About Nicola
Nicola Fiveash is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress and major life changes. Nicola also supports those who identify as neurodivergent and people dealing with low mood, relationship strain, or feeling overwhelmed.
She uses an integrative approach, drawing on several therapy styles to match each person's needs. Nicola offers person-centred work that gives space to be heard without judgement.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours, and attachment-informed ideas to consider how past relationships shape current patterns. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what the client wants to achieve. Nicola aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of responding, and build practical coping skills.
She writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on real problems that affect day-to-day life. Nicola describes her practice as trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, with attention to safety and personal choice. She works at a pace set by the client and centres empathy and respect in each session.
Her NCPS credential is listed with her professional details. Nicola frames therapy as a personal journey where being heard and understood can unlock change and growth. She invites people to take the first step and explore what kind of support might help next.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Nicola uses a mix of methods that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical actions, helping people take small steps towards a life they value even when difficult thoughts appear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based ideas explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help when past relationships continue to cause distress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Nicola will discuss your goals and preferences and tailor the mix of methods to suit your situation. Sessions are collaborative so you can try techniques and give feedback about what feels useful and what does not.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or clients who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep the focus on steady progress rather than on distance or travel.
