About Nicola Fiveash

Nicola Fiveash is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience supporting people through grief, loss, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, life transitions, and neurodivergent experiences. She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, addiction, ADHD, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue, among other complex issues.

Nicola blends therapeutic methods to suit each person she sees, drawing on client-centered work to create an empathic, non-judgmental space, psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns rooted in past experience, and cognitive behavioural techniques to increase awareness of thoughts and behaviours. Her practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, with an emphasis on autonomy, respect, and the many ways people make sense of their lives.

She describes healing as a personal, non-linear process and aims to offer a calm, compassionate environment where difficult emotions and experiences can be explored at a pace that feels right. Nicola holds the NCPS credential, indicating registration with a professional counselling and psychotherapy body and a commitment to recognised standards of practice.

Nicola approaches therapy collaboratively, meeting each person as the expert of their own story and supporting them to build on existing strengths to navigate change, process loss, and develop more effective ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting and empathetic space where the client’s perspective is central - it helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and find their own solutions to relationship, grief, or self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that examines the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful coping patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust and can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicola works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the way she works as the relationship and the client’s priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Nicola is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from wherever the client is based in the United Kingdom, support continuity during life changes, and allow people to engage in therapy in ways that suit their comfort and daily routines.
