Imposter Syndrome & Anxiety
in High-Functioning Professionals
Even when you’re doing well on the outside, it can feel very different on the inside.
Psychological Therapy for Professionals in London and Online
Hi, I'm Chris Beale, a Chartered Psychologist and Workplace Mental Health Consultant based in central London.
People come to therapy for different reasons, but often there is a common thread — something isn’t working as it used to, or as it “should”, despite best efforts to manage it.
My role is to help you understand what is maintaining these patterns and to work with you in a practical, structured way to create meaningful change.
Many of the people I work with are capable, thoughtful, and successful in their professional lives, yet struggle with confidence and find relationships and managing their emotions much harder.
I commonly help with:
Imposter Syndrome & Self-Doubt
- Feeling like a fraud
- Difficulty internalising success
- Lacking confidence to make decisions
Anxiety, Overthinking & Emotional Regulation
- Constant mental replay, difficulty switching off
- Struggling to manage emotional responses, particularly in relationships
Workplace Stress & Burnout
- Pressure, responsibility, performance demands
- The lasting impact of toxic environments or workplace bullying
- Loss of motivation, emotional exhaustion, or a sense of detachment from work
Relationships & Emotional Patterns
- Functioning well professionally but relationships feel more complex or challenging
- Difficulty expressing needs, managing conflict, or navigating emotional responses
LGBTIQ+ Clients
- Identity, relationships, minority stress, and the complexities of managing a professional life
Sessions are available online and face to face pending availability.
If this resonates, you’re welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial consultation.
