Preventing, spotting and addressing burnout
Practical training that builds confidence and effectiveness: how managers and leaders prevent burnout in their teams, recognise the first signs and address them.
Where personal, relational and organisational psychology meet
Burnout, stress and ongoing fatigue rarely have a single cause. They may affect everything, or only certain situations and relationships. Energy and joy fade, and communicating or working together starts to feel draining. Often it is not clear where the difficulty comes from, or how to deal with it. It simply gets in the way.
Untangling it matters. We have one life to live, and it is worth not waiting too long before things take on a life of their own.
For more than 20 years I have counselled and coached individuals, couples, managers and leaders. My research on burnout in international organisations has deepened my understanding of how we relate to ourselves and to others. I combine this experience with current research from neuroscience and from personal, relational and organisational psychology, so that our work together is focused and effective.
The common thread
Confidence follows competence. I help you build the social and relational skills that make a real difference, at home and at work.
Individuals & Couples
Counselling and coaching for professionals and couples navigating demanding careers and relationships, often far from home. We work on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, communication and resilience, so that relationships, at home and at work, become stronger.
What we can work on
- Complex thoughts and emotions
- Symptoms of anxiety and depression
- Emotional intelligence: understanding and handling your own emotions and other people’s
- Personal and professional dynamics
- Communication and conflict resolution
- Mediation between partners, family members or colleagues
How it works
- A first conversation to see whether we fit
- Sessions in Nyon or online, in English or German
- Deeply experienced and trained in a variety of models, so the approach fits you, not the other way around
- My work combines Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Relationship Coaching and a Solution Focused approach

Managers & Leaders
Training for managers and leaders: preventing and addressing burnout
Burnout is on the rise in finance, international cooperation, international organisations and multicultural teams; tailored programmes help managers and leaders see where the risk sits and act in ways that fit their culture and operations.
What leaders and HR teams gain
Current leadership research, in summary, shows something even experienced leaders often underestimate: people-centred leadership is one of the strongest levers for results. The need is pressing: in Europe, only 12% of employees are engaged at work, and managers account for 70% of the difference in how engaged a team is (Gallup, 2026). In Germany, mental illness has become the leading cause of sick days for the first time (DAK, 2026); in the UK, one in five workers took time off last year because of stress (Mental Health UK, 2026); in Switzerland, almost one in three employees is emotionally exhausted (Job-Stress-Index, 2022). Highly engaged teams, by contrast, achieve 23% higher profitability, 78% less absenteeism and up to 51% lower turnover (Gallup, 2024). The decisive lever is emotional intelligence: it protects even highly stressed leaders from burnout, and it can be learned.
Problems you may recognise
- Capable people quietly disengaging, or leaving after a short time
- Rising sick leave or exhaustion that wellbeing initiatives have not changed
- Conflict between teams or cultures that nobody names
- Managers who avoid sensitive conversations because they do not feel safe having them
- Reorganisation or budget cuts landing on people who are already stretched
How we would work together
- A first conversation. You describe what you are seeing; I tell you honestly whether I can help.
- Diagnosis. Interviews, short surveys or a review of existing data, reported in aggregate only.
- Programme design. A tailored plan built around your culture, calendar and constraints.
- Delivery. Workshops, leader coaching and team sessions, in English or German, on site or online.
- Review. What changed, what did not, and what to do next.
Formats: leadership workshops on psychological safety · team sessions on communication and conflict · one-to-one coaching for managers and senior leaders · mediation · talks and keynotes
Research
My research, Burnout in International Organisations: The Impact of Work Environment, Gender, Personal and Organisational Predictors (2025), surveyed 259 professionals in international organisations in Switzerland. Its main findings:
- Self-compassion was the strongest protective factor against burnout.
- Supervisory support and psychological safety predicted lower burnout; loneliness predicted higher burnout.
- Working remotely, hybrid or in the office made no significant difference.
- Women reported significantly higher burnout than men.
Burnout has its roots in biology, neuropsychology and relational patterns. Emotional intelligence is one of the strongest resources against it. Healing and prevention address these levels as each situation needs. The Burnout Self-Test looks at three areas: personal exhaustion, work-related exhaustion and exhaustion from working with people.
With individuals, we look at the whole picture, including physical and biological factors. With leaders and organisations, the focus is on what keeps teams strong and results sustainable.
