About Klara

Klara Sharples works with people facing money-related stress alongside other common concerns such as anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She helps clients who feel stuck by guiding them to understand their thoughts and build coping strategies. Sessions are conversational and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people make small, practical changes in day-to-day life.

Klara uses a mix of approaches and adapts to each person’s needs. She blends direct guidance with a non-directive style so the client leads when they prefer to and gets more structure when they want practical tools. That can mean talking through painful memories, practising breathing and attention exercises, or setting short goals to test change.

She trained to degree level in psychology and holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing. Klara has three years' experience working mainly with grief, trauma, anxiety and stress. Her work includes helping people affected by loss, family problems and parenting challenges.

In sessions she offers psychoeducation and coping techniques that people can try between meetings. She explains ideas plainly and checks what works for each person. The focus is on understanding how past experiences shape present reactions and on finding ways to feel more able in daily life.

Sessions are offered in English and Czech. Klara does not take international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Klara’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The counsellor reflects what the person says and helps them find their own solutions, which suits work on self-esteem, relationships and grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses simple exercises and experiments to test new ways of coping; this is useful for anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Klara will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try first. That decision is based on the client's needs, goals and preferences and can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or letting people choose whether to use video or audio depending on how they feel. It also supports continuing work when life circumstances make attending in person harder, while allowing the same therapeutic approaches to be used across sessions.
