Klara Sharples, BACP

Klara Sharples is a fully qualified grief and trauma therapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who combines professional training with a compassionate, client-focused style. She holds a degree in Psychology and BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on both direct and non-directive methods to meet each person where they are.

Klara has worked closely with people facing anxiety, loss, stress and bereavement, offering clear guidance and practical coping strategies alongside psychoeducation to help clients make sense of difficult experiences. She pays particular attention to the impact of childhood trauma and attachment-related issues, and she supports clients as they explore their past in order to live more fully in the present.

In therapy she aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental environment that encourages self-understanding and gradual change. Sessions can include structured tools or a more exploratory conversation depending on individual preference, and Klara emphasises collaboration so that goals and methods reflect the client’s needs.

Her approach blends empathy with skillful intervention to help clients build resilience, process loss, and develop more effective ways of coping with life changes and relationship challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Klara Sharples

Klara draws on trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and client-centered approaches to support people through loss, anxiety and life transitions. Trauma-focused therapy offers targeted ways to address the effects of past traumatic events and build skills for processing difficult memories, which can be helpful for clients coping with abuse, attachment wounds or bereavement. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, providing practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-centered therapy prioritises the client’s experience, offering empathic listening and a collaborative space in which a person’s own insights guide the pace and direction of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Klara works collaboratively with each person to choose or adapt methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. She combines structured techniques and open conversation so the plan evolves with the client.

Online therapy with Klara is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and they allow clients to engage in a way that feels most comfortable while still receiving support from a registered professional.
