Perfectionism can look like high standards, overthinking, procrastination, people-pleasing, or fear of making mistakes. Therapy can help you loosen the grip of perfectionism and move toward more flexible, values-based action.

Rebekah Wright
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Perfectionism often develops in high-performing individuals and can be both a strength and a source of distress. While it may drive achievement, it can also lead to burnout, isolation, and strain in relationships. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing more sustainable ways of functioning.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, MC, BSc
Perfectionism can have such a huge impact on your life, making it hard to try things, staying in your comfort zone, and being very hard on yourself. Together, we can work to explore the roots of perfectionism, what it's trying to teach you, and what wisdom you'd like to keep and what relationships to perfectionism you might want to shed.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Perfectionism is not really about high standards. It is about safety. Somewhere along the way, the subconscious decided that being good enough, being beyond criticism or being in complete control was the way to be safe and accepted. That decision then becomes a daily tax: overworking, second-guessing, never quite arriving. RTT goes back to the moment that decision was made and updates the meaning underneath it. The standards can stay. What changes is the price you pay to meet them. Most of my perfectionist clients are women in leadership, founders or creatives. The work is online via Zoom and confidential.

Amanda Stokes
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, E-RYT 500
Perfectionism is a common sub personality born out of a survival need to keep ourselves safe and loved by our caregivers. It is almost always rooted in the underlying feelings of shame and negative core beliefs. Through IFS and Inner Child work, I find working with perfectionism is quite possible and can lead us back to a place of self-compassion and recognizing that you are 'enough' just as you are -without the over functioning.

Krishna Vora
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Perfectionism often develops from a desire to succeed, be accepted, or avoid criticism. Over time, however, it can lead to chronic stress, self-doubt, procrastination, and difficulty feeling satisfied with achievements.
Therapy focuses on understanding the roots of perfectionistic thinking and learning ways to shift rigid expectations. By developing self-compassion and flexible thinking patterns, individuals can maintain high standards while reducing the pressure that leads to burnout.

Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
Perfectionism can feel like constant pressure: to get it right, to not make mistakes, to meet expectations that may not even feel like your own. In our work together, we bring curiosity about your unique lived experience to exploring how perfectionism shows up in your thoughts, body, and relationships. We might gently ask: Who are you being perfect for? By whose standards? What do you imagine might happen if you made a mistake? How were mistakes handled in your home growing up? Rather than treating perfectionism as a personal flaw, we can understand it as a relational, contextual response to a situation/dynamic, a way of organizing/modifying yourself that developed in response to your environment. The existential statement underneath perfectionism could be, “In order to belong in this family, I must never mess up” or “I live my life as if I’ll be invisible/alone/worthless unless I am perfect.” Put in these contexts, perfectionistic strategies are a matter of life and death and basic survival. By slowing down and building awareness around how you got here, we can begin to tease apart these patterns, reconnect with what *you* need and value, and find more flexible, compassionate ways of being with yourself. It’s always a risk being more yourself, and I have huge respect for the ways you’ve learned to keep yourself safe and connected (basic human needs, btw). As we unravel your perfectionistic magnificence, you will likely surprise yourself with the brilliance and creativity that’s been hiding there all along, waiting for the right support to emerge.

Mary D'Agostino
Registered Psychotherapist, RP(Qualifying)
Perfectionism often goes far beyond simply wanting to do well. It can involve intense self-pressure, fear of failure, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, people-pleasing, and feeling like your worth is tied to performance or productivity. Perfectionism is not about being perfect — it is about constantly striving for a level of perfection that is ultimately unattainable for anyone, and the emotional exhaustion that comes from endlessly trying to reach it. In therapy, we work to better understand where these patterns come from, what continues to drive them, and how they may be impacting your relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Together, we focus on building greater self-awareness, flexibility, self-compassion, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to get everything right, leaving little room for rest, ease, or self-compassion. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-criticism, or never feeling quite enough, no matter how much you achieve. Over time, this can become exhausting and disconnect you from what actually matters to you. I offer a steady and supportive space where you can loosen the grip of perfectionism, understand where it comes from, and begin to relate to yourself with more kindness and flexibility. You do not have to keep holding it all alone.

Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
Perfectionism in my clients is rarely about high standards — it's often a survival strategy formed alongside ADHD, neurodivergence, rejection sensitivity, and early caretaking roles. We work to understand what your perfectionism has been protecting you from, rather than just trying to dial it down. Using IFS, EFT, and mindfulness, sessions help you loosen the grip of 'never enough' and build a steadier sense of self that doesn't depend on performance.

Lauren Hone
Registered Psychotherapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist, Yoga teacher
Holding yourself to high standards can look like success on the outside, but often comes with pressure and self-doubt underneath. Therapy helps you understand where that pressure comes from and shift the patterns so you can still care about your goals without feeling constantly weighed down by them.
