About Klara
Klara Sharples is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She also supports those struggling with relationships, self-esteem, parenting concerns and career stress. Klara works in English and Czech and welcomes clients based in the United Kingdom.
Klara uses both direct and non-direct ways of working, adjusting to what a person needs in the room. Sessions often include talking through past experiences, learning coping strategies and simple psychoeducation to make day-to-day life easier.
Background and approach
She aims to be warm, respectful and non-judgemental in every meeting. Her background includes a degree in psychology and three years of clinical experience supporting people with bereavement, chronic stress and anxiety. That experience informs how she listens and the practical steps she suggests.
In therapy Klara helps people understand how earlier hurts affect their present life so they can begin to feel steadier. She blends trauma-focused methods with client-centred and solution-focused ideas to create clear, manageable goals. Many clients work on improving communication, body image, or coping with illness and long-term health conditions.
Work with Klara typically involves regular sessions that build skills over time. She offers guidance on forming new habits, practicing mindfulness techniques and using cognitive strategies to reduce unhelpful thinking. The emphasis is on small changes that add up to better daily coping and a more hopeful outlook.

How Klara adapts trauma-informed and practical approaches online
Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the impact of past traumatic events and helping people process difficult memories. It can help those who carry pain from abuse, loss or other traumatic experiences to reduce their day-to-day distress and build safer ways of coping.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and empathy. This approach helps people feel understood and supported while they explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear steps people can practise between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Klara will discuss options with each person and make decisions together based on needs, goals and what feels comfortable. The collaborative process means approaches can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a full face-to-face conversation, phone can suit those with limited bandwidth, and chat or messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These choices make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and day-to-day life.
