About Klara

Klara Sharples is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement, relationship strain and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, major life changes, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related worries. Klara works in English and Czech and draws on three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Klara uses a mix of direct and non-direct approaches shaped by each person's preferences.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and practical. She provides coping strategies, plain psychoeducation, and step-by-step ways to manage strong emotions. Her background includes a university degree in Psychology and focused work with people facing anxiety, loss and stress.

That experience informs an understanding of childhood trauma and how it can affect adult life. She listens for how past events show up now, so clients can start to make sense of their reactions. In sessions Klara will explore a client's experience without judgement and offer exercises to build resilience.

She aims to help people understand their thoughts and feelings, and then try different ways of coping. The tone is encouraging and rooted in respect. Klara also works with parenting-related concerns and family tensions, including issues such as adoption and blended family dynamics.

She offers practical tools to improve communication and to manage the strain of life changes. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are reviewed regularly. Her style blends client-centred listening with practical methods so clients can move from understanding toward doing different things in daily life.

Online support

How Klara’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the session. It means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the person seeking help. That approach helps people who need considerate, paced support to talk through painful topics or make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. This is useful for people wanting practical tools to test in everyday life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Klara will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and try methods that fit the client's needs. Together they check progress and adjust the work as needed so the therapy feels relevant.

Online therapy offers a flexible way to access counselling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work with lower bandwidth, live chat provides a real-time text option, and messaging lets clients check in between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
