Mariana Amat
Psychologist
I work with perfectionism as more than a behavioral pattern, exploring the deeper fears and self-demands that drive it. Together, we aim to soften rigid standards, reduce self-criticism, and develop a more sustainable and compassionate way of relating to achievement and self-worth.

Headline: When "Doing it All" Still Feels Like Falling Behind
The Burden of Being "The Best"
To the world, you have it together. You are the high-achiever, the reliable one, the one who doesn't miss a detail. But internally, the "inner critic" is never satisfied. Whether it’s at work, in your relationships, or in your own self-image, you feel like you are one mistake away from being "exposed." This relentless drive for perfection isn't just a habit—it’s a survival strategy that has left you burnt out and disconnected.
My Approach: From Performance to Presence
In my private-pay practice, we don't just "talk" about your stress. We work to dismantle the rigid rules that keep you stuck. I help high-achieving perfectionists move from a life of constant performance to one of authentic presence. Using an integrated approach, we will:
Neutralize the Inner Critic: Learn to hear the perfectionist voice without letting it drive your decisions.
Embrace "Good Enough": Build the psychological flexibility to prioritize your well-being over an impossible standard.
Reconnect with Values: Pivot your energy away from external validation and toward the things that actually bring you fulfillment.

I help high-achieving individuals break free from perfectionism and the constant pressure to “get it right.” Therapy focuses on softening self-criticism, addressing underlying fears, and building a more sustainable, self-compassionate way of being.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons)
Perfectionism can become a highly effective way of staying productive, responsible and in control while leaving little room for one's own needs. I use IFS-informed work to explore the protective parts behind people-pleasing, over-functioning and unrelenting standards, particularly when these patterns contribute to burnout, anxiety or relationship strain.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Perfectionism often masquerades as high standards, but underneath it’s usually a fear-driven strategy for avoiding shame or criticism. I help clients trace where that pattern was learned and separate genuine excellence from the exhausting, anxious version that never feels like enough.
