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.

The synergies between personal, relational and organisational psychology

Burnout, stress or a certain fatigue, either in general, or in certain situations or relations are often very complex and entangled phenomena. The feeling of not being our best anymore, when the energy and joy are fading, or communication and working together have become too draining and too difficult, it gets complicated. It is not always clear, either where these complications come from nor how to deal with them. It is just in the way.

Entangling, understanding and getting better matter hugely. We have one life to live. It is important not to wait too long, before things take on a life of their own.

My counseling and coaching experiences with couples, individuals, managers and leaders in over 20 years combined with my research on burnout prevention for people working in international organisations have helped me to assemble a deeper knowledge of the complexities of human relations, with ourselves and others. This experience combined with a toolbox of cutting edge research and science from neuroscience, personal, relational psychology and organisational psychology are at the core of working together effectively.

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

Counseling 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
  • 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
  • Couples work draws on Imago relationship therapy

“I walked into Marit’s office hoping to save my marriage. I walked out not only with my family intact but with a whole new set of skills that changed everything.”

William T.

“She created an environment where I felt comfortable being vulnerable and honest, without fear of judgement or criticism.”

Managers & Leaders

Training for managers and leaders: preventing and addressing burnout

Burnout in international organisations and multicultural teams is on the rise. I support organisations to see where the risk sits and build programmes that fit their culture and operations.

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

  1. A first conversation. You describe what you are seeing; I tell you honestly whether I can help.
  2. Diagnosis. Interviews, short surveys or a review of existing data, reported in aggregate only.
  3. Programme design. A tailored plan built around your culture, calendar and constraints.
  4. Delivery. Workshops, leader coaching and team sessions, in English or German, on site or online.
  5. 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 MSc thesis, Burnout in International Organisations: The Impact of Work Environment, Gender, Personal and Organisational Predictors (2025), surveyed professionals in international organisations. 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, in other words, is fundamentally relational: leadership, psychological safety and connection matter.
