Effective Therapy for High-Functioning Professionals

Get straight to the root of burnout, anxiety, or trauma with focused, psychological support - designed for people who want to feel better, now. 

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.
I’m Dr Claire Plumbly, a clinical psychologist specialising in intensive trauma and burnout recovery for professionals who need deep, lasting change - delivered with clarity, efficiency, and psychological depth.

"Claire is a fantastic, professional and compassionate therapist who showed me both how to fight my demons and, most importantly how to love myself. She has a non judgemental, warm and friendly manner."

(Trauma causing OCD)

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.
