Key philosophy
“Wellbeing and performance are not opposites, they’re partners in long-term success.”
The specialism
Perfectionism at work.
Perfectionism and high performance live in the same people, and professional services firms are full of both. It is the specialism at the heart of The Performance Club, grounded in Stacy Thomson’s own MSc research on perfectionism, uncertainty, fear of judgement and distress in 162 working professionals.
Questions
About The Performance Club.
What is The Performance Club?

Who founded The Performance Club?
Stacy Thomson, a Registered Mental Health Nurse with 25+ years in mental health and an MSc in Occupational Psychology from Goldsmiths, University of London. Her MSc research studied perfectionism and psychological distress in working professionals.
What does The Performance Club specialise in?
Perfectionism in the workplace: where high standards drive excellent work, and where they turn into anxiety, procrastination and burnout. The Performance Club also works on resilience, burnout, imposter syndrome, managing emotions, communication and mental health awareness.
Who does The Performance Club work with?
Organisations of every size, from leading law firms and other professional services firms to smaller businesses without an in-house HR function. Work is commissioned by employers for their people.
What makes The Performance Club different from a wellbeing provider?
Its training is led by someone who is both a mental health clinician and a business psychologist, and draws on research rather than general wellness advice. The focus is practical: tools people can use at work, and changes organisations can make, so that wellbeing and performance support each other.
Where does The Performance Club work?
Across the UK and internationally, in person and online. The Performance Club is based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
Does The Performance Club offer free resources?
Yes. A free library of guides, workbooks and worksheets for employees, managers and HR is available at theperformanceclub.co/resources, each readable online and downloadable as a PDF.
