Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected? Grounding techniques can help bring you back to the here and now—gently reconnecting you with your body and surroundings.

Here are a few you can try when things feel like too much:

5-4-3-2-1 technique – Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you can taste.

Box breathing – Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat a few times.

Hold something textured – A smooth stone, soft fabric, or even an ice cube. Notice the sensation.

Sip a warm drink slowly – Let yourself fully experience the warmth, taste, and scent.

You deserve tools that help you feel steady and safe. ACS Counselling is here to support you, and your first session is free. Book online at www.acscounselling.com.au

What counselling is vs. what it isn’t..

Counselling is:
• A safe space to talk and be heard
• A journey of self-discovery and growth
• Support for mental health and emotional well-being
• Confidential and non-judgmental

Counselling isn't:
• Giving advice or telling you what to do
• A quick fix
• Only for people in crisis
• Judging or diagnosing you

Counselling is for anyone who wants to understand themselves better and make meaningful changes. You don’t need to wait for a crisis to seek support.

ACS is here to support you, book online at www.acscounselling.com.au your first session is free.

Women are the backbone of families, workplaces, and communities. They take on multiple roles—caregivers, professionals, friends, partners, mothers, daughters—constantly giving their time and energy to others. But in the midst of supporting everyone else, their own well-being often gets left behind.
The reality is, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Stress, exhaustion, and emotional burnout can creep in, making it harder to enjoy life and be present for the people who matter most.
That’s why this International Women’s Day is a reminder to take care of YOU.

Do you feel overwhelmed by responsibilities?

Do you find yourself putting others’ needs before your own?

Do you wish you had a safe space to talk, be heard, and feel supported?

At ACS Online Counselling, we understand the pressures that women face. Our compassionate, professional counsellors are here to provide a judgment-free, confidential space where you can talk openly, process emotions, and rediscover your inner strength. Whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, or simply need someone to listen, we’re here for you.

If you would like to book an appointment with Australian Counselling Service you can book directly online at www.acscounselling.com.au.

Feeling like life is overwhelming? This is a common feeling especially with the busy lives we lead currently. So many emails to reply to, bills to pay, assignments to hand in, it’s daunting and tough. It can leave life feeling bland and colourless. But when life gets hard it is important to remember to focus. Focusing on what we can control, focusing on the positive moments in life and realizing our own strengths have existed all along it’s just so hard to see them through the negativity that our focus is currently on. It can be difficult to see those good moments yourself but talking with a counsellor can aid you to find those good moments and those strengths that should be the focus of our lives. When we focus on the good moment’s life becomes colourful and enjoyable once more.

ACS is here to support you. Book online at www.acscounselling.com.au or ring 1 300 373 033 for an appointment.
