I’m Sharon Ratcliff, a BACP Accredited counsellor offering online counselling across the UK from my practice in Lincolnshire.
I created this guide based on grounding techniques I regularly use and share with clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious.
Grounding won’t remove the source of your stress, but it can help you feel calmer and more present, giving you a little more space to respond to what’s happening.
