About Jareeda
Jareeda Walters-Leatherbarrow is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. She works with clients facing big life changes and those needing support after loss. Her approach aims to make the first step feel less daunting and more doable.
She draws on a few practical ways of working to suit different needs. Sessions focus on listening closely to what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Conversations look at feelings, patterns in relationships, and small steps that can change day-to-day life. Jareeda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people notice and name core emotions and how these shape relationships and choices. She also applies attachment-based thinking to look at how early bonds continue to affect trust and closeness.
Other approaches she may use include client-centred methods and elements of cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour work to teach coping skills. She holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and brings three years of professional practice along with over a decade of informal mental health support experience.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. In meetings she aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they feel. Work tends to be collaborative - identifying goals together and choosing the practical steps that fit daily life.
Jareeda emphasises encouragement and realistic change rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect their relationships and decisions. Online sessions can use this work to help clients understand patterns and try new ways of responding in everyday life.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current trust and closeness. In remote sessions this can mean talking through patterns and practising new emotional responses that feel safer and more connected.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard without judgement and on building understanding at the client’s pace. This approach supports people who need steady, empathic listening as they consider changes or difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as things progress.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and easier fitting into a busy day. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel.
