Therapy for Procrastination

Procrastination is not always poor discipline. Often it is avoidance with a reason. The task may carry fear, pressure, boredom, confusion, perfectionism, resentment, or shame.

Moffat helps clients look at the emotion underneath delay so the work becomes more practical and less punishing.

How this can show up

• Waiting for pressure before starting
• Avoiding important tasks while doing easier ones
• Feeling stuck because the first step feels too big
• Starting, stopping, and then criticising yourself harshly
• Fear that finished work will be judged or not good enough

What counselling with Moffat can focus on

Sessions can help you identify what you are avoiding and why. Moffat can support practical planning, but also the deeper work around fear of failure, low self-worth, resentment, burnout, ADHD traits, or perfectionism.

Starting sessions

Bring the task you keep avoiding. It usually tells a wider story than it first appears to.
