Perfectionism
Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Perfectionism often disguises itself as high standards, but beneath it is usually fear—fear of making a mistake, being judged, or not being enough. It can leave you overthinking, procrastinating, and waiting for the "right" time, the perfect plan, or one more revision before taking action. The truth is, there is rarely a perfect moment. Waiting for certainty can keep you from the very opportunities that help you grow.
Together, we'll explore the beliefs that fuel perfectionism, learn to quiet your inner critic, and build the confidence to move forward before everything feels perfectly in place. Growth isn't found in getting everything right—it's found in having the courage to begin.

Perfectionism
Peter Klein
Therapist, BABCP Accredited, BACP Registered Member
I work with people whose perfectionism contributes to anxiety, stress, procrastination, self-criticism or feeling never good enough. Therapy focuses on developing healthier standards, greater self-compassion and a more balanced approach to achievement.

Perfectionism
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Perfectionism is not really about high standards. It is about safety. Somewhere along the way, the subconscious decided that being good enough, being beyond criticism or being in complete control was the way to be safe and accepted. That decision then becomes a daily tax: overworking, second-guessing, never quite arriving. RTT goes back to the moment that decision was made and updates the meaning underneath it. The standards can stay. What changes is the price you pay to meet them. Most of my perfectionist clients are women in leadership, founders or creatives. The work is online via Zoom and confidential.
