Jyotsana Gilmore, BACP, NCPS

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor with more than 11 years of experience working in both India and the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. Her approach aims to make talking about difficult feelings feel straightforward and manageable.

She creates an open, non-judgemental space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people notice patterns that get in the way and try small, practical changes. She guides people through steps that feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Her background includes years of direct practice supporting people through life changes, grief, addiction concerns and trauma. That experience informs a flexible approach that draws on different methods depending on what a person needs. She uses plain language so people understand what they are trying and why.

Clients can expect a collaborative process focused on real-life skills for coping, communication and emotional regulation. The work often includes looking at values, practising new ways of responding to stress, and building clearer routines around sleep and eating when needed. The aim is to help people feel steadier in daily life.

Jyotsana holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She welcomes conversations in English and accepts international clients. If someone is ready to begin, she invites them to take the first step and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps that line up with what matters. It is useful for stress, midlife crossroads and coping with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as things change over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and checking in without leaving work or home. Online work can also make it easier to use short, focused sessions when needed, or to meet without travel time. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help tailor online sessions to what suits a person’s day-to-day life.
