Claire Plumbly

Dr Claire Plumbly is a UK-based, HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Consultant. She has spent over two decades helping people recover from burnout, trauma and anxiety, working across both the NHS and private practice.

Claire is the author of Burnout: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You (published in the US as The Trauma of Burnout), praised by fellow psychologists including Dr Julie Smith and Dr Naomi Fisher as an essential, evidence-based guide for anyone who is “still functioning” but quietly struggling. Her approach integrates EMDR, trauma-informed practice, Polyvagal Theory and Compassion-Focused Therapy, translating complex nervous-system science into practical, compassionate tools that people can use straight away.

Claire has delivered keynotes to conference audiences and is a regular voice in the media on stress, resilience and burnout recovery
