You’re smart, capable, and outwardly holding it all together - but inside, things feel increasingly unsustainable.
You’ve hit a point where stress, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion are no longer manageable with your usual coping strategies.
This isn’t about needing “more self-care.”
It’s about interrupting deeply ingrained patterns before they take a long-term toll.

Hi, I’m Dr Claire Plumbly,
Dr Claire Plumbly is a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience helping high-functioning professionals recover from burnout, anxiety, and trauma.
Her approach combines depth psychology, EMDR, and nervous system regulation to deliver transformative outcomes - efficiently and compassionately.
You’re functioning — but are you really okay?
If you’re snapping at small things, fantasising about disappearing, or constantly running on empty, you’re not failing — you’re burning out.
In Burnout: How to manage your nervous system before it manages you, Dr Claire Plumbly breaks down why high-functioning people crash, how your nervous system plays a hidden role, and what actually works to come back from the edge.
Backed by clinical insight. Grounded in real life.
