About Klara

Klara Sharples is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She works with clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, adoption and foster care related worries, and the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse. Klara offers calm, non-judgemental support in English and Czech.

Klara has a degree in psychology and three years of practice as a BACP counsellor. She uses a mix of direct and non-direct ways of working depending on what each person prefers. That means some sessions focus on practical coping steps and others give space to talk things through at a gentler pace.

In practical terms she helps people understand past experiences so they can feel steadier now. Sessions often include simple psychoeducation and coping strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. She also talks through communication and relationship patterns that affect day-to-day life.

Klara describes herself as a supportive guide and a cheerleader for change. She aims to treat clients with respect and dignity while helping them build strength and resilience. Her approach balances emotional exploration with clear, usable tools that people can try between sessions.

If you are considering therapy she asks you to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time to meet according to availability.

How Klara adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the client sets the pace and direction. It helps people who need someone to listen and reflect back what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it tends to suit people wanting concrete tools for anxiety, low mood or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Klara works collaboratively to see what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as the work evolves. Conversations about approach happen early and get revisited so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to be on camera every time. It also lets the therapist guide practical exercises and offer strategies that clients can try between sessions, so the work continues outside the appointment.
