Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns
Perfectionism can look like high standards, but often feels like pressure, fear of failure and never feeling good enough. I support clients to soften self-criticism and build more flexible, compassionate ways of coping.

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.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons), B.Sc. (Psych)
Perfectionism often starts as a way to stay safe and close to others: if you meet every expectation and manage how you come across, maybe you can avoid criticism, disapproval or shame. It can look like people-pleasing, keeping up appearances, or being the high achiever who keeps the peace at home. Over time that pressure can wear you down into burnout, a harsh inner critic, imposter syndrome, or a sense that you're never quite good enough. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we get to know the parts of you that work so hard and the fear of rejection underneath, so your sense of worth rests less on getting everything right.

Joey Men (Healthy Mode Consulting)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Accredited Mental Health Social Worker
I often use Schema Therapy to help my client spot underlying core beliefs and emotional patterns underneath their perfectionism, then using experiential therapy and chair work to help them bypass these deeply rooted patterns.
