Perfectionism
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.

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
Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
Perfectionism can leave you feeling like nothing you do is ever quite good enough. You might put pressure on yourself to get everything right, struggle to make mistakes, or find it difficult to rest without feeling guilty. My approach draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to help you process the experiences and emotions that contribute to these patterns. Together, we can work toward loosening the grip of self-criticism and fear of failure.

Perfectionism
Abby Tait
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Perfectionism often looks like high standards and hard work from the outside, but on the inside it can feel like never being able to rest. You might hold yourself to expectations no one else would, replay small mistakes, or feel that your worth depends on getting things right. Over time, that pressure can lead to anxiety, burnout, and a harsh inner critic that’s hard to quiet. I work with women who want to move beyond survival mode and reconnect with a more grounded, compassionate relationship with themselves. Drawing on attachment and psychodynamic-informed approaches alongside Compassion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), we’ll explore where these patterns come from and practise ways of meeting yourself with more kindness and flexibility.

Perfectionism
Natalie V. Bochenska
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Perfectionism can leave you feeling that nothing you do is ever good enough, even when you're accomplishing everything expected of you. I help clients explore the fears, early experiences, and internal expectations that drive constant self-criticism and pressure to perform. Together, we work toward developing self-compassion, greater flexibility, and a sense of worth that isn't dependent on achievement.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Tanya Master | Online Somatic & Psychosomatic Consulting
Life Coach, Psychosomatic Consultant · Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in Training
Perfectionism often develops as a protective strategy rather than a personality trait. My approach explores the underlying nervous system patterns that drive overachievement, self-criticism, and chronic pressure.

Perfectionism
Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Perfectionism can look like high standards and responsibility on the outside, while internally bringing pressure, self-criticism, overthinking, procrastination, or a persistent sense that what you do is never quite enough. You may find it difficult to rest, make mistakes, disappoint others, or feel satisfied with your accomplishments. I help clients explore what perfectionism is protecting and how it may be connected to belonging, approval, safety, or self-worth. Through mindfulness, relational awareness, and compassionate curiosity, we can loosen rigid expectations and build a more flexible, trusting relationship with yourself—without giving up the parts of you that care deeply about doing things well.
