Klara Sharples, BACP

Klara Sharples is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and those exploring LGBT matters. Klara uses a calm, non-judgemental style and aims to help people feel understood and gradually stronger.

Klara has a degree in Psychology and holds BACP registration, which she carries as a professional credential. She has three years of experience working with people who are dealing with loss, bereavement and anxiety. In sessions she combines direct and more non-direct ways of working to match what each person prefers.

In practical terms, she talks through past experiences so clients can begin to come to terms with them. She offers coping strategies and psychoeducation to help people manage stress and build resilience. Klara describes herself as a steady supporter who helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods such as client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. She adapts these to a client’s pace and goals rather than following a fixed script. The aim is to help people understand how the past shapes the present and to invite a more positive future.

Sessions are conducted in English and Czech. Prospective clients in the United Kingdom should check current session options and scheduling before booking.

How Klara’s approaches translate to online support

Klara draws on client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people explore feelings and change unhelpful thinking. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions, which can help with grief and low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety and stress.

Finding the right way of working is collaborative. Klara will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She adapts the mix of listening, practical tasks and mindfulness exercises to suit the individual rather than applying a single method.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps slot sessions into a busy life, makes shorter check-ins easier to arrange and allows work on structured tools and homework between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to continue therapy when in-person meetings are difficult, while keeping the focus on practical coping, processing loss and building steady routines.
