When clients arrive exhausted, overwhelmed, and unable to make sense of what’s happening to them, it can take significant clinical energy to create structure from the chaos.
This toolkit helps you do that faster.
Designed for therapists working with burnout, stress-related exhaustion, nervous system dysregulation, perfectionism, and over-functioning, these tools provide a flexible formulation framework you can integrate into the way you already work.
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 Toolkit Includes
01
The Burnout
Blueprint
A fillable formulation tool for use in sessions and support your case conceptualization.
02
Burnout Psychoeducation Pack

1) A video
2) An information sheet
03
The Recovery Foundations Assessment
A self-assessment of the key foundations to good wellbeing to complete with clients – these highlights areas where self-care is currently neglected to support your area of focus.
04
The Burnout Signals Tracker
A fillable PDF to help clients recognize their stress red-flags to prevent relapse.
05
A Values Meaning and Mapping Tool
Prompts to help clients reconnect to their ‘why’ in relation to work, and help them explore the tricky questions around whether this work is still right for them, and how to find balance across all their domains of living.
06
The Sustainable Boundaries Framework
Identify which of the main boundary-types have been eroded, work out which to help them focus on, including scripts to practice and skill-up on.
What This Toolkit Helps You Do
Help clients move from:
“I’m just failing at coping”
or
“I don’t know where to start”
to
“I can see the patterns keeping me stuck.”
And “I feel confident we have a path through this”
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
Built to Work Alongside Your Existing Modality
This is not a manualised burnout protocol.
It’s a flexible clinical framework designed to integrate with how you already practise.
Examples Across Modalities:
CBT
Map behavioural, cognitive, and physiological burnout cycles, including over-working, avoidance, guilt, and exhaustion.
ACT
Explore fusion with productivity-based identity, experiential avoidance, and movement toward sustainable values.
CFT
Visualise threat, drive, and soothing system imbalance, alongside self-criticism and depletion.
Mindfulness & Somatic Approaches
Support interoceptive awareness, pacing, and early recognition of depletion signals.
EMDR & Trauma-Informed Work
Identify the overlap between burnout, chronic stress activation, trauma responses, and protective adaptations.
Why Therapists Are Choosing This Toolkit
Reduce Cognitive Load
Burnout presentations are often diffuse, emotionally heavy, and difficult to structure in real time. The toolkit helps organise information quickly so you can stay present with the client.
Increase Client Insight
Clients often feel shame about “not coping.” Visual formulations help externalise patterns and reduce self-blame.
Improve Session Focus
The tools provide gentle structure when sessions risk becoming repetitive, circular, or overly problem-saturated.
Enhance Professional Presentation
Beautifully designed fillable PDFs you can use in-person or online, helping clients feel held within a thoughtful, coherent process.
Save Time
Spend less energy creating formulations and psychoeducation materials from scratch for every burnout case.

Designed for Real Clinical Practice
This has been designed and created by Dr Claire Plumbly, a Clinical Psychologist specialising in burnout, trauma, anxiety, and author on this topic.
Claire developed these tools to support her 1-to-1 therapy work when she couldn’t find quite what she was looking for available elsewhere. All of the tools are backed by the research into the most helpful psychological approaches for burnout – see the references below.
They are designed to help therapists hold complexity with greater clarity, consistency, and confidence.
