The Becoming Practice
Counsellor/Therapist, M Couns; BSocSc (Psychology)
I support clients struggling with perfectionism by exploring the thoughts, fears, and pressures that drive the need to be ‘perfect.’ Together, we work on cultivating self-compassion, setting realistic expectations, and embracing growth over judgment, helping you live with greater ease and confidence.

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.

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.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
For many women, perfectionism is not simply about high standards or wanting to “do things well”.
Often it develops as a way of feeling safe, accepted and emotionally protected.
Many women living abroad become highly skilled at monitoring themselves:
how they speak,
how they appear,
how they are perceived,
whether they are doing enough,
achieving enough,
adapting enough.
Over time, this constant self-monitoring can create emotional exhaustion, anxiety, chronic pressure and a nervous system that struggles to fully relax.
For many Italian women living between cultures and expectations, perfectionism can become deeply connected to belonging, identity and the fear of being judged as “too much”, “not enough” or somehow different.
My work explores the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns underneath perfectionism, people pleasing and over-functioning.
I offer a warm, reflective and holistic space where women can begin reconnecting with self-worth, authenticity and inner safety without constantly needing to perform, adapt or prove themselves.
I integrate psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EFT, embodiment, lifestyle medicine, reflective dialogue and nature-based approaches to support women in moving from chronic pressure toward greater emotional ease, regulation and self-trust.

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.
