Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk, BACP

Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a counsellor who describes herself as an integrative practitioner. She focuses on helping people make sense of tough emotions and life changes. Gemma aims to build a listening relationship where people feel heard and supported as they work through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship problems.

She brings four years of professional experience, including time working in a hospice setting. That work involved palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief and bereavement support, and she draws lessons from those roles into broader practice. This background informs how she responds when coping strategies stop helping and life feels overwhelming.

Gemma offers a calm space for people to reflect on past and present events. She uses different perspectives to help clients see situations in a new light. The goal is practical: to help people find ways forward when feeling lost or unsure.

She describes her approach as shaped by the interactions she has with clients, adapting to their needs rather than following a single formula. Gemma emphasises ongoing professional development and self-reflection to keep her practice current and thoughtful.

People considering counselling with Gemma should expect a person-centred conversation about what matters to them. If you are dealing with stress, depression, relationship strain, bereavement, or life changes, she aims to support steady progress at a pace that feels right.

How integrative approaches support online therapy

Gemma describes an integrative approach that blends ideas to meet each person's needs. Integrative work means she may combine person-centred listening with practical ways to manage distress. This helps when people feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about next steps.

Her hospice experience brings a focus on bereavement and coping with serious illness. In plain terms, that means there is experience in talking about loss, anticipatory grief and difficult emotion cycles. Those skills can be helpful for people facing life changes, caregiver strain or chronic health challenges.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try approaches that fit the client's needs. This collaborative choice lets people test what helps most and change course if needed.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, caring duties and other commitments. If you want to explore how sessions might fit your life, confirm the available session options before booking and discuss practical arrangements with the therapist.
