About Jyotsana
Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She draws on practical, person-focused approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult things.
She began her work in India and later practised in the UK, carrying experience from both settings into sessions. People come to her for help with relationship strain, coping with life changes, grief, addictions and trauma.
Background and approach
She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, career problems and intimacy-related issues. Jyotsana uses a mix of approaches such as Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred methods. That blend lets her match practical exercises with deeper conversations about meaning, values and choices.
Sessions typically focus on small, achievable steps and clearer ways to manage thoughts and feelings. She aims to make the therapy space open and non-judgemental so clients can share honestly. The BACP credential is shown as BACP and the NCPS credential as NCPS.
These are the credentials she lists. Starting therapy can feel daunting. Jyotsana encourages a gentle first step and helps people find a pace that suits them.
Conversations are geared to what matters to each person and to realistic goals they want to reach.

Online support
How different approaches work online and in sessions
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility and helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by life changes. It encourages honest reflection about values and what matters most in day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance of difficult thoughts with actions guided by personal values, and it is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and building a trusting relationship so people can explore feelings at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then choose methods together. That collaborative view means techniques can be adapted as therapy progresses to fit what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people see facial cues and run longer sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing reflections between appointments or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life or travel while keeping the same therapeutic approaches available.
