Jyotsana Gilmore, BACP, NCPS

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS accreditation and over 11 years of practice across India and the United Kingdom. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem and depression. Her approach aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful. She invites people to talk about what matters to them without judgement.

She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, practical steps that fit daily life. Techniques may include noticing unhelpful patterns, testing out different behaviours, and building simple coping routines.

Her background includes work with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with body image, attachment or abandonment concerns, codependency, and relationship communication problems. Jyotsana brings experience from both community and clinic settings in two countries.

The style tends to be collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps identify goals and ways to move forward. Sessions aim to balance emotional support with skills that help between appointments.

Jyotsana accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. If someone wants to begin, she encourages using the site’s continue button on this profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments, which can help with low mood, anxiety and coping skills. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, offering non-judgemental listening and support to help clarify goals and build confidence.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest ways to proceed. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy unfolds.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow brief check-ins when full sessions are hard to arrange. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins, while video sessions allow visual connection for body language and exercises. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt materials and exercises so they work well over distance, helping people practise skills between appointments.
