About Gemma
Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people understand themselves and find ways forward. She aims to build a respectful, non-judgemental relationship so clients feel heard and supported while they work through difficult emotions. Gemma trained as an integrative therapist, which lets her adapt her approach to each person.
She offers different perspectives so clients can look at current situations and life events in new ways. This flexibility helps when familiar coping methods no longer work.
Background and approach
She has spent time working in a hospice setting. There she provided palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief support, and bereavement support. That experience informs her work with those facing loss, illness, and major life transitions.
Gemma helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, depression, and general coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce. She describes herself as ethical and reflective, and keeps up ongoing professional development.
Gemma encourages exploration at a pace that feels right, offering practical ways to cope while helping clients clarify what matters most to them.

How Gemma works online
Another common element is working with bereavement and anticipatory grief in a clear, paced way. This involves helping people name difficult feelings, make space for them, and plan small steps that ease daily life while processing loss or illness.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Gemma will talk with each client about what feels most helpful and adjust methods as therapy progresses. She aims to keep the work collaborative, checking in about goals and how sessions are going.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. If you want to book, confirm the session formats available before arranging appointments, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to keep a steady routine and to have regular check-ins when dealing with ongoing stress, grief, or life change.
