Jareeda Walters-Leatherbarrow
Compassionate support for life transitions
About Jareeda
Jareeda Walters-Leatherbarrow helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She offers steady support for people trying to rebuild confidence or find direction after loss or change. Jareeda is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.
Her style is warm and direct. She aims to make sessions feel like a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly. Conversations focus on what is troubling the person now, and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Jareeda uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
Emotion-focused methods help people sit with and name painful feelings. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and disability, codependency, communication problems, eating and food-related concerns, fertility, and separation. These are woven into talks and exercises that relate to everyday life.
With three years of professional practice and over a decade of informal supporting experience, Jareeda aims to help people feel heard and more in control. She encourages small, achievable changes and helps people notice progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current feelings. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports steps towards feeling safer and more connected. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It offers practical tools for changing unhelpful thinking and building new routines that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit your situation. This collaborative approach allows techniques to be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions let you see facial expressions and use visual tools, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is an issue, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping contact regular and practical.
