Jyotsana Gilmore, BACP, NCPS

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience in India and the UK. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing life changes and struggles with motivation and confidence.

Jyotsana offers straightforward, conversational therapy. She helps people talk through what is worrying them and spot patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Sessions are aimed at making small, practical changes people can use between meetings. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred work when these fit the persons needs.

Her background includes extended practice in both India and the UK, which informs her understanding of different cultural pressures and family expectations. That experience shapes how she listens for issues like grief, trauma, addiction and codependency and how these affect daily life. Jyotsana pays attention to how beliefs about duty, control and self-worth show up in relationships and at work.

People she sees often bring concerns about intimacy, parenting strain, career stress and problems with sleep or eating. She also offers support around anger, bereavement, and substance-related difficulties. Her approach centres on clear conversation, practical steps and checking what works for each person.

To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. The process is presented simply so people can focus on whether the therapist-client fit feels right before making further commitments.
