About Jyotsana
Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor who uses warm, person-centred work alongside practical therapy methods. She draws on over 11 years of experience in India and the United Kingdom to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship worries and low self-esteem. She keeps sessions straightforward.
People can expect to talk about what matters to them and try small, practical steps between meetings. The aim is to make everyday life feel a bit easier and more manageable, not to rush big changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes a mix of talking and skills-based approaches. That means conversations that listen first, then ideas from therapies such as cognitive behavioural work and acceptance-based methods to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Jyotsana also draws on approaches that focus on emotional regulation and personal values.
These methods can help when people are dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, sleep or eating problems, and the stress that comes with parenting or work changes. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and holds NCPS credentials.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients as well as people in the United Kingdom. The tone of her practice is calm, respectful and collaborative. If someone is unsure how to begin, she encourages a simple first step: start a conversation, outline your main concern, and see if the approach feels like a good fit.

Approach-focused online counselling and flexible session formats
Jyotsana often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance-based methods. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens openly and follows the person’s lead to create a trusting space. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, offering practical steps to test and change them. Acceptance-based approaches focus on values and learning to live with difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try approaches that feel suitable. This collaborative way helps tailor sessions so they match what the person wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, while phone sessions can fit a short break at work or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and location constraints.
