Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Perfectionism can show up as feeling never quite good enough, fear of making mistakes, difficulty resting, overthinking decisions, or carrying pressure to be constantly improving, performing, or meeting very high expectations. You may feel exhausted by trying to get everything right, struggling with self-criticism, or feeling anxious when things are out of control. I work somatically, trauma-informed, with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field, to help release the deeper roots of perfectionistic patterns. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports you in deeper understanding of your patterns, feeling safer in your body, more connected to your Self, and more.

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.

Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It is incredibly common to trick yourself into believing that perfectionism is the secret to your success—that if you let go of that relentless internal pressure, you will completely lose your drive. In reality, that pressure traps you in an exhausting cycle where every task, email, or interaction feels like a high-stakes test of your fundamental value as a person. This doesn't just drive achievement; it drives intense burnout, chronic procrastination, and a deeply fried nervous system. Our work together is not about forcing you to abandon your high standards. Instead, we are going to untangle those standards from your self-worth. We will challenge the rigid, all-or-nothing thought patterns that keep you paralyzed, and help you build a much more sustainable way to pursue your goals. You can absolutely remain ambitious and driven while also experiencing genuine inner peace—and maybe even finding some fun in the messy imperfections of life.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I offer a straightforward, empathetic space to work with perfectionism—those high standards, self-criticism, and fear of failure that keep you stuck. We’ll explore the roots of those patterns, practice realistic goal-setting and self-compassion, and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety and procrastination. I’ll support you in shifting from constant pressure to sustainable excellence and greater ease in daily life.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Perfectionism can often look like holding yourself to high standards, but underneath it may feel like pressure, self-criticism, and a fear of making mistakes or not being “good enough.” You might notice difficulty slowing down, overthinking decisions, or feeling like your worth is tied to achievement, productivity, or how well you perform. While perfectionism can sometimes feel motivating, it often comes with anxiety, burnout, and a constant sense that things could fall apart.
In our work together, we’ll explore the underlying experiences and beliefs that have shaped these patterns of perfectionism, with a focus on understanding rather than self-judgment. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll work with the cognitive, emotional and nervous system aspects of perfectionism, helping you create more flexibility, self-compassion, and balance. The aim is to help you feel safer being imperfect and more connected to your own internal sense of worth.
I draw from approaches such as ACT, IFS, Mindfulness-Based CBT, EMDR, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll build practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and self-criticism while also supporting deeper healing and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
