End-of-year reflections and resolutions can feed perfectionism – the sense that next year you must finally get everything right.
Underneath that drive is so often fear, shame, or a belief that you’re only worthy when you achieve. It’s exhausting, and it isn’t the truth of who you are.
I’m Elaine, a Person-centred Integrative Counsellor and counselling educator. Through my work in Filton, Chipping Sodbury, and online, I help you gently explore where these patterns began and rediscover the grounded, good-enough self at your centre.
Starting counselling in the new year can be a kind commitment to yourself: loosening perfectionism’s grip and making more room for balance, confidence, and genuine self-trust.
If you’re considering counselling for the new year, you can get in touch now to arrange an initial consultation.
