Nicola Fiveash, NCPS

Nicola Fiveash is a UK-based integrative therapist with five years of experience supporting people through grief, loss, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, life changes, and the particular needs of clients who identify as neurodivergent. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are, combining evidence-informed techniques with a person-centred, compassionate stance that honours individual pace and preference.

Her work blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic reflection and cognitive-behavioural strategies, tailoring sessions to address patterns rooted in past experience as well as present thoughts and behaviours. Nicola is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, emphasising autonomy, respect, and the many ways people make sense of their lives. She offers a calm space for those coping with relationship difficulties, low mood, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, career concerns, sleep or eating issues, and complex life transitions.

Nicola holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification for counsellors and psychotherapists, and approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert in their own story. She believes that being truly heard with empathy and non-judgment can open the way to greater self-understanding and growth, and she accompanies clients at a pace that feels safe and manageable as they work towards meaningful change.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and encourages living in line with personal values. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and life changes by building psychological flexibility and purposeful action.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early connections and current relationships. It supports people working through attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, separation or abandonment concerns, and the lasting effects of past caregiving experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Nicola works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to support meaningful change.

Online therapy with Nicola is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into daily life. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals while accommodating mobility, location, and scheduling needs, allowing clients to engage in a way that feels most comfortable for them.
