What Causes Imposter Syndrome & Self-Doubt In
High Achievers? Experienced Psychologist and
Executive Coach Explains
Recent research involving over 11,000 people shows
62% experience imposter syndrome—persistent self-
doubt that lingers even when success is clear.
Imposter syndrome hits high-
achieving professionals,
students, and leaders hardest.
It's closely tied to stress, burnout,
and underperformance in
competitive spaces.
Sarah Phillips offers psychology-based coaching to address root causes like
perfectionism and childhood conditioning—combining practical tools with deep insight.
With over 20 years of experience, Sarah holds a
BSc in Psychology, MSc in Applied Psychology, and
an Advanced Diploma in Executive Coaching.
Her one-to-one coaching includes action planning,
email support, and customised strategies. Sessions
are online or in person for life, career, or leadership
growth.
A recent client said Sarah's structured, empathetic approach—and her practical, personalised action
plans—helped them move forward with confidence.
