About Jyotsana
Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She draws on her background working in both India and the UK to help people deal with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She encourages people to take the first step and offers a welcoming space to begin talking through difficult feelings.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens without judging and helps people identify small, manageable steps to feel better. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and aim to build clearer choices and more helpful habits.
Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, motivation, sleeping and eating difficulties, addiction and grief. She also supports people coping with big life changes and those working through trauma and abuse. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is included among the areas she addresses.
Jyotsana uses several approaches to match what each person needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy. She explains what each approach involves and works together with clients to choose what fits best.
Her practice is aimed at straightforward, down-to-earth help. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to move forward. People who are nervous about starting therapy are invited to take the first step and complete the initial matching process to arrange a session.
How these therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and on choosing actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, depression and life changes by building clear values and small steps towards them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people spot unhelpful patterns and practise different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods could help most. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing a session during a shorter break. Different session styles suit different needs, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor length and focus to work with practical constraints and everyday responsibilities, helping people try the approaches above in ways that fit their routine.
