When clients arrive overwhelmed, exhausted or still pushing themselves too hard, it can take significant energy to bring structure to therapy and decide where to start.

 
 This toolkit helps you do that faster.

It brings together practical resources for burnout, including formulation tools, psychoeducation, assessments and client worksheets.
 
Designed for therapists working with
burnout, stress-related dysregulation and over-functioning, the resources provide a flexible framework that you can integrate into your existing practice.
 
Whether you work with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), ACT, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), EMDR, integrative approaches or mindfulness-based practice, the burnout toolkit helps you organise complexity without forcing you into a rigid model.
 

Whether your background is CBT, ACT, CFT, EMDR, integrative, or mindfulness-based practice, the toolkit helps you organise complexity without forcing you into a rigid model.

What This Burnout Toolkit Helps You Do

Help clients move from:
 “I’m a failure” or
“I don’t know where to start”


to
“I can see the patterns keeping me stuck” and

“I can see light at the end of the tunnel” 
 

USE IT TO

identify burnout-maintaining cycles
reduce session drift
improve psychoeducation
support collaborative formulation
create clearer recovery plans 

WITHOUT

reinventing formulations from scratch
over-preparing between sessions
relying on generic stress handouts
losing therapeutic focus in overwhelmed sessions

5 Reasons Therapists Choose the Burnout Toolkit

Increased Confidence

Burnout presentations are often complex. The toolkit organises information so you can select relevant evidence-based techniques with greater confidence and clarity.

Greater Client Insight

Clients often feel ashamed that they are “not coping”. Visual formulations help externalise patterns and reduce self-blame.

Clearer Session Focus

The tools provide gentle structure when conversations feel problem-saturated or stuck.

Professional Presentation

Carefully designed fillable and printable PDFs can be used in person or online, helping clients feel supported within a clear and coherent process.

Time Saved
 

Spend less time searching for psychoeducation and handouts for each burnout case. The resources were written by a fellow mental health professional.

Designed by a Practicing Clinical Psychologist

Plumbly080724-7126.jpg

This has been designed and created by Dr Claire Plumbly, a clinical psychologist specialising in burnout, trauma and anxiety, and author of Burnout: How To Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You.

 

Claire developed the resources for her one-to-one clinical work after struggling to find suitable psychology tools elsewhere. They draw on her clinical practice and research into psychological approaches to burnout, with references included.
 
It helps therapists feel more confident when working with burnt-out clients. Its structured, carefully designed handouts can also help clients feel understood and supported.
