Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Mindnest Counselling
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.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
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.

Ballarat is Victoria's third-largest city, an inland regional centre with a proud gold rush heritage and a contemporary economy built on education, manufacturing, and regional services, and its mental health landscape reflects the particular challenges of a provincial city navigating the tension between its historical significance and the need to offer a modern, liveable community for young residents who might otherwise migrate to Melbourne. Federation University Australia is based in Ballarat and contributes to the local mental health workforce through its psychology programs, and Grampians Health provides public mental health services to the region. The surrounding agricultural communities create additional mental health demand for rural and farming populations, and Ballarat serves as a hub for mental health access across western Victoria. Common therapy concerns include regional and rural isolation, farming community stress, student mental health at Federation University, anxiety, depression, and the identity and belonging challenges of building a life in a regional city competing with the pull of major urban centres.
