About Nicola Fiveash
Nicola Fiveash is a qualified integrative therapist (NCPS) based in the United Kingdom, with over five years of experience supporting people through grief and loss, trauma and abuse, major life changes, stress, and anxiety, including those who identify as neurodivergent.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on different therapeutic approaches to match what each client needs. Her person-centered work focuses on creating a warm, non-judgmental space to explore emotions openly, while psychodynamic understanding can help make sense of patterns connected to earlier experiences. She also uses CBT techniques to build awareness of how thoughts and behaviors interact in everyday life. Therapy with Nicola is collaborative, shaped by the client’s goals, and adapted over time as needs change.
Nicola’s approach is grounded in the belief that healing is not linear, and that meaningful change often unfolds gradually and in a personal way. She offers a calm, compassionate space for those feeling overwhelmed, low in mood, anxious, or stuck, including people navigating relationship difficulties or the lasting effects of the past. Her practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, with an emphasis on autonomy, respect, and the many different ways people experience and understand the world.
At the center of her work is the value of being truly heard with empathy and warmth. Nicola sees each person as the expert in their own story and aims to help clients reconnect with their strengths as they move toward greater self-understanding and change, at a pace that feels steady and safe.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Nicola Fiveash draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that keep them going, then practicing new skills to respond differently. It is often used to support concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by making room for difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be particularly helpful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled into cycles of worry, avoidance, or self-criticism.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape emotional needs, boundaries, and patterns of closeness. This lens can support people working through relationship difficulties, grief, or the impact of past experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicola works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what feels most useful right now, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and support is also available through live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around daily life and access help from a familiar setting.
