About Klara
Klara Sharples is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, parenting pressures and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also lists support for LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, career matters and family-related difficulties.
Klara keeps sessions straightforward. She uses both direct and non-directive approaches depending on what the client prefers. That may include exploring past experiences, discussing coping strategies, and offering psychoeducation about emotions and reactions.
She has experience helping people who feel stuck in sadness, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure how to manage life changes. Sessions often begin by mapping recent difficulties, then working on practical steps to reduce distress. She describes guiding clients through understanding their thoughts and feelings so they can feel steadier day to day.
Klara draws on several therapy styles, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural strategies, mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques. She may also use short-term, solution-focused approaches when that fits the client's goals. The emphasis is on finding what helps the individual manage their situation more effectively.
She can support parents and adults dealing with family and parenting-related strain, including issues like adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, fatherhood concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Sessions use clear language and practical steps, with attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and everyday coping.
Sessions are offered in English and Czech. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client brings. It helps people feel understood and make sense of their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and anxiety.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that suit the person’s situation and change course if something feels unhelpful. The work is collaborative rather than directive.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and other commitments. They may allow shorter check-ins, sessions without being on camera, or appointments that avoid travel time. These practical arrangements can make it easier to keep consistent sessions while managing everyday life.
