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.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Perfectionism can leave you feeling like nothing you do is ever good enough, driving anxiety, self criticism, procrastination, and constant pressure to meet impossible standards. Together, we'll explore the beliefs and patterns that fuel perfectionism, build self compassion, and develop healthier ways of measuring your worth that aren't based on achievement alone. My goal is to help you let go of unrealistic expectations so you can feel more confident, balanced, and free to enjoy your life.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards; it is often a protective part of the system trying to prevent criticism, rejection, or a sense of failure. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you understand the 'internal critic' that keeps you in a cycle of relentless striving and exhaustion.
We move beyond 'letting go' to exploring the early survival strategies that made being perfect feel like a necessity. By healing the underlying vulnerabilities that this part is trying to shield, we work to replace the weight of perfectionism with a grounded sense of self-worth and the freedom to be authentically yourself—without the constant pressure of 'never being enough.

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.
