About Gemma
Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She emphasises a warm, listening approach so people feel heard and understood from the start. Gemma aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for those coping with life changes.
She trained as an integrative therapist, which means she draws on different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person. That flexibility lets her respond to what someone needs in the moment rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at how past experiences shape current feelings, and at practical steps to cope better day to day. Gemma has four years of professional experience including work in a hospice setting. There she provided palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief support and bereavement counselling, skills she now applies across other areas of practise.
That background gives her experience with intense emotions and complex loss. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment and communication issues, alongside concerns such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence. Gemma offers a calm space to talk these matters through and to explore realistic ways forward.
As a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member she keeps learning and reflecting on her work. Gemma aims to be ethical and attentive, helping people uncover coping strategies and clearer thinking as they move through difficult times.

Online support
She also draws on techniques aimed at managing stress and emotion in the moment, helping people notice patterns and try small changes. For grief and serious illness-related distress her experience in palliative care informs how she holds complex emotions and plans supportive next steps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gemma will discuss different options and work with the person to find what fits their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions the focus and methods can be adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy with Gemma is available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are helpful when lower bandwidth or walking while talking is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These choices make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving or health limitations.
