About Nicola Fiveash

Nicola Fiveash, NCPS, is a qualified integrative therapist practising in the United Kingdom. The NCPS credential indicates professional training in counselling and psychotherapy and reflects her commitment to ongoing clinical development.

With over five years of experience, Nicola supports people working through grief, loss, trauma and abuse, life changes, stress and anxiety, and those who identify as neurodivergent. Her work combines several therapeutic methods so the support she offers fits each person’s needs and circumstances.

Nicolas’s practice draws on person-centred therapy to provide a non-judgmental space for exploring feelings, psychodynamic ideas to uncover recurring patterns linked to past experiences, and cognitive behavioural techniques to increase awareness of thoughts and behaviours that influence wellbeing. Treatment is collaborative and tailored, with an emphasis on listening and pacing the work to suit the individual.

Nicola’s approach is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, grounded in respect for autonomy and the varied ways people understand their lives. She offers a calm, compassionate environment where emotions are accepted and personal strengths are recognised. Nicola believes that empathetic listening and warm, non-judgmental presence can support reflection, growth and meaningful change, and she is committed to accompanying people at a pace that feels right for them.

Integrative Approaches Applied to Online Therapy

Nicola blends well-established therapeutic approaches to suit each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgmental space where the individual leads the pace of exploration and the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard - this helps when someone needs to build self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and coping styles, which can be particularly useful for relationship difficulties and issues rooted in past caregiving experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicola works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences and life context, adjusting the plan as trust and insight grow.

Online therapy with Nicola is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of support when meeting in person is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and conversational techniques to each format so therapy remains practical and effective across different communication styles.
