Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk

Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people understand themselves. She aims to build a trusting relationship where clients feel heard and supported while they work through difficult feelings.

She named the therapeutic relationship as central to change and focuses on creating a calm, non-judgemental space for exploration. Gemma offers different perspectives to help people reframe life events. That can include looking at current challenges and past experiences to find new ways forward.

Gemma has four years' experience and has worked in a hospice setting. There she provided palliative care counselling and bereavement support, including anticipatory grief. That background informs her work with clients facing loss, illness, and major life transitions.

Her practice covers a range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people with body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and other complex situations where usual coping no longer helps.

Gemma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She keeps up professional development and reflection to shape how she works. To start, she asks people to reflect on what they need and to take small steps towards change.

How integrative counselling can work online

Gemma describes an integrative counselling approach that combines ideas and techniques to fit each person's needs. Integrative counselling brings several perspectives together so sessions can focus on emotion, relationships and practical coping. This helps when someone is dealing with anxiety, grief, depression or life changes.

Her hospice work means she is familiar with supporting people through loss and illness. In practice that can mean listening closely, helping name feelings, and trying manageable steps to cope day to day. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and situation in a collaborative way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Gemma will discuss options and adapt techniques based on a person's needs and preferences. This makes sessions more tailored and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Details about session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of ways to meet clients, and Gemma will help identify what works best for each person.
