Klara Sharples
Compassionate counselling for trauma and life changes
About Klara
Klara Sharples helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with those coping with life changes, parenting strains, intimacy concerns and trauma. Klara also supports people dealing with career questions, self-esteem, LGBT issues and family-related struggles.
Klara uses an approachable style that mixes direct guidance with a non-directive, client-led pace. She listens first, then suggests practical coping strategies and explanations. Sessions aim to make things simpler and more manageable, not more complicated.
Background and approach
Her background includes a degree in Psychology and three years of professional experience. Klara holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide ethical practice and professional standards. She draws on a few evidence-informed methods to tailor sessions to each person.
In therapy Klara will help people understand how past events affect the present. She offers tools for managing symptoms and short exercises to try between sessions. Psychoeducation and clear coping techniques are part of the work when they suit a person’s goals.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Klara encourages small steps and checks progress regularly. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can explore difficult topics and build more confidence and resilience.
Clients may bring issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment or blended family matters, body image, chronic illness, communication problems, divorce, domestic violence, fatherhood concerns, fertility and forgiveness. Klara adapts the focus to each person’s situation and priorities.

Approaches that suit online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helping them make sense of feelings and choices, which can be useful for relationship issues, self-esteem and grief.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, and works well for stress and practical coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Klara will talk through options and try different methods to see what fits a person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins, brief reflections or exercises between sessions. These formats help make therapy easier to fit around family, work and daily life.
