Jyotsana Gilmore , BACP, NCPS

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS credentials and 11 years of experience in both India and the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Her work includes helping with career pressure, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges connected to parenting and family roles.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are conversational and centred on the person's goals. Jyotsana listens closely to what matters most and adapts the work to each person's pace.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client‑Centred methods. She uses practical exercises and simple tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also uses parts of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and existential ideas when they fit the issue.

Jyotsana has worked across different settings in India and the UK over more than a decade. That experience informs a down-to-earth style that aims to make therapy understandable and useful. She supports LGBT concerns and addresses a wide range of personal and relational problems.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for clients inside and outside the UK. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to connect people with a suitable therapist and to schedule sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and life changes by teaching simple skills to stay present and act despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses structured exercises to shift patterns that maintain depression, anxiety or low self‑esteem. Client‑Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and respect so people can find their own solutions and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that suit the person's style, and adjust the work as things change. This means the plan can evolve over the first few sessions until it fits the client's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation for in‑depth work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, live chat allows short exchanges during the day and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
