About Klara

Klara Sharples is a counsellor who helps people facing grief, trauma, anxiety and major life changes. She works with stress, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem struggles and parenting concerns. Klara supports people living with long-term illness, chronic pain and fertility or cancer-related challenges, and she also helps with adoption, attachment and family-origin problems.

Klara trained in psychology at university and holds BACP registration. She uses a mix of direct and non-directive ways of working, choosing the style that fits each person. Sessions often include talking through experiences, learning coping strategies and using simple psychoeducation to make daily life easier.

Her approach aims to help people understand how past experiences shape the present. Clients are guided to notice thoughts and patterns, and to try practical steps to feel stronger. She offers tools for managing panic, low mood and relationship conflict as well as support through bereavement and loss.

Klara describes herself as warm and non-judgemental. She focuses on building trust and helping people find clearer choices. Work can include short-term solution-focused work, mindfulness practices and trauma-focused techniques when needed.

Sessions are conducted in English and Czech. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and to make their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical steps to test new ways of coping; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find that online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduces travel time and lets them use shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness exercises and practical tools between sessions to support everyday coping.
