About Jyotsana

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with more than 11 years of professional experience across India and the UK. She focuses on common worries such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and she also supports people facing relationship strain and motivation difficulties. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to start.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sessions are grounded in client-centred work that aims to let people speak freely without feeling judged. She uses practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build meaningful action.

Jyotsana has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or parenting stress. She also helps with attachment and communication problems, codependency and issues that follow separation or divorce. Her experience covers both everyday pressures and deeper life changes.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person, then offers tools that can be tried between appointments. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. Practical strategies and small actions are used alongside reflection and emotional support.

She is registered with BACP and NCPS and offers therapy in English. International clients are accepted. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and aims to create space for honest conversation. This approach suits people who need time to talk, be heard and find their own direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps towards those values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work and happens together with the therapist. Jyotsana will help weigh preferences, goals and what feels most useful. That way a plan is created that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting appointments around work or family routines, making shorter check-ins possible, and removing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular contact while trying out techniques for sleep, stress and daily routines. Registered or accredited professionals can guide adjustments so tools and actions fit everyday life without demanding major changes.
