Jyotsana Gilmore, BACP, NCPS

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with over 11 years of experience across India and the UK. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that affect how people feel and act. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about what is worrying them.

Her practice often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, low self-esteem, motivation, grieving, and coping with life changes. Addictions, intimacy-related matters and sleep or eating difficulties are also within her areas of focus.

Jyotsana draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to look at thinking patterns and make small, practical changes.

She also works from a client-centred perspective, offering a listening style that prioritises each person’s experience. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and existential ideas inform work with strong emotions, identity questions and difficult life decisions.

Clients can expect a conversational, down-to-earth tone in sessions and practical suggestions for everyday life. Jyotsana encourages small steps that fit into daily routines and helps people build habits that support wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches shape online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It focuses on small, meaningful steps and can be useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking that affect mood and behaviour and suggests practical tools to change unhelpful habits. Client-Centred Therapy offers a listening, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. This collaborative process helps decide which methods to use and how to adapt them to everyday life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also mean shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and conversations to suit each person’s routine and goals, helping therapy feel practical and usable.
