Starting a business and self-doubt often sit close together. This does not mean you are not capable. It may mean you are doing something that asks more of your nervous system than you expected.

But honestly enough to notice how we affect others, how we respond under pressure, and what happens inside us when we are challenged.

Imposter syndrome in business can feel especially strong because business asks us to be seen. You may need to talk about your work. You have to be able to name what you offer. To set prices. To share ideas. To make decisions. To receive feedback.

Job loss counselling can help you make room for the emotional impact of losing work and everything that has meant to you, while also supporting you to begin thinking about what comes next.
