About Jyotsana

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS credentials and 11 years of experience. She welcomes people who are nervous about starting therapy and aims to make the first step easier. Her work is practical and straightforward, with a focus on everyday problems that weigh people down.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Relationship concerns, intimacy issues and codependency appear often in her work. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and addiction-related problems. Sessions cover life changes such as divorce, parenting strain and career uncertainty.

Her approach combines several well-known methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Client-Centred and Existential ideas shape the way she listens and explores meaning with each person.

Jyotsana draws on experience from practising in India and the United Kingdom. She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly. Practical coping strategies and small, achievable steps are often part of the work.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. If you are looking for a counsellor who focuses on real-life concerns and clear next steps, she may be a good match.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and values, then take small steps that move them towards what matters. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing new responses through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress management. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people make sense of their lives.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan over time. This means the methods used can change as needs and preferences become clearer.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain consistency during life changes. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use these benefits to support steady progress without promising a particular outcome.
