About Gemma
Gemma Pyatt-Lonczyk is a counsellor who focuses on practical, person-centred support. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress and major life changes. Gemma aims to build a respectful relationship so clients feel heard and understood from the start.
She trained as an integrative therapist, which means she draws on different methods to fit each person. Gemma offers a calm space to talk through grief, relationship strains, caregiving stress and long-term health challenges.
Background and approach
She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of coping. Gemma worked in a hospice delivering palliative care counselling, anticipatory grief work and bereavement support. That setting taught her to manage intense emotion and to support people during very difficult transitions.
She finds those skills useful across many concerns including chronic illness, loss and separation. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and on small, achievable changes. Gemma explains options clearly and helps people pick what feels right for them.
She encourages self-reflection alongside practical steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild routines. Professional growth matters to her, so she keeps up regular supervision and continued learning. Gemma practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
She brings a calm, steady presence and works at the client’s pace.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gemma will discuss different options with each person and adjust methods based on their goals, preferences and how they respond. Together they set small steps and review progress so the plan evolves if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins and text messaging supports regular prompts or reflections between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep working on goals from wherever is most convenient.
