Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk, BACP

Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people understand themselves better. She presents work in a direct, compassionate way and aims to build a trusting relationship where clients feel heard. Gemma’s profile mentions midlife crisis among the kinds of life changes she supports, and she draws on her experience to help people facing those shifts.

She trained as an integrative therapist, which means she blends different ideas to suit each person. In sessions she offers fresh perspectives and straightforward ways to look at current problems. People often come for help with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and depression, and Gemma works with those concerns in everyday language.

Gemma has four years of experience and has practised in a hospice setting. That work included palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief and bereavement support. Those experiences inform how she responds to loss and major life transitions in her general practice.

Her approach is collaborative. She invites clients to explore what no longer serves them and to find new coping strategies. She keeps professional development and reflection central to her work so her practice stays thoughtful and up to date.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site process.

How integrative approaches translate to online therapy

Gemma describes an integrative way of working, which means she draws on different therapeutic ideas to fit a person’s needs. That might include talking through unhelpful habits and trying new ways of coping, or looking at how past experiences shape current feelings. These approaches help with stress, anxiety, grief and big life changes.

Her hospice experience has shaped how she supports people through loss and uncertainty, using practical listening and paced conversations. The emphasis is on collaboration - the therapist and client agree what to try and adjust it as needed. Finding the right style is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose quieter times for longer conversations or sessions that suit their energy levels. Registered or accredited professionals like Gemma can discuss which format will best meet a client's needs and help plan a practical way forward.
