How Perfectionism Is Costing You Clients — And You Don’t Even Know It

You work hard. You care deeply. You want to do right by your clients.

But beneath the surface, is there a fear of not being good enough? Of getting it wrong? Of being found out?

This workshop takes a compassionate, honest look at perfectionism—how it shows up not just in your personal life, but in your clinical work. You may not realize it, but perfectionism can be quietly draining your confidence, limiting your impact, and even affecting your ability to attract and retain clients.

Together, we’ll explore how internalised expectations, self-doubt, and the pursuit of “doing it right” can keep you stuck—and what it would look like to soften those patterns without losing your standards and deepen your sense of purpose and your connection with yourself and your clients.

Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event

• A clear understanding of how perfectionism differs from healthy ambition.
• Insight into the early roots of your perfectionistic patterns.
• Awareness of how fear of failure may be affecting your clinical presence and confidence.

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

• Therapists, psychologists, counsellors, social workers, and mental health professionals who find themselves over preparing, second-guessing, or quietly burning out.

How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?

• Greater Confidence & Presence:
  You’ll feel more grounded and capable, even in moments of uncertainty. Letting go of the need to “know it all” allows you to connect more authentically with clients.
• Improved Client Relationships:
  By embracing imperfection and practising repair, you’ll model self-compassion and resilience, offering clients a more human, relational experience of healing.
• Healthier Boundaries & Less Burnout:
  With new awareness of where perfectionism drives overwork or emotional exhaustion, you’ll begin to make choices that protect your energy and well-being.

Niamh Goodyer and Stef Sale

Niamh and Stef are trauma-informed practitioners and facilitators who specialise in helping others reconnect with their inner clarity, compassion, and courage.

Their professional work is rooted in their personal journeys through birth trauma, grief, and navigating motherhood without the support they deeply needed at the time. These experiences were the catalyst for years of inner work and professional development that now shape the way they show up—with empathy, authenticity, and an unwavering belief in the power of safe, relational healing.

Together, they bring over three decades of combined experience in both clinical and holistic modalities. Niamh, a former Diagnostic Radiographer, is now a Counsellor and Hypnotherapist trained in Compassionate Inquiry (with Dr. Gabor Maté), EFT, MBIR®Belief Coding®, Quantum Flame Healing® and more. Stef’s background includes a deep dive into postnatal healing, trauma recovery, and parenting support through modalities such as Quantum Flame Healing®, EFT, Inner Growth, and the Parent-Child Connection framework.

In their work with both individuals and groups—including fellow therapists—they create space to gently unearth and release outdated beliefs, perfectionism, and protective patterns that may be silently shaping lives and clinical relationships. Through 1:1 sessions, courses, and workshops, they guide others to shed what no longer serves—like clearing weeds from a garden—so new growth, deeper connection, and joy can flourish.

As facilitators, Niamh and Stef lead by example: they continue to do their own inner work, ensuring they are the clearest channel they can be—for themselves, their families, and the people they support.
