Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk, BACP

Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to tailor sessions to each person. She emphasizes the importance of the relationship in therapy and aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people feel heard. Gemma presents ideas and perspectives that help clients make sense of their feelings and choices.

She trained as an integrative therapist, which gives her flexibility to draw on different ways of working depending on what a person needs. That approach shapes how she supports people through loss, life changes, and emotional overwhelm. Gemma has four years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her professional credential.

Gemma spent time working in a hospice setting, offering palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief work, and bereavement support. That background informs how she helps people who feel lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future. She listens for patterns in how people cope and gently offers alternatives when old strategies stop helping.

Clients come to her for help with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, and coping with major life changes. She also works with specific concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, ageing issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and communication or commitment difficulties.

Gemma describes herself as an ethical and reflective practitioner who keeps up her professional learning. She invites people to explore their experience at a pace that feels manageable and to discover practical ways to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Gemma describes herself as an integrative counsellor and uses techniques that help people talk through feelings and make different choices. Integrative therapy means she can combine person-centred talking, reflective listening, and other evidence-based techniques to suit each person. This mix often helps with grief, anxiety, relationship strain and coping with life changes.

Another helpful part of her approach is bereavement and palliative care experience. That work focuses on exploring loss, anticipating change, and finding ways to manage strong emotions. These skills can be useful for people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, or the complex emotions that follow major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Gemma will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the way she works as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote work to maintain continuity of support while helping people balance therapy with caring responsibilities.
