About Klara
Klara Sharples is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, grief, relationship strain and self-esteem difficulties. She also helps with parenting concerns, career questions and issues related to trauma and abuse.
Klara uses a mix of direct and non-direct approaches depending on what each person prefers. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness-based methods. Sessions include practical coping strategies and psychoeducation to help manage symptoms and build new responses to difficult situations.
People who come to her for grief or trauma work will talk through past experiences and how those experiences affect daily life. Klara aims to help clients understand patterns that keep them stuck and to try different ways of responding. That includes noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour.
Her background includes a university degree in psychology and specific focus on loss, bereavement and childhood trauma. She also has experience supporting people with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family matters and fertility or fatherhood questions.
Klara offers sessions in English and Czech. She works with LGBT-related matters, body image, chronic illness and cancer-related concerns and practical problems such as communication breakdown or separation. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Clients may find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical steps such as noticing patterns of thinking, trying different responses and reviewing what works. Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of the session, with the counsellor offering reflective listening and support to help people clarify their own goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief, in-session practices and attention exercises to reduce rumination and increase present-moment noticing, which can help with stress and coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the options and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. If a client prefers not to be on camera, there are often quieter alternatives or shorter formats that still let work continue in a practical way.
