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 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.

Wellington is New Zealand's compact capital city and home to the national public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government and policy careers — including burnout, moral injury, and the pressures of politically visible work. The city has a high concentration of university-educated professionals who generally view therapy as a normal part of self-care, and demand for longer-term therapeutic work is relatively strong. Wellington Regional Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, and the inner suburbs. Wellington's smaller size relative to Auckland means specialist therapist availability can be limited, and telehealth has become an important option for residents seeking a specific type of match.
