About Jareeda
Jareeda Walters-Leatherbarrow helps people manage stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She is Jareeda and she presents a calm, approachable presence for those who are nervous about starting therapy. Jareeda trained and practised in the United Kingdom and holds BACP recognition.
She has three years of professional experience alongside over a decade of informal work supporting people with their mental health. This mix gives her practical knowledge of everyday struggles as well as clinical practice experience.
Background and approach
Her sessions are conversational and down to earth. She invites people to talk about what matters to them and listens without judgement. The focus is on helping people feel more in control, boosting confidence and finding workable ways to cope with loss and change.
Jareeda uses approaches that include attachment work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical skills and emotionally focused ideas. She draws on these to tailor each session to a person’s needs rather than applying a single method to everyone. People can expect clear, plain-language guidance and practical strategies to try between sessions.
Jareeda aims to help clients build resilience and make steady progress towards their goals. She also welcomes people from outside the United Kingdom who prefer online support. Starting therapy can feel daunting and Jareeda offers a steady, respectful space to begin that work together.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals, life situation and preferred pace. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats give flexibility for people with different schedules and needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
