Perfectionism can get in the way of living a life that you want - it stops you from starting things out of fear, from accomplish things because they may not be good enough.

It can also lead to burnout as you sprint and crash towards deadlines.

Olivia can work with you to address problematic perfectionism; she has also authored an article on perfectionism and procrastination.

When it comes to phobias, Olivia recognises the profound impact it can have on life - from daily routines such as going to shopping centres, through to more significant events such as flying.
