About Gemma

Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a counsellor who uses an integrative, evidence-based approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She focuses on creating a steady, non-judgemental space where clients can be heard and think through what’s happening in their lives. Gemma draws on four years of practice to support those facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and depression.

She prefers straightforward conversation and practical reflection. Gemma offers different perspectives to help people see current situations in a new light.

Background and approach

That can make it easier to spot unhelpful patterns or try small changes that reduce strain day to day. Gemma has worked in a hospice setting providing palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief support and bereavement work. That experience informs how she responds to loss, serious illness, caregiver stress and end of life concerns.

She uses what she learned there with other clients who feel overwhelmed or unsure about next steps. Gemma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She keeps up professional development and reflective practice as part of her work.

This helps her adapt to each person's needs and to ethical standards shared across the profession. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Gemma works with people to explore coping with life changes, communication and attachment issues, body image, chronic illness challenges and related concerns.

If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Gemma uses an integrative, evidence-based approach that blends talking therapy with practical coping work. Integrative counselling combines elements from different methods to suit the person in front of her, helping with anxiety, low mood and relationship problems by focusing on what the person needs now.

Her hospice and bereavement experience means she often draws on grief-focused conversation techniques. These involve naming difficult feelings, mapping how loss affects daily life and finding manageable ways to carry on. That work can be helpful for people facing serious illness, caregiver stress or bereavement-related distress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Gemma will listen to your goals and try different ways of working, discussing what helps and what doesn’t. Together you will shape a plan that fits your needs and preferences rather than following a fixed programme.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, note-taking or people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or mobility challenges.
