About Jyotsana
Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom and has 11 years of professional experience working in India and the UK. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship strain. She also supports parents and adults dealing with parenting pressures and family-related concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation to understand what is happening at home and in daily life. Sessions focus on what the person is struggling with now, practical coping skills, and clearer ways to communicate. Techniques are drawn from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Jyotsana pays attention to how life transitions and past hurt affect present choices. She offers work on grief, trauma and intimacy-related worries, along with issues such as addiction, sleeping and eating difficulties. Additional topics she has focused on include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family adjustments, codependency and caregiver stress.
Her style includes client-centred elements and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy where helpful. That means sessions can include problem solving, values-based planning and emotion regulation practice. The emphasis is on clear steps a person can try between meetings.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress when someone wants practical, value-led steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and trial approaches to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted based on what helps in day-to-day life. Confirm the session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, childcare or travel. They can also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited or a quieter, less demanding session when energy is low. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to help sessions fit into everyday routines, and the counsellor will discuss practical arrangements when you first get in touch.Areas of focus
