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.

Bianca Amendola
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I work with individuals struggling with perfectionism, self-criticism, fear of failure, and difficulty meeting their own expectations. Therapy focuses on reducing shame, increasing self-compassion, challenging unhelpful standards, and developing a healthier relationship with achievement, productivity, and self-worth.

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 can create constant pressure, fear of failure, self-criticism, and emotional exhaustion. Therapy helps individuals challenge unrealistic expectations, develop healthier coping patterns, and build greater balance, flexibility, and self-acceptance.

Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It is incredibly common to trick yourself into believing that perfectionism is the secret to your success—that if you let go of that relentless internal pressure, you will completely lose your drive. In reality, that pressure traps you in an exhausting cycle where every task, email, or interaction feels like a high-stakes test of your fundamental value as a person. This doesn't just drive achievement; it drives intense burnout, chronic procrastination, and a deeply fried nervous system. Our work together is not about forcing you to abandon your high standards. Instead, we are going to untangle those standards from your self-worth. We will challenge the rigid, all-or-nothing thought patterns that keep you paralyzed, and help you build a much more sustainable way to pursue your goals. You can absolutely remain ambitious and driven while also experiencing genuine inner peace—and maybe even finding some fun in the messy imperfections of life.

Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital and functions as the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region, with a predominantly French-speaking population of federal government workers who access many services in both official languages. The city's identity is distinct from Ottawa — more working-class and francophone in character — and French-language therapy is the norm, with access to English-speaking practitioners limited relative to the Ontario side of the river. CISSS de l'Outaouais provides public mental health resources, and many Gatineau residents access the broader Ottawa-Gatineau therapy ecosystem via the bridges connecting both cities. Therapists here frequently encounter the stresses of public service careers, bilingual professional demands, and the particular challenges of raising families in a bicultural, bilingual metro area.
