Jyotsana Gilmore, BACP, NCPS

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with over 11 years of professional experience. She draws on her background working in both India and the UK to support people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem and motivation. She aims to create an open space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside time to reflect on what matters most. The aim is to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Jyotsana uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy among others. She adapts strategies so they fit everyday life and the problems a person brings to the room. Her experience covers a wide range of concerns, from grief, trauma and addiction to sleep and eating issues, career stress and intimacy-related difficulties. She also works with people dealing with family and parenting strains, anger and communication problems. Getting started involves a short matching process to find a good fit. Jyotsana encourages people to take the small first step and says that reaching out shows real courage. Practical scheduling is arranged after the initial matching step so sessions can be fitted into daily life.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes where learning to live with difficult thoughts matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on practical strategies to change thought and behaviour patterns. It often helps with depression, worry and sleep or eating difficulties by teaching clear skills and experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people outside the immediate area to work with registered or accredited professionals in the United Kingdom. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine and communication needs.
