Feeling stuck, even when you feel like you know what you should do?
On the outside, you might seem like you have things together. On the inside, overthinking, self-doubt and fear of getting it wrong can leave you stuck, delaying decisions or avoiding things that matter to you.
I offer CBT therapy for people who feel held back by perfectionism, even though they know they’re capable.
Does this sound like you?
You may recognise yourself if:
✓ You have high standards; and rarely feel satisfied with what you do
✓ You delay starting things because you’re worried you’ll get them wrong
✓ You think things through endlessly, then feel frustrated that you haven’t acted
✓ Other people see you as competent, but inside you feel stuck or behind
✓ You tell yourself you should be able to handle things better
If this resonates, you’re not broken, and you’re certainly not alone.
How therapy can help
Perfectionism often looks like motivation or high standards, but it’s usually driven by fear; of failure, judgement, or not being good enough.
Using CBT, we’ll work together to help you:
Reduce overthinking and self‑criticism
Understand what’s keeping you stuck
Take action without needing to feel fully confident or certain
Build a steadier sense of self‑worth that isn’t based on performance
Therapy isn’t about lowering your standards- it’s about helping you move forward without fear running the show.
How I work
I offer CBT therapy in a collaborative, practical and compassionate way. Sessions are a space to slow things down, understand what’s happening, and gently challenge the patterns that keep you stuck.
We’ll focus on what’s happening now, while also making sense of where these patterns came from, so change feels possible and sustainable.
I work with adults online across the UK.
Working with me
I’m a CBT therapist with experience supporting people who struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, overthinking and self‑doubt.
Many of my clients are high‑functioning, thoughtful and capable, but feel blocked from living the way they want to.
If you’re tired of waiting until you feel ready or confident enough, therapy can help you start from where you are.
Next steps
Starting therapy can feel daunting- especially if you want to get it “right”.
You don’t need to have the perfect words or a clear plan. We can figure things out together.
