About Jyotsana
Jyotsana Gilmore is a BACP and NCPS credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She has worked in both India and the UK and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression and motivation. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma, grief and the practical strains of parenting and work.
Jyotsana uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is troubling them. Sessions focus on clear steps and honest reflection rather than jargon. She aims to help clients make sense of sudden life changes and long-term struggles alike.
Her background includes work in different cultural settings, which she draws on when people talk about identity, belonging or feeling stuck between expectations. She listens for the patterns that keep repeating and helps people try alternative responses.
Therapeutic methods she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Client-Centred approaches. These tools are used to tackle anxiety, mood problems, addictive behaviours and relationship difficulties in everyday terms.
Many young adults find her approach useful when dealing with first jobs, changing relationships, study pressures or feeling behind peers. She encourages practical steps and short-term goals while also addressing deeper issues such as abandonment, attachment and body image where relevant.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit your values. It helps when rigid thinking or avoidance is keeping you stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers simple strategies to break cycles of anxiety or low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on open listening and non-directive support to help people talk through what matters most to them.Working out which method suits best is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals, preferences and practical needs, and they will try different ways of working together to find the best fit. It is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
