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.

Perfectionism can leave you feeling like nothing you do is ever good enough. The constant pressure to meet impossible standards can lead to anxiety, stress, procrastination, self-criticism, burnout, and low self-esteem. Instead of helping you succeed, perfectionism often keeps you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. At Trickett Psychotherapy & Counselling, we help adults understand the root causes of perfectionism, develop self-compassion, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and build healthier, more balanced ways of approaching life. We offer therapy for perfectionism in Guelph and secure online therapy across Ontario. Contact us today to book your consultation and start freeing yourself from the pressure to be perfect.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Melissa Kaylee De Pace
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), CNP, M.A
Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside, while internally it can feel like relentless pressure to get things right, avoid disappointing others, and never let yourself fall short. For many people, perfectionism can develop as a learned way of protecting themselves, if I perform well, stay in control, or avoid mistakes, I can avoid criticism, rejection, failure, or the feeling that I’m not enough. Over time, what once helped you cope can become exhausting.
Together, we’ll explore where these expectations came from and what your perfectionism may be trying to protect, while working to separate your worth from your performance. The goal isn’t to lower your standards or stop caring, it’s to help you pursue what matters without fear, self-criticism, and the pressure to be perfect running the show.
