About Klara

Klara Sharples helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem, using both direct and non-directive ways of working based on each person’s preferences. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in the United Kingdom.

Klara studied psychology at university and has focused much of her work on grief and trauma. She has experience supporting people who feel stuck in sadness or overwhelmed by loss, and she uses practical coping strategies alongside explanation of how common reactions to trauma and bereavement can be. Sessions include talking through experiences and learning skills to manage strong emotions.

Her approach draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas for changing thoughts and behaviour, and mindfulness techniques to manage stress. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed ways of working where appropriate. Klara adjusts how direct or exploratory a session is to fit what a person needs that day.

She can guide clients through building self-understanding about the past so they can feel steadier in the present. Practical psychoeducation and coping tools are offered so people can try small changes between sessions. The emphasis is on clear, straightforward work and steady progress.

Sessions are conducted in English and Czech. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, people use the counsellor directory's matching process to book an initial session and set goals together.

How Klara uses talking therapies online

Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience, helping them to reflect on feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want a steady, non-directive space to talk and make sense of difficult experiences.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. It is useful for worries, unhelpful thinking and everyday coping skills.

Mindfulness techniques involve simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and bring steadiness during strong emotions. These practices can complement talking work and short exercises are often used between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and can change as the person's needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when a quick session is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and exercises to suit each session.
