About Jyotsana
BACP, NCPS. 11 years of professional experience in India and the United Kingdom. Jyotsana Gilmore helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and depression using approaches she lists in her practice.
She works in straightforward counselling terms. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practising ways to manage mood and reactions. She names Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Existential Therapy among her approaches.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. This includes grief, trauma and abuse, addiction issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger and career problems. She also notes work on attachment and abandonment issues, blended family and communication problems, codependency and domestic violence related matters.
Jyotsana has worked across different cultural settings, beginning her work in India and continuing in the UK. That experience informs how she listens and responds to cultural and personal context in sessions. She offers counselling in English and accepts international clients.
To start she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location. Prospective clients are invited to use the See online counselling options button to begin.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by building willingness to face difficult experiences while taking practical steps forward. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-directive stance where the counsellor listens and reflects so the client can find their own solutions; this approach supports people wanting a conversational, exploratory style. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then agree a plan that may draw on one or more methods. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as counselling progresses.
If you are considering online sessions confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical benefits often include fitting appointments around work and family commitments, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online counselling to make regular sessions easier to attend, while still focusing on the same therapeutic tasks as in-person work.
