My counselor is not supportive at all and always seems out to get me. She always has an attitude when we talk and It seems like nothing I do is ever good enough for her. Any advice?

Get a new counsellor. While your counsellor needs to be true to you and work with you on improvement, etc, at the same time they need to not be condescending. They need to be supportive, they make your career case afterall.

Yes, she is not supportive at all. Whenever I talk to her I’m just filled with anxiety after.

Is it difficult to change? At Accenture we can choose our counselors (though it needs to be mutual) and we can switch very easily.

Yes. Ask your people consultant for a call. And express your concerns especially if this is detrimental to your career development. You can also loop in your CFL if you have a strong relationship.

It’s not good if she makes you feel anxiety and fear. You should request a change if that’s possible.
A perspective from the other side though - what are you expecting her to do that she hasn’t done? Maybe a mismatch of expectations?

Don’t jeopardize your own career because someone else might feel bad.

You can be professional about it. “I feel we’re not a good fit” or “my interests have changed and I would like a counselor with X experience”

I would reach out to talent and “ask” for advice. They will pick up on your ask and suggest a new counselor

You know what I love? Managers that tell you to do one thing and you do it. Then when a Client, SM, or PPMD questions your actions they go SILENT🙃. No support or explanation , and you’re left to defend yourself/actions. You ain’t Casper or a mute, so don’t act like one🗣.
