Impostor feelings may include discounting achievements, fearing exposure or treating ordinary uncertainty as evidence that you do not belong. They are not a diagnosis. Describe where the feeling appears and how it changes what you do. Counsilio helps explore a suitable counsellor match through guided onboarding.
Use a specific moment at work
Perhaps praise leaves you anxious about the next task, or a promotion makes asking a question feel risky. What happened, what did you tell yourself, and what did you do afterwards? These are invented examples. They can help you explain the gap between outward performance and inner experience without needing to prove that you are secretly competent enough for support.
Connect the conversation to a real change
You may want to speak up, accept useful feedback or stop repeatedly comparing yourself with colleagues. That gives a counselling conversation a clearer direction than trying to become confident all the time. Actual discrimination, unclear expectations or lack of training should also be recognised rather than blamed on your mindset. Support can help understand your response while practical workplace issues may require their own action.
Questions about getting support
Is impostor syndrome a medical diagnosis?
This page uses impostor feelings as a description of experience, not a diagnosis or a screening result.
Will positive thinking solve it?
A generic reassurance may not address the pattern or circumstances. Explore the actual experience and what support would be useful.
