About Jareeda
Jareeda Walters-Leatherbarrow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She brings three years of professional practice alongside a decade of informal mental health support. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and more able to cope with day-to-day pressures.
She creates a calm space where people can talk through worries without feeling judged.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Jareeda uses straightforward language and works at a pace set by the person she is supporting. Her work draws on Systemic therapy alongside Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working.
These approaches help look at relationships, past patterns and the person’s own resources. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools are used when helpful for managing anxiety or strong emotions.
Jareeda has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control problems, and coping after disasters. She also helps with divorce and separation, eating and food-related issues, family of origin problems and fertility concerns. She works in English and accepts international clients.
Sessions are offered in several online formats so people can choose what fits their life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Jareeda aims to make that step feel more manageable and hopeful.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Jareeda uses Systemic therapy to look at how relationships and patterns affect daily life. This approach helps people see how family, work and social links influence feelings and decisions, and it is useful when problems connect to interactions with others.Attachment-Based work helps people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. It can be helpful for those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues or patterns that repeat in relationships. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening and the person’s own goals, giving space for people to lead the pace and topics of sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as priorities shift.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lives. Video calls suit full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule regular contact and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
