What is the difference between a coach and a therapist for burnout?

Coaching is solution- and action-oriented—we work on the present, concrete resources, and objectives. Therapy explores the root causes and physiological dimensions more deeply. The two are complementary. As an ASCA therapist and certified coach, I work with both dimensions depending on your needs.

How many sessions are needed to recover from burnout?

It depends on the severity of the burnout and your individual situation. Generally, clients experience a significant change after 4 to 8 sessions. The free introductory call allows us to assess together what would be best for you.

Are the sessions covered by supplementary insurance?

As an ASCA-certified therapist, some supplementary health insurance plans (LCA) offer partial reimbursement for sessions. Check with your health insurance provider for your specific coverage. The fee is CHF 150 per 60-minute session.

Can I have a session in Geneva, Nyon, or via videoconference?

Yes. The main office is in Nyon. Sessions in Geneva can be arranged by appointment. And video or walking sessions are available throughout French-speaking Switzerland.

Are the sessions in French or English?

Both. Sessions can be conducted in French or English according to your preference — a real advantage in the Geneva market with its large expatriate community.

DO YOU RECOGNISE YOURSELF?

Burnout hits hardest those who give the most

Not the weak. Not the incompetent. Those who truly love what they do — and gave until there was nothing left. What you're going through has a name. And a way out.

▸ Extreme exhaustion that sleep cannot fix

▸ Loss of purpose and motivation at work

▸ Feeling disconnected, running on autopilot

▸ Struggling to complete even the simplest tasks

▸ Collapsing self-esteem

▸ Unusual irritability and cynicism

▸ Sleep issues, appetite changes or physical pain

▸ No idea how to find a way out

Burnout is not a weakness. It's a warning signal. Rest alone is not enough — you need to understand what happened and rebuild on solid ground.

WHY MARCO PAO

Real-world expertise, grounded in theory.

YOUR COACH

Marco Pao

M. Paonessa - Reach Your Goal

In my practice, I work with people experiencing burnout. As an accredited Relaxologist, I address stress and exhaustion at their root.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 25 years in trading floors across Paris, Milan, London and New York. I lived these states from the inside — the pressure, the overload, the disproportionate reactions. I speak from experience, not theory.
