Impostor Syndrome Coaching

You earned your place.
Now let's make you

Impostor syndrome is not a character flaw. It is a specific, well-documented psychological pattern that affects high achievers across every sector and level. Rebecca has worked with hundreds of professionals to understand exactly where it comes from and dismantle it from the inside out.

  • Understand the specific psychological and environmental roots of your impostor experience
  • Break the cycle of self-doubt that follows you from one achievement to the next
  • Stop waiting for the moment you finally feel legitimate
  • Build the kind of self-trust that does not collapse under pressure

Does this feel familiar?

The quiet thoughts
that follow you
into every room.

These are things Rebecca hears from almost every client she works with on impostor syndrome. They are more common than most people realise, and they are more solvable than they feel.

"I feel like I do not deserve the job I have worked hard to get."

On the gap between achievement and belief

"I am waiting for someone to find out I am not as capable as they think I am."

On the fear of being found out

"I constantly second-guess my decisions, even when I know the answer."

On chronic self-doubt

"I feel unseen. Like the real me does not quite fit the room I am in."

On belonging and visibility

"People misread what I am trying to say. I lose my words when it matters most."

On voice and communication under pressure

"When something goes well, I put it down to luck. When it goes badly, I blame myself."

On the double standard impostor syndrome runs
"Impostor syndrome is not a personal flaw. It is an intelligent signal from someone whose internal authority has not always been welcomed."
BEX · Founder, We Are Delphi

Impostor syndrome has a name for a reason.

It was first named in 1978 by psychologists Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes studying high-achieving women. Since then it has been documented across genders, industries and levels of seniority. It is not rare. It is not a sign of weakness. And it is not permanent.

What makes it feel permanent is that most approaches try to talk you out of it. Rebecca works differently. She helps you understand the specific experiences that created it and build something more durable in its place.

Your Coach

Hi. I am Rebecca.
I have lived this.
That is why it works.

I am Rebecca, founder of We Are Delphi. I am an ex-British diplomat, Oxford graduate, and trained therapist. I have often second-guessed myself, experienced social anxiety and doubted my own abilities. I know exactly what this feels like from the inside and I know what it takes to work through it.

I have lived in six countries, worked across law, banking, politics, tech, the charity and public sectors. I have done a lot, made the mistakes, and taken the lessons. I have helped hundreds of clients rebuild their self-trust and show up with genuine confidence, not performed confidence.

The Programme

A framework built
around impostor syndrome.
Not around you being broken.

The programme is built on a genuine theory of change. Every module has a clear purpose, a framework drawn from psychology, and practical tools you can use immediately.

Theory of Change

Impostor syndrome is not a psychological defect but a relational and cultural signal. It was, at some point, an intelligent adaptation to spaces where your internal authority was not welcomed or recognised.

This programme helps you to:

  • Identify the environmental and systemic roots of your impostor experiences
  • Understand the function and internal logic of self-doubt
  • Build relational and embodied practices that anchor self-trust and coherence
  • Reclaim visibility and voice without relying on performance

Through structured sessions, clients shift from managing perception to inhabiting presence with clarity, groundedness, and internal authorship.

"Working with Rebecca has been life changing for my communication and confidence. My partner has commented on many occasions that I come across more confidently than I had before. My only regret is that I did not work with Rebecca earlier in my career. Rebecca provided me with the skills and tools I needed to make an impact at work and act in a leadership capacity. The stretch goals Rebecca helped me set at the end of every session reinforced what I had learned and were vital to developing my skills."

"Rebecca has been an absolute game changer for me. Over the past two years, she has guided me through some of the toughest transitions in my life, from navigating the complexities of a startup to managing tricky dynamics with colleagues. Her support has been both deeply personal and incredibly effective. Rebecca has this amazing ability to listen, understand, and provide advice that is not only practical but also transformative. She has been more than a coach. She has been a lifeline."

"I was feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, and caught in a cycle of procrastination and perfectionism when I found Rebecca on Bark. She has been coaching me for about six months now, and in that time, she has gently yet effectively challenged my thinking, always in a positive and constructive way. I have never felt judged or silly, no matter what I have shared. Beyond being a coach, Rebecca has been an unwavering accountability partner. I am truly grateful for her guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful support."

"I hired Rebecca to help me with my preparation for job interviews and she ended up helping me with lots more than just that, managing to dial in on confidence as a whole, and finding ways to help I would never have thought of or tried. Ended up getting the job of my dreams because of the help. Would highly recommend her services."

"After just one session with Rebecca I have gained so much clarity and reassurance during a time in my life where I have felt a lot of confusion, lack of direction and internal chaos. She utilised every minute of our session with a calm, compassionate approach and genuine attention to detail. Her guidance has had a profound impact as she managed to get straight to the source of my issue and was able to offer practical, realistic goals in order to move forwards. Thank you Rebecca!"

"If you need a coach, I highly recommend Rebecca. She has been so wonderful and extremely helpful since the first moment that we started our contact. All our work gave me all the strengths that I needed to work on myself, and all the tools during and after our sessions were extremely useful to build my confidence and set up my goals for this next step in my career."

Questions

Things people ask before booking

Is impostor syndrome something that can actually be coached?

Yes. It is one of the things Rebecca works on most. The key is understanding that impostor syndrome is not a fixed personality trait. It is a learned response to specific environments and experiences. That means it can be unlearned, reframed, and replaced with something more useful.

I have tried affirmations and confidence tips before. Why would this be different?

Because this does not start with affirmations. It starts with a genuine investigation into where the self-doubt came from and what it has been trying to protect you from. Surface-level tips do not touch the root. This does.

Is this coaching or therapy?

It is coaching that draws on therapeutic tools where needed. Rebecca is a trained therapist as well as a coach, which means she can go deeper than most coaches when the work requires it. If what you need is primarily therapeutic, she will tell you that honestly.

Do sessions work online?

Yes, completely. All sessions are via Zoom. Rebecca works with clients across the UK and internationally. She sends written notes and follow-ups after every session, written by her, not generated by AI.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on how deep the roots go and what else is connected. Some clients find significant shift in six sessions. Others want to go further. Rebecca will always be honest about what she thinks you need and will never recommend more sessions than are warranted.

I am not sure this is impostor syndrome. Could it be something else?

Probably both. The free intro call is the right place to talk through what is happening. Rebecca will give you an honest read on what she thinks is going on and what approach is most likely to help, even if that means pointing you elsewhere.

Impostor syndrome is common. Keeping it is optional.

Start with a conversation.
Free. No commitment.

Tell Rebecca what is happening, what the voice keeps saying, and how long it has been saying it. She will tell you honestly what she thinks will help.
