Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
I support individuals who struggle with perfectionism. Are you someone who feels constant pressure to get everything right, fear making mistakes, or never feel “good enough"? While perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside, it often comes with stress, self-criticism, and exhaustion.
In our work together, we gently explore the patterns behind perfectionism and help you build more self-compassion, flexibility, and balance.

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.

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.

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.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Perfectionism can feel like a constant push to meet impossibly high standards, often leaving you stressed, critical of yourself, or afraid of making mistakes. It can affect work, relationships, and overall wellbeing, creating a sense of pressure that never truly goes away.
In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore these patterns, understand the underlying fears or beliefs, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and your goals. Together, we work on building self-compassion, realistic expectations, and confidence, helping you achieve growth without being weighed down by perfection.

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.

Infinite Horizons Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MCP, CCS, RP
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to perform and fear of making mistakes. While it may drive achievement, it often comes at the cost of well-being. We help you understand the roots of perfectionism and how it shows up in your life. Therapy focuses on building self-compassion and more flexible, sustainable ways of living.

Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Perfectionism can feel like an endless treadmill—a constant pressure to do more, be more, and never make a mistake. While it might look like high achievement from the outside, on the inside, it often feels like exhaustion, chronic self-doubt, and a fear that if you slow down, the "truth" of your inadequacy will be revealed. In our work, we look beyond the surface of your to-do list to unpack the profound impact perfectionism has had on your mental health and self-worth.
I use a deeply compassionate and relational approach to help you understand the roots of this pressure. We can incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to target and process the traumas or early life experiences where you first learned that your value was tied to your performance. By weaving in IFS and psychodynamic insights, we’ll work to soften the voice of the inner critic and unburden the parts of you that feel "not enough." My goal is to help you trade the crushing weight of perfection for a life of genuine self-compassion, where you are free to be human, messy, and whole.

Maddie Serhal - Limitless Living Psychotherapy
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.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Perfectionism is often about far more than having high standards. It can be deeply connected to trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, self-worth, fear of failure, people-pleasing, or the painful belief that mistakes somehow make you less worthy.
For many people, perfectionism is not really about excellence — it is about protection. Protection from shame, criticism, rejection, or feeling like you are not enough.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you understand what perfectionism may actually be trying to protect you from. Together, we work to reduce shame, challenge exhausting patterns, build self-trust, and create more flexible, realistic ways of living that do not require you to constantly prove your worth.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Perfectionism tends to look like high standards from the outside and feel like not-enough from the inside. It's exhausting to live in, and it usually has a longer history than just wanting to do well. I work with clients on what's underneath the drive, the fear, the self-criticism that shows up before the work is even done.
