Klara SharplesBACP

Klara Sharples is a BACP counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting questions, self‑esteem and coping with major life changes. Klara writes plainly and meets people where they are, offering respectful, non‑judgemental support.

She trained in psychology at university level and has three years of professional experience. Klara uses a mix of direct and non‑directive ways of working, choosing what fits each person rather than following a single formula. Sessions include practical coping strategies and simple psychoeducation to help people feel stronger day to day.

Klara often helps people make sense of how early life experiences affect how they feel now. Work can include talking through painful memories, building steady routines for coping, and noticing thought patterns that make anxiety or low mood worse. She aims to help people feel more present and able to move towards a more positive future.

Her approach is collaborative. Klara listens first, then suggests tools such as mindfulness practices, short cognitive techniques or solution‑focused steps to try between sessions. She explains things clearly and checks in about what is useful.

People who choose Klara can expect a calm, supportive space and practical guidance. She offers conversations that are rooted in respect and dignity, and she stays alongside people while they work through change.

How Klara uses therapy approaches online

Client‑centred work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals for change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches simple exercises to shift them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Klara will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, combining approaches where that suits the issue and the person's preferences. The choice of tools is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

This profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around life commitments and appointments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. It also makes it possible to use guided mindfulness exercises, brief cognitive tasks and solution‑focused planning between meetings to support steady progress.
