About Jyotsana
Jyotsana Gilmore offers gentle, person-focused counselling that puts what matters to the client first. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find manageable ways forward.
She trained and began work in India before continuing her practice in the United Kingdom, building 11 years of experience. That background informs a calm, patient style and an openness to different life stories.
Background and approach
She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed exactly as supplied. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting space, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas are used when helpful to develop coping skills and emotional balance. Jyotsana helps people facing relationship strain, issues with intimacy, grief, or the impact of trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with addiction, bipolar mood issues, sleep or eating concerns, career stress and parenting challenges.
Additional focuses include attachment and body image concerns, codependency and communication problems. Her style is straightforward and supportive. She encourages small, realistic steps and works with each person to set goals that fit their life.

How Jyotsana works online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and supports a person to find their own solutions, which suits issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to test unhelpful thinking and develop new coping routines for anxiety, sleep or eating problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they choose or combine methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care when life is hectic or travel is difficult.
