Restore Yourself

Tap into your body's wisdom with burnout coaching

Beneath exhaustion

Burnout starts where you'd least expect: in enthusiasm. The ones who burn out are usually the ones who cared most. The early stages even look like dedication: answering emails at eleven, cancelling on friends for a deadline, being quietly proud of running on less sleep than everyone else. Then the same job that lit you up starts to leave you drained, cynical, and second-guessing work you used to do with your eyes closed.

This is where our work begins. We explore what's driving your exhaustion, then build your recovery around the way you handle stress, in both mind and body.

FAQs

What is burnout coaching and who is it for?

Burnout coaching is a specialised form of coaching focused on recovering from emotional and physical exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It’s ideal for professionals who feel constantly drained, disengaged, or overwhelmed, no matter how much rest they get.

How do I know if I’m truly burned out?

Signs include chronic fatigue, feeling detached or cynical about your work, reduced effectiveness, trouble concentrating, irritability, and insomnia. These are often rooted in both overloading externally and feeling undernourished internally.

How fast can I recover with burnout coaching?

Recovery timelines depend on burnout severity and your commitment. Typically, noticeable improvements emerge within 3–6 months, and full recovery may take longer, from six months to over a year

Is burnout coaching covered by insurance or corporate benefits?

Swiss basic health insurance doesn't cover coaching, though some supplementary plans contribute to prevention offers, so it's worth asking your insurer. The more common route is through your employer's wellbeing or development budget.

Is burnout coaching safe to combine with therapy?

Yes, burnout coaching complements therapy rather than replaces it. Coaching focuses on stress recovery, resilience, and behaviour change; therapy addresses deeper mental health needs like anxiety or trauma . I always refer clients to licensed therapists if underlying clinical issues emerge.

How is burnout coaching different from life or career coaching?

Burnout coaching is focused on stress management, recovery, and resilience. We will work with emotional exhaustion, self-care, boundaries, and mindset reframing as core areas.
