms behind your patterns, not reframing them
Built for high-pressure environments
Years of experience inside corporate environments where performance, pressure, and responsibility never switch off
Real-life constraints respected
Work, family, responsibility — this doesn't tell you to slow down. It shows you how to function better under the same load
Leadership and organisational dynamics
Deep understanding of how pressure operates in organisations — not just individual psychology, but how systems affect people
The four dimensions of the LOAD Model™
The diagnostic measures each of these four areas — and identifies which one is your dominant drain, and how the others interact with it.
Cognitive load
How your brain processes, holds, and releases information. Overthinking, decision fatigue, and mental noise are mechanisms — not personality flaws.
Stress physiology
Chronic pressure changes how your body produces and uses energy. We address the biological patterns that keep you tired even when you "rest."
Emotional regulation
Not emotional suppression. Not "positive thinking." But restoring emotional steadiness so reactions don't hijack your day.
Decision patterns under pressure
How you think, decide, and lead when the stakes are high — without constant second-guessing or internal tension.
Real results. Real people.

Why I built this tool
I'm Kasia Biernacka — organisational psychologist, leadership coach, and founder of Growth Harbour. Over 20 years I've worked with hundreds of high-achieving professionals who appeared to have everything under control — while quietly running on empty inside.
I saw the same pattern over and over: it wasn't lack of willpower or poor habits. It was a nervous system locked in survival mode, with no map out.
The Energy Drain Diagnostic™ is my answer to that. Built on the LOAD Model™ — a framework I developed from two decades of practice at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and leadership.
