About Jyotsana
Jyotsana Gilmore uses a blend of person-focused and evidence-based approaches to help people facing worry, low mood and life upheaval. She draws on over eleven years of practice across India and the United Kingdom. Jyotsana aims to make first steps feel manageable and straight forward for those who are nervous about starting therapy.
Her sessions focus on practical ways to reduce anxiety, lift depressive symptoms and rebuild self-esteem. She also helps people navigate relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief and addiction-related concerns.
Background and approach
The work is conversational and paced to each person’s needs. Jyotsana combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred techniques in her sessions. She uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and existential reflection where they fit the person’s goals.
These methods support coping with change, improving communication and changing unhelpful thought patterns. Her background includes clinical work in both India and the UK over eleven years. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed as part of her professional profile.
She works with people who speak English and accepts international clients. Practical session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

Sessions & fees
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer on what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. Online ACT sessions often involve noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit personal goals, which can be useful for anxiety and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. In a remote session CBT can help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise new behaviours through homework and short exercises between meetings.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens with empathy and supports people to find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful when someone is processing grief, identity or relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. Sessions start with a conversation about needs, goals and preferences so the plan adapts over time rather than being fixed upfront.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, and live chat or text messaging for shorter updates or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, care duties and travel.
