This can be neutralized employing a "Wagner Earth." For inductors,
there is the Modified Owen method.

Basically, problems of this sort have been handled with driven shields
(a variant of the Wagner Earth/Ground). This exactly century-old
topic ( "Wagner Earth") is rarely discussed outside of precision
measurement or very high voltage handling circuits, however.
