Klara Sharples , BACP

Klara Sharples is a qualified grief and trauma therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. With a degree in Psychology and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings three years of professional experience supporting people through loss, anxiety and stressful life transitions.

Klara has particular experience working with childhood trauma and offers ways to understand and process those early experiences so they stop shaping daily life in unhelpful ways. Her practice blends direct and non-direct approaches, adapting style and pace to each person's preferences so sessions feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Clients who work with Klara explore their experiences to make sense of painful emotions and to begin healing. She offers practical coping strategies and psychoeducation to help people manage symptoms, build resilience and feel more able to face each day. Klara aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where people can increase self-understanding, recover strength and invite positive change into their lives.

Her approach supports those dealing with bereavement, anxiety, stress and related concerns, helping clients move from surviving difficult memories to living with greater presence and purpose.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences so their emotional impact decreases over time. It helps clients who are struggling with the effects of abuse, loss or other overwhelming events by working through memories and learning coping skills to reduce distress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative relationship where the therapist offers empathy, acceptance and nonjudgmental listening. This approach helps people explore their feelings and values at their own pace, making it useful for grief, relationship concerns and self-esteem work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical for anxiety, stress and mood symptoms and often includes skill-building exercises that clients can practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Klara works with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single technique.

Online work by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from the place that feels most comfortable. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different session styles while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt their approach to each client.
