Therapy for Perfectionism
in North Vancouver
Support for perfectionism, burnout, and self-criticism.
You're in the right place.When high standards stop feeling helpful and start creating anxiety, burnout, procrastination, and self-criticism - therapy can help.
Many people with perfectionism feel pressure to perform, fear making mistakes, and struggle to rest — even when they’re successful.
Perfectionism often looks like motivation on the outside, but inside it can feel like never being good enough.
Harsh inner critic and fear of failure
Procrastination or avoidance due to pressure
Feeling that self-worth depends on performance
Difficulty relaxing or enjoying achievements
Feeling responsible for holding everything together
❋ Signs perfectionism may be driving your anxiety:Perfectionism therapy is not about lowering your standards or losing motivation. It’s about building a healthier, more flexible relationship with achievement, mistakes, and self-worth.
HOW DOES PERFECTIONISM THERAPY WORK?
Using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), our work may focus on:
Identifying perfectionistic rules and beliefs
Reducing the power of the inner critic
Practicing imperfection safely and intentionally
Building self-worth beyond productivity and performance
Learning to tolerate mistakes, uncertainty, and vulnerability
What to expect?
Therapy is collaborative, practical, and paced to feel challenging but manageable. Many clients notice they:
Less anxiety and burnout
More follow-through and less avoidance
Increased self-compassion without losing ambition
A greater sense of freedom and flexibility
