Your Coachee feels stressed out as too many things to handle in parallel and can’t think clearly what to focus on.

The Eisenhower Matrix, also referred to as Urgent-Important (UI) Matrix, will help your Coachee decide on and prioritize tasks by urgency and importance, sorting out less urgent and important tasks which he/she should either delegate or not do at all.
Ask your Coachee to list his/her tasks positioning them in the matrix below. Analyse where most tasks are, then for each quadrant, do as mentioned:

The Box breathing, also known as square breathing, is a technique used when taking slow, deep breaths. It is a very effective powerful stress reliever and can heighten performance and concentration. It’s also called four-square breathing.
Tell your coachee to: "Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply by the nose for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, breathe out by the mouth for 4 seconds, hold it." [Repeat].

Self-care is the number one priority when feeling overwhelmed. The Wheel of Happiness is an introspective tool to help the coachee visualise all the important levers of happiness in his/her life: gratitude, sleep, nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, acts of kindness, social connections, learn and explore. This helicopter view allows to shift priorities if need be.
Ask your Coachee to draw his/her wheel of happiness grading for each area, the happiness level today and the targeted level. Analyse which areas have the biggest gaps between the 2 levels (today vs targeted) and reasons why.
