About Jyotsana

Jyotsana Gilmore is a BACP and NCPS credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She began her work in India and has continued in the UK, helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, low self-esteem and depression. She notes the step of starting therapy takes courage and encourages people who reach out.

In sessions she focuses on open, non-judgemental conversation where clients can talk through feelings and practical problems. She uses straightforward talking and reflective listening to help people make sense of what triggers their anger or low mood. The aim is to bring clearer thinking to recurring reactions and everyday stresses.

Her work draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Those approaches are used to notice unhelpful patterns, try small behavioural experiments, and build skills for handling intense feelings like anger or frustration. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas are also part of the mix when emotional regulation skills are needed.

She has experience across a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including trauma, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues and parenting strain. This breadth means sessions can focus on the immediate problem or on longer-standing patterns that feed into repeated conflicts or resentments.

People who contact her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. The work is collaborative - expectations and goals are discussed openly so each person knows what to try between sessions.

Therapy approaches used and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful when anger or recurrent stress gets in the way of the life someone wants to lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple experiments to change patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or angry reactions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and agree on a plan together. That shared approach means techniques can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can still cover the same topics and practical skills online as in person, so the focus remains on learning tools to manage anger, reduce stress, and improve day-to-day coping without promising a particular service.
