Believing in Yourself When Imposter Syndrome Hits

“Do I really deserve to be here?”
It’s a question that can sneak in when you least expect it—right after you’ve done something great, got recognised at work, or started something exciting. That little voice of doubt, the one that whispers “They’re going to find out I’m not good enough”, is more common than you might think. It’s called imposter syndrome—and it can make even the most capable people question themselves.

At Benz and Speen, we often support people who are quietly battling those feelings. You’re not alone in this.

You’re Not the Only One

Imposter syndrome doesn’t just affect people in high-powered careers or big life transitions. It shows up in all sorts of moments—starting a new job, returning to study, even parenting. It can feel like everyone else knows exactly what they’re doing, while you’re just winging it. But the truth? Most people feel this way at some point. It’s just that no one talks about it much.

That’s why therapy can be so powerful—it gives you a space to say it out loud, make sense of it, and start letting go of the pressure to be perfect.

Start By Noticing the Signs

Maybe you find it hard to accept praise. Maybe you brush off your successes as “just luck” or “not a big deal.” Maybe you lie awake at night worrying you’ve missed something obvious or let someone down. These are signs of imposter thoughts creeping in.

With the help of a therapist, you can start to notice these patterns and gently challenge them—so they stop running the show.

You’re Not a Fraud—You’re Human

We’ve all got that inner critic that pipes up from time to time. But if it’s stopping you from enjoying what you’ve worked for or moving forward with confidence, it might be time to talk about it. Therapy isn’t about fixing something that’s broken. It’s about helping you see yourself with more kindness, less doubt, and a whole lot more truth.

You’re doing better than you think—and no, you didn’t just get “lucky.”

Building Self-Belief Takes Practice

Confidence doesn’t always come naturally, especially if you’ve spent years second-guessing yourself. But it can grow—with the right support. At Benz and Speen, our therapists are here to help you untangle those thoughts, build perspective, and start backing yourself—genuinely and wholeheartedly.

It’s Okay to Be Unsure

If you’re not completely sure about starting therapy, that’s perfectly normal. You don’t need to have it all figured out. The first step is simply showing up with curiosity. At Benz and Speen, we’re here to offer a safe, welcoming space where you can explore what’s going on—no judgement, no pressure.

Is Online Therapy As Effective As In-Person Therapy?
