Jareeda Walters-Leatherbarrow helps people facing stress, anxiety, family problems, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Jareeda speaks English and accepts international clients.

She aims to make the first step feel manageable. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation and building small changes that make life easier. She encourages people to name what matters and to try straightforward strategies between sessions.

Background and approach

Her background includes three years of professional practice alongside over a decade supporting others with mental health concerns. That mix gives her a balance of lived experience and recent clinical work. She draws on several well-known therapies to suit different situations.

In sessions she creates an open, non-judgemental space. People are invited to share thoughts and feelings at their own pace. The work can cover how past relationships still affect daily life and ways to manage strong emotions or unhelpful patterns.

Jareeda often helps people understand attachment and how it shapes relationships. She also uses practical, skills-based tools for managing anxiety and mood. The goal is to increase confidence, improve communication and support people through life transitions.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps identify whether she might be a good fit. From there people can schedule sessions and choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach helps people who notice recurring relationship difficulties or fears of abandonment by examining past bonds and their effect now. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing worry, low mood and clear day-to-day problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face from different locations, phone calls work well when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on consistent progress and practical help.
