About Klara
Klara Sharples is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns and life changes. Klara also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related matters, parenting and career questions, and LGBT-related difficulties.
She trained with a degree in psychology and uses a mix of direct and non-directive ways of working. Sessions focus on talking through difficult memories, understanding patterns from the past and learning practical coping strategies. Klara aims to help people manage symptoms so they can feel steadier day to day.
Her approach includes client-centred listening and structured methods drawn from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness therapies. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. In practice this means exploring helpful changes, practising short mental skills, and bringing together understanding and action.
Klara has experience helping people through bereavement and loss, as well as anxiety and stress. She supports people to process what has happened, build new routines and try small experiments that may reduce distress. Sessions include psychoeducation alongside coping tools to use between meetings.
She offers sessions in English and Czech. International clients are not accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking steps.
How Klara uses different approaches in online sessions
Client-centred therapy centres on giving a person time to talk and be heard. The counsellor reflects what they hear and follows the person’s lead so clients can make sense of their own experiences. This approach helps with building trust and exploring difficult feelings such as grief or relationship stress.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses short exercises and practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of reacting. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and dealing with change.
Mindfulness therapy encourages simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It often involves brief practices to notice bodily sensations and breathing, which can help in moments of high stress.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Klara will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try techniques collaboratively. If something does not fit, she adapts the plan with the client rather than insisting on one route.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of meetings into study or work schedules, and the chance to meet without commuting. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work still involves the same conversations, skills practice and planning that happen in face-to-face counselling.
