About Klara
Counsellor Klara Sharples is a UK-based practitioner and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also helps with self-esteem, parenting concerns, LGBT issues and coping with life changes.
Klara trained in psychology at university and uses that background to explain things plainly. She combines direct and non-direct ways of working, choosing how to respond to each person rather than following one fixed method. Sessions include talking through recent events, looking at patterns from the past and learning simple coping strategies.
Her approach draws on client-centred listening alongside practical techniques from cognitive behavioural work. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used where they fit. Trauma-focused methods are offered for people carrying difficult or painful memories.
In a session Klara may offer short exercises, reflective questions and practical steps to try between meetings. She also provides psychoeducation about how stress and grief can affect thinking and feelings. The aim is to help people understand current patterns and find ways to feel steadier day to day.
Klara speaks English and Czech. She practises in the United Kingdom and works with adults on issues such as bereavement, abuse, body image, chronic illness and relationship breakdown. Before booking, people should confirm the current session options available.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing, reflects what she hears and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach suits those who need time to talk through loss, relationship strain or shifting life roles.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses short exercises and practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Klara will discuss options and together with the client agree which methods to try. That decision is guided by the person's goals, history and how they respond to different techniques.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or treatment commitments. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people continue therapy while managing other daily demands.
