About Nicola
Nicola Fiveash is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people facing grief, loss, trauma and abuse, as well as stress, anxiety and low mood. Nicola also supports people who identify as neurodivergent and those navigating major life changes.
She uses an integrative approach tailored to each person. That means she draws on several methods to match what feels most helpful. Sessions focus on listening, exploring patterns from the past, and building practical ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Background and approach
Nicola aims to create a calm, compassionate space where people can speak without judgment. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that moves at the client’s pace. The emphasis is on autonomy, respect and recognising each person’s strengths.
Her practice is trauma-informed and affirms neurodiversity. That influences how she plans sessions and the kinds of support offered, especially when past experiences or overwhelm are present. Nicola works with concerns such as relationship strain, parenting pressures, work stress and low self-esteem.
Nicola holds NCPS as a credential and brings practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Many clients use therapy to manage mood, cope with change, or recover from difficult events. She encourages small, achievable steps and regular check-ins on progress.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns today. It can help when past experiences affect current relationships or when someone feels repeatedly hurt or disconnected. This approach supports understanding those patterns and trying different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Nicola works collaboratively to decide what methods to use based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will check in and adapt the approach as progress or challenges emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face when visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflections between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can therefore offer consistent, ongoing support while fitting sessions around work, family and other commitments.
