About Jareeda
Jareeda Walters-Leatherbarrow is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, family problems, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to help people feel more able to cope and make clear choices. She has three years of professional experience and a longer personal history supporting others' mental health.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is causing distress and what might help next.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building small skills that make everyday life easier. Jareeda draws on several approaches to match what each person needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her work often addresses attachment and relationship patterns that affect mood and confidence.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, family of origin issues, communication problems, and the emotional impacts of illness or disability. Practical coping strategies are used alongside reflection about meaning and life direction. Jareeda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, depending on what suits the client. She welcomes those facing fertility struggles, eating or body image concerns, codependency and commitment worries, or the aftermath of separation.
The aim is to help people feel more able to manage difficult feelings and move towards choices that fit their values.

Online support
How Jareeda blends approaches for online work
Existential therapy helps people think about meaning, choice and direction in life. It encourages honest conversation about values, fears and what matters when life shifts, which can help with major changes and grief.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and connection. It helps people notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead. This approach supports people to find their own answers and to feel accepted while they work through difficult feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Jareeda works collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person’s goals, needs and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts the plan if something isn’t working.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
