Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Wanting to get things right can be crippling. Unable to take a step forward until all your ducks are in a row. But the right time is never going to come. I help my clients understand what this strategy of perfectionism is really about for them and how to flatten the button of "perfect" so they can live their lives to their full potential - without crippling fear of judgment or rejection. Ready to take off the shackles of perfectionism and lean into your whole humanity? Book a free 15 minute phone consult via my website to discuss more.

I help individuals struggling with perfectionism challenge rigid standards, reduce self-criticism, and develop more balanced and self-compassionate ways of thinking and living.

Impossibly high standards tend to produce the opposite of what they promise: procrastination, avoidance, self-criticism and not starting at all. We work on this with both adults and children. In adults it often centres on work or study and is tied to how someone judges their own worth. In children it can look like refusing to attempt something rather than risk doing it imperfectly. The work is on loosening the standard, not on lowering the person's ambition.

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.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in mental health work, I have a good understanding of perfectionism and how it impacts the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner perfectionistic issues better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying often subconscious issues without the need to discuss the details of those issues. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of shame created from the perfection oriented behaviours behind.
My aim is to assist you with your perfectionism to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using the various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods) along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.
