Online Counselling for Overwhelm, Anxiety and Burnout

Hi, I’m Sharon Ratcliff, an BACP accredited counsellor based in Lincolnshire, offering online counselling across the UK. I support busy professionals who feel overwhelmed by the pressures of work and life. Together, we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and find a calmer way forward.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like everything is becoming too much?

Maybe you’re:

  • Juggling too many demands and stretched too thin
  • Lying awake at 3 am because your mind won’t switch off
  • Overthinking every conversation, decision, or possible outcome
  • Finding it hard to relax, unwind and feel at ease

We all feel stressed or anxious at times, but sometimes it builds up and starts to feel overwhelming – like you’re carrying it on your own with no clear way forward.

It doesn’t have to stay this way.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own. Together, we can explore what’s been weighing you down so you feel more able to cope, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

You don’t need to have all the answers or even know where to begin. We can start with whatever feels most important to you right now.

Maybe it’s time for things to start feeling a little easier

  • Feeling less overwhelmed and more able to manage life’s demands
  • Quieting the constant overthinking and finding more space in your mind
  • Feeling more present and able to enjoy everyday moments
  • Starting to feel calmer, more balanced and more like yourself

Areas I can help with

Whatever has brought you here, counselling can offer the space to explore what you’re experiencing, understand yourself better and consider what might help you move forward.

I support people with a range of challenges, including:

  • Feeling overwhelmed and burnout – when life feels like too much, you’re juggling too many demands, or you’re exhausted trying to keep everything together.
  • Stress and anxiety – including constant worry, overthinking, struggling to switch off or finding it difficult to feel calm.
  • Low confidence and self-esteem – exploring self-doubt, harsh self-criticism and how this affects the way you see yourself.
  • Menopause and the challenges of midlife – support with the emotional impact of change, uncertainty and adjusting to a new stage of life.
  • Cancer and the emotional impact of diagnosis, treatment and life afterwards – support with the fear, uncertainty, changes and emotions that can come alongside a cancer experience.
