If You’ve Landed on This Blog…

I’m willing to guess that you’re looking for how to overcome imposter syndrome. Maybe you’re wondering what imposter syndrome therapy looks like. Perhaps you’ve even searched for imposter syndrome treatment or low self-esteem treatment, hoping to find a way to finally silence that nagging self-doubt.

Let me start by saying: you are not alone.

I’ve worked with countless women in the workplace who look confident and successful on the outside—women who have climbed the career ladder, achieved incredible things, and are widely respected in their field.

Yet, on the inside? It’s a very different story.

The Silent Battle of Imposter Syndrome

Many of the women I work with share a common fear:

💭 “What if they find out I’m not good enough?”
💭 “I’m just lucky—I don’t really deserve this.”
💭 “Everyone else is more competent than me.”

This fear of being exposed as a fraud drives them to work harder, push themselves to exhaustion, and struggle to set healthy boundaries.

They say yes when they want to say no. They take on more than they can handle. And, despite their achievements, they constantly compare themselves to colleagues, convinced they aren’t as good as everyone else.

And this, inevitably, leads to burnout.

Here’s the paradox: Rationally, they know they’re good at their job.

They get positive feedback. Their performance reviews are great. They’ve been promoted. And yet…

That voice in their head gets louder and louder:

“I’m not good enough. I’m not good enough. I’m not good enough.”

It’s like a song stuck on repeat—a song you desperately want to turn off but can’t seem to stop playing.

Imposter Syndrome and Low Self-Esteem: The Link

If you’ve been looking for imposter syndrome treatment, you might also have spent time searching for low self-esteem treatment or confidence hypnotherapy. Because the truth is, imposter syndrome and low self-esteem go hand in hand.

One of the biggest things I help my clients recognize is how they talk to themselves.

Many of the women I work with:
❌ Reject themselves before anyone else can.
❌ Speak harshly to themselves—never feeling like they’ve done enough.
❌ Judge themselves constantly—rarely acknowledging their successes and hardly ever praising themselves
❌ Crave confidence and self-worth but unconsciously reinforce self-doubt through their inner dialogue

The inner critic is relentless. And the irony? The very same women who desperately want to feel good enough are the ones who withhold kindness from themselves the most.

If this resonates with you, then know this: change is possible.

Imposter Syndrome Therapy: A Holistic Approach

Transforming low self-esteem and overcoming imposter syndrome isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. This is why the approach I use is holistic, deep, and highly personalised.

What I do is help women upgrade their identity.

This isn’t just about tackling surface-level confidence issues. It’s about:

✨ Creating a new identity—one where you believe in yourself.
✨ Stepping into self-worth—where you feel calm, capable, and confident.
✨ Letting go of mental noise—so you can move through your day without overthinking.

I always ask my clients: Who is the future version of you?

🔹 How does she show up?
🔹 How does she act?
🔹 How does she feel?
🔹 What will let you know that she’s stepping into her power?

When you can start to see and feel this version of yourself, transformation begins.

How I Work With Women to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

Using a combination of:
✔ Hypnotherapy – to reprogram deep-seated self-doubt.
✔ EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) – to release limiting beliefs and silence the mental chatter.
✔ MAP (Make Anything Possible) – to rewire old patterns, integrate parts creating conflict, treat trauma (childhood trauma is often linked with Imposter Syndrome)
✔ Solution-Focused Psychotherapy & Coaching – to build an empowered mindset.

I help my clients rewire the identity of imposter syndrome so that they start to embody self-worth instead of just chasing it.

And the beautiful thing? This isn’t just about believing you’re good enough. It’s about knowing it on a deep, unshakable level.

Because your brain is neuroplastic—which means it can change.

Just like Hannah experienced when we worked together:

“After a few sessions, a new version of me began to emerge. I now understood why I felt the way I did and more importantly, understood that I could feel the way I wanted to feel going forward. 

I called the new version of me ‘Version 2’ and by the fourth session with Sara, I could feel myself starting to become this version. In reality, if I did what Version 2 would do, everything was fine. And actually, when I did what Version 2 would do, everything started to get better. 

By not doing the same things I always did and not responding in the same ways I always had, I became a stronger, happier person. Not only was I less worried, but I realised the way I was acting before could cause a lot of my anxiety. Now, as Version 2, I didn’t need to worry about any of that and thanks to Sara’s amazing hypnotherapy, my brain didn’t even want to go to those places of worry anymore anyway.

I’ve now had my eighth session with Sara and if I had known I’d feel this much better so quickly, I’d have Googled for help much sooner. I’m just so glad my Google search brought back the right person to help me.

💥 You can experience freedom from anxiety and overcome imposter syndrome too!
