About Gemma
Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to tailor sessions to each person. She focuses on helping people understand themselves more clearly and find practical ways forward. Gemma aims to build a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can feel heard and supported.
Her integrative training allows flexibility in how conversations are shaped. She offers different perspectives to help people see current life events differently. That can include looking at past patterns or practical ways to cope with present problems.
Gemma has four years' experience and has worked in a hospice setting. There she provided palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief support, and bereavement work, which informs how she supports people facing loss or major life changes. That experience also translates to helping with stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions.
She also helps with relationship concerns, communication problems, commitment and attachment issues, and specific worries such as body image, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and the effects of trauma or domestic violence. Gemma uses plain, direct conversation to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and decisions.
As a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member, Gemma keeps up with reflective practice and ongoing development. She works collaboratively, helping people identify goals and practical steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Integrative approaches and how they suit online work
Gemma describes an integrative style that blends different evidence-based techniques to suit each person. Integrative counselling means conversations can include talking about past patterns, current feelings and practical coping ideas to manage stress, anxiety and depression. This approach can help people clarify what matters most and decide on small, manageable changes.She also draws on skills developed in bereavement and palliative care settings. Those methods focus on helping people sit with difficult emotions, name what they are feeling, and find ways to carry on when life changes are hard to navigate. That style tends to suit people facing grief, major illness, caregiving strain or other significant losses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree on techniques that feel helpful. This is a collaborative process and may shift as needs change.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and options for telephone or lower-bandwidth sessions when video is difficult. These practical benefits help people keep therapy regular and manageable.
