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.

Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I’m highly experienced in working with perfectionism and the ways it can quietly take over. Together we explore what is underneath it—often fear, pressure, or a sense that you have to get things “just right” to be okay. This work isn’t about lowering your goals, but about softening the pressure and rigidity that can make life feel exhausting.

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.
