About Jyotsana
Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS credentials and 11 years of practice across India and the United Kingdom. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship worries. Her work is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people take the next step when life feels overwhelming.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak honestly about thoughts and feelings. Conversations are plain and direct, with space for practical problem solving alongside emotional support.
Background and approach
People often come for help with motivation, confidence, coping with change, grief, addiction and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach draws on several psychological methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work. These provide ways to notice difficult thoughts, test unhelpful patterns and build new skills for day-to-day life.
She combines these with longer-term reflection when clients want to understand deeper patterns such as attachment or abandonment issues. Over her career she has supported people through career stress, parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties and recovery from trauma and abuse. She also works with issues connected to LGBT identity and related pressures.
Her style is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. To begin, she encourages a simple first step of reaching out. The initial stages focus on understanding what matters to the person, then agreeing achievable aims and practical steps to make things feel more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on valued actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by encouraging small, practical steps that match what matters to the person.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear strategies for testing unhelpful beliefs and building new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating problems.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises listening and understanding. It gives people space to talk without judgement and can be especially helpful when someone needs to build self-esteem or work through relationship and identity questions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and then recommend techniques that suit your situation. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a therapist with specific experience, such as work with LGBT-related pressures, even when they live some distance away.
