Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk, BACP

Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is an integrative counsellor who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and life transitions. She brings a client-centered approach that values the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful change, prioritising being heard and understood in a non-judgmental space. Gemma blends training and clinical experience to tailor interventions to each person she works with, helping clients reframe difficult experiences and discover new ways of coping.

Her background includes work in a hospice setting, where she provided palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief support and bereavement counselling. That experience informs her sensitivity to loss, uncertainty and the ways longstanding coping patterns can shift when life circumstances change. Gemma trained as an integrative therapist, which means she draws on multiple evidence-based techniques and adapts them to individual needs.

She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is committed to ongoing professional development and reflective practice to ensure thoughtful, ethical care for her clients.

Integrative and Grief-Focused Support Online

Gemma offers integrative therapy, which blends techniques from different evidence-based approaches to match each person's needs. This flexible method can help with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and adapting to life changes by combining practical strategies and reflective exploration. She also brings focused bereavement and palliative care experience, working with anticipatory grief and loss to help people process emotions, adjust expectations and find ways to cope during difficult transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Gemma approaches this collaboratively. She will work with each client to understand their goals, preferences and the challenges they face, and together they will decide which techniques best fit the person and their situation.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and needs. These options allow people to engage from home or another comfortable setting, making it easier to maintain consistency in care while fitting therapy around everyday life.
