About Jyotsana
Counsellor Jyotsana Gilmore is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner with 11 years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and has supported people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression and motivation issues.
Jyotsana trained and practised in India before continuing her work in the UK. She uses a mix of commonly used approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In sessions she focuses on helping people name what is troubling them and try straightforward ways to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns. These include grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career stress. She also supports people facing family-related strains, parenting pressures, and complex issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency and separation.
Sessions aim to look at patterns that cause distress and at small changes that make daily life easier. Jyotsana explains ideas simply and uses practical exercises drawn from CBT and ACT when helpful. DBT skills may be used to build emotional regulation and communication tools.
People who choose to work with her can expect calm, clear explanations and a practical focus in sessions. She asks about current problems, discusses options, and works with each person to set realistic short-term steps. For international clients or those in the UK she accepts enquiries in English.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with major life changes.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can make sense of their experience. It is useful when someone wants space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as sessions move forward.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, require less travel and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people take part from wherever they are, including international locations, and can help keep appointments consistent around work or family commitments.
