About
Nicola Fiveash, NCPS, is a qualified integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with over five years of experience supporting people through grief and loss, trauma and abuse, major life changes, stress, anxiety, and experiences related to neurodivergence.
Working integratively, Nicola draws on multiple therapeutic approaches to shape therapy around each client’s needs. Person-centered work creates a supportive space to explore feelings without judgment, while psychodynamic exploration can help make sense of repeating patterns connected to earlier experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also used to build awareness of how thoughts and behaviors interact in daily life. Throughout the process, therapy remains collaborative and tailored to the individual.
Nicola’s work is grounded in the understanding that healing is not linear and that change often unfolds in personal, meaningful stages. She offers a calm, compassionate space for those feeling overwhelmed, low in mood, anxious, uncertain, or stuck in relationship difficulties. Her practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, with an emphasis on safety, autonomy, and respect for the many ways people experience and interpret the world.
At the center of Nicola’s approach is the belief that being heard with empathy, warmth, and non-judgment can support insight, self-understanding, and growth. She views each client as the expert of their own story and works at a pace that feels safe, supporting reflection and change step by step.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Nicola Fiveash works integratively, drawing from approaches that can be effective in an online setting while staying centered on each client’s goals and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can be especially helpful for building practical awareness around stress, anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns that keep life feeling stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be useful during grief, major life changes, and times of overwhelm. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape safety, connection, and coping, and it can help when relationship difficulties, past experiences, or feelings of abandonment are part of the picture.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Nicola works collaboratively with clients to explore what they want from therapy and to adjust the approach based on preferences, needs, and what feels most supportive over time.
Online therapy can make getting support more accessible and flexible. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with the option of live chat or text-based messaging to help clients stay connected between scheduled appointments.
