Jyotsana Gilmore, BACP, NCPS

Jyotsana Gilmore is a credentialed counsellor based in the United Kingdom with more than 11 years of professional experience working across both India and the UK. She draws on a background that spans cultures and clinical settings to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, motivation blocks, low self-esteem and confidence concerns, and depression. Jyotsana aims to build an atmosphere where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, and she prioritizes empathy and respect in each session.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate professional training and membership in recognised counselling bodies and a commitment to established practice standards. In her work she encourages clients to recognise the courage in seeking help and to take manageable steps toward clearer thinking and stronger coping skills. Prospective clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental approach that focuses on understanding each person’s situation and collaborating on practical ways forward.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, and Jyotsana acknowledges that decision while offering supportive guidance to help clients feel more confident in the process and in their own capacity for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jyotsana uses well-established methods tailored to each person’s situation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with their values while accepting difficult feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-exploration - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and addressing relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often used for anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jyotsana works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust techniques as needed so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into daily life. These options allow clients to connect from their chosen location, choose interaction styles that feel most comfortable, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
