About Jyotsana

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor who draws on person-centred and evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She brings 11 years of professional experience working in both India and the United Kingdom. Jyotsana writes in plain language and aims for a calm, non-judgemental space where concerns can be spoken about openly.

Her work often focuses on practical steps to improve confidence, motivation and relationships. She supports people facing grief, trauma and life changes, and she addresses issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, addiction, anger and bipolar challenges.

Background and approach

Parenting worries are also among the topics she helps people talk through. Jyotsana uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred conversation. She adapts techniques to what each person needs and prefers, combining skills training with reflective discussion.

This helps turn insight into small, manageable actions. Clients can expect straightforward goals and simple tools to practise between sessions. Sessions are conversational and focused on what feels most helpful in day-to-day life.

The aim is to build coping strategies people can use when stress or painful emotions arise. Jyotsana holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has eleven years of experience across different settings. She offers sessions in English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

If you are ready to begin, she encourages taking the first step and reaching out.

Online support

Practical therapy methods for online support

Jyotsana commonly combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and making changes that matter. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for depression, worries and sleep or eating concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and preferences to decide which methods to try first. Plans can change as you make progress, and sessions aim to be collaborative so you can test tools and give feedback about what helps.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video suits fuller sessions with visual contact, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, short reflections or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, childcare or travel commitments.
