The Perfectionism Therapist

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect in everything you do? 😨

Are you...
- Overthinking and second-guessing every decision?
- Feeling like you're never doing enough, no matter how hard you try?
- Procrastinating because you're afraid of not getting it perfect?
- Criticising yourself for even the smallest flaws?
- Struggling to relax and enjoy the present moment?

Being a perfectionist can be tough 😔

As a therapist who has worked with hundreds of perfectionists over the last 12 years, I know you’re not alone in this ❤️‍🩹 I’ve been there myself, and I understand how paralysing perfectionism can be!

It’s important to know that feeling overwhelmed is a clear sign your perfectionism has become unhealthy 👇🏼

ℹ️ Perfectionism can be both adaptive (helpful) and maladaptive (unhelpful)
ℹ️ In the healthy range, you can feel satisfied by your achievements and maintain a balance
ℹ️ In the unhealthy range, you struggle with chronic dissatisfaction and overwhelming standards.

But trying to overcome or eradicate your perfectionism won’t work ❌

Constantly battling with your perfectionism will only make you feel worse. It’s a part of who you are – perfectionism is a personality trait. Plus, I’ve yet to meet a perfectionist who wants to eliminate every single aspect of their perfectionism 👀

What you really need is to:
💫 Focus on becoming a healthy perfectionist and bringing your perfectionism into the healthy range.
💫 Identify which aspects of your perfectionism are holding you back and discover the positive parts you can leverage.
💫 Learn effective strategies to manage your perfectionism and thrive in all areas of your life.

I’m a Senior Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and Coach, and I specialise in helping overwhelmed perfectionists successfully manage their perfectionism so they can feel calm, confident and content.
