Patrizia Rizzo

I earned my Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Zurich and am a certified emergency psychologist (NNPN) with the Swiss Professional Association for Applied Psychology (SBAP). I bring many years of hands-on professional experience across various industries, as well as extensive leadership experience. Among other roles, I was responsible for the operational management of an international provider of external employee counseling services. As an internationally recognized expert in mental health, I have supported organizations, teams, and individuals in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, and Italy. I have over 20 years of practical experience in a range of areas, including employee counseling, prevention of stress-related disorders, crisis and conflict management, change management, and leadership and team development, and I serve as a featured speaker at national and international conferences.

I help executives, companies, and individual employees navigate complex situations arising from stress, anxiety, crises, and conflicts. I help my clients strengthen their leadership skills and build strong, collaborative organizational structures, leading to healthier organizations. It is important to me to create an environment in which every individual feels supported and empowered to thrive both professionally and personally.
