About Klara

Klara Sharples is a counsellor who supports men with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She also helps people facing self-esteem struggles, life changes, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Klara’s approach is straightforward and warm; she aims to help clients understand their past and build coping skills for the present.

Klara uses a mix of direct and non-direct ways of working, chosen with the person in the room. She offers practical coping strategies and shares psychoeducation to make symptoms easier to understand. Sessions involve talking through experiences, noticing thought patterns, and trying small steps that can shift daily life.

Her background includes a degree in Psychology and three years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom.

Klara often supports people dealing with bereavement, trauma, chronic illness, body image and parenting strains. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, attachment or abandonment issues, and communication problems that affect relationships. Her aim is to help clients make sense of difficult events and find practical ways to feel stronger.

The first part of therapy focuses on understanding what matters most to the client. After that Klara helps set small, achievable goals and checks progress together. She describes herself as a supportive guide who stays alongside people as they work towards positive change.

How Klara’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. It aims to create an accepting atmosphere where clients can talk openly about stress, grief or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce rumination and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Klara will talk with each person about their needs and goals and decide together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work. It can also reduce the need to be on camera for the whole session if that helps someone engage. Many people find these practical features help them attend more consistently and apply strategies between sessions.
