Klara Sharples, BACP

Klara Sharples helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems and major life changes. She also works with people concerned about self‑esteem, intimacy, parenting and issues linked to trauma or abuse. Klara uses approachable language and a calm presence to make it easier to talk about hard things.

She trained in psychology to university degree level and holds BACP registration. Klara blends direct and non‑directive ways of working. That means some sessions are more exploratory and gentle, while others are focused on practical steps and coping strategies when needed.

In sessions she will listen without judgement and help clients understand how past experiences affect their present. Conversations look at thoughts, feelings and everyday behaviours so people can start to notice change. She also offers psychoeducation and skill building to help with stress management and emotional regulation.

Klara has three years of professional experience supporting people through bereavement, anxiety and trauma. She draws on a mix of client‑centred methods and targeted tools to suit each person. The aim is to help clients feel stronger and more able to manage day‑to‑day challenges.

Her approach is collaborative: she works alongside clients to set goals and choose techniques that feel useful. Sessions emphasise practical coping, clearer self‑understanding and steps towards a more positive future. If someone is ready to start, Klara encourages a gentle first step and supports progress along the way.

How Klara uses practical approaches online

Client‑centred therapy places the client at the heart of sessions. It means the counsellor listens carefully and follows what matters most to the person. This approach is useful for people who need time to explore feelings and be heard without direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses clear techniques and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and ease anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Klara will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative planning helps make sure the way of working fits the issue and the individual.

Confirm the current session options before you book, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check‑in sessions when needed, and makes it possible to keep continuity if circumstances change. Many people find online sessions help them practise skills in real life between meetings and bring those experiences back into the room for discussion.
