Our team offers several evidence-based approaches, with the most suitable therapy depending on your individual needs and experiences.
⭐ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing):
An evidence-based therapy that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce the distress associated with them.

Helps people manage difficult thoughts and feelings, develop psychological flexibility and take steps towards what matters most to them.

Helps people manage self-criticism, shame and difficult emotions by developing a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

A structured, evidence-based approach that helps people understand and address unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Trauma-Focused CBT is specifically adapted to address difficulties associated with traumatic experiences.

Psychological support that recognises and accommodates individual differences, whether diagnosed or self-identified.
⭐ Online EMDR Intensives (or in-person, Taunton), supporting recovery from trauma and PTSD through concentrated treatment sessions.
How Therapy Works at Plum Psychology
We know that finding the right psychological support can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already struggling. We aim to make the process as straightforward as possible, so you know what to expect.
1. Get in Touch
Complete our enquiry form or contact us by phone.
Your enquiry will be reviewed personally by our lead clinical psychologist, who takes time to understand your situation and what support you need.
2. Hear From Our Team
Our client coordinator, Claire Jackson, aims to respond to your enquiry within one working day to discuss the recommendation from our team lead.
3. Arrange a Free 15-Minute Call
If you're happy with the recommendation, Claire will arrange a free 15-minute call with the psychologist.
This gives you an opportunity to discuss your difficulties, ask questions and decide whether the recommended therapist feels like the right fit.
4. Begin Your Therapy
We aim to offer a therapy start date as soon as possible, usually within 1–2 weeks.
Your first 2–3 sessions will usually focus on understanding your difficulties and background before you and your psychologist agree on a treatment plan.
Whether you're receiving support for anxiety, burnout or online trauma therapy, your sessions will focus on your individual needs and what you would like to achieve.
Unlike large therapy companies, you won't be passed around or left waiting.
EMDR Intensives
A Unique Option for Fast, Focused Progress With a Trauma Psychologist
Our 2–3 day EMDR Intensives are ideal for those who want to see improvement in days, not months.
This accelerated format is still relatively rare in the UK, and our team of trauma therapists are specially trained to deliver it safely, effectively and with the depth required for significant change.
Intensives are structured, immersive and highly effective for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), recovery from traumatic events, anxiety and burnout patterns rooted in past experiences. By working in concentrated blocks with your therapist, you can reach your goals more quickly.
Ideal for: Busy professionals who want faster relief from symptoms and who can set aside a few focused days to prioritise this.
Dr Claire Plumbly, Founder of Plum Psychology
Hi, I’m Claire,
I founded Plum Psychology after learning first hand how overwhelming it can feel to look for the right support when you're already overwhelmed, researching therapists, comparing approaches, trying to work out who to trust, all whilst running on empty.
Plum Psychology grew out of that realisation. I wanted to create a specialist therapy service where every enquiry is treated with care, and where individuals don't have to guess whether they're in safe hands.
Building a highly skilled, experienced team was a big part of that. Therapists who really understand burnout, anxiety and complex trauma, and who know how to support high-functioning people who have both busy lives and complex pressures.
If you're capable, committed and carrying too much on your own, please know that you don't need to navigate it by yourself any more. You deserve high-quality, thoughtful support that helps you feel seen, understood and gives you back control.

You're Functioning, but Are You Really Okay?
If you're snapping at small things, fantasising about disappearing and sliding through the day on autopilot, you're not failing...
In Burnout: How To Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You, Dr Claire Plumbly breaks down why you're stuck here, how your nervous system plays a hidden role, and what actually works to come back from the edge.
Written from her many years of work in the therapy room.
