About Gemma
Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. Gemma describes her role as helping people sort through feelings that come after big transitions.
Gemma trained as an integrative therapist and uses that flexibility to respond to each person's situation. She listens for how current coping strategies are helping or hindering day-to-day life. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, recognising difficult emotions and finding practical ways to manage them.
Her background includes work in a hospice setting providing palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief work and bereavement support. That experience informs how she talks about loss, illness and caregiving stress with other clients. She pays attention to both present difficulties and the ways past experiences shape current relationships.
Gemma also supports people with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and blended family dynamics. She helps clients name the problem, look at what they can change, and practise small steps that make daily life easier.
She describes her practice as reflective and ethically minded. Gemma keeps up her professional development and sees her work as a collaborative effort where the client and counsellor decide what to try and when to change course.
How Gemma’s approaches translate to online counselling
Gemma works from an integrative perspective, which means she draws on different evidence-based techniques to suit the person in front of her. For example, she may use cognitive-style work to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood. She may also use emotion-focused approaches to help name and sit with difficult feelings after loss or during caregiver strain.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Gemma will work collaboratively to decide what to try, check whether it is helping, and adjust the plan as goals and needs change. That means the method can shift over time as a person explores what matters most to them.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some people choose remote sessions because they allow shorter check-ins or make it easier to attend when juggling work and caregiving.
