About Nicola
Nicola Fiveash is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works in an integrative way, drawing on several approaches to meet each person’s needs. Nicola describes her work as collaborative and paced to the individual.
She supports people dealing with grief, loss, trauma and abuse, and the everyday pressures of stress and anxiety. Nicola also helps those living with neurodivergence, ADHD, addictions, low mood and the effects of major life changes.
Background and approach
Her focus covers relationship difficulties, parenting strain, career concerns, sleep and eating problems and feelings of being overwhelmed. Nicola uses client-centred listening to give people space to talk without judgement. She also includes cognitive behavioural tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Attachment-based ideas and existential questions help people make sense of patterns and personal meaning. Her practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, with attention to autonomy and respect. Sessions aim to be calm and compassionate, encouraging people to notice their strengths and to build clearer choices in daily life.
Nicola believes healing is personal and non-linear. She works at a pace chosen by the person in front of her and seeks to create a steady, respectful place for reflection and practical change.

Online support
Approaches and how they translate to online therapy
Existential work looks at meaning, choice and the questions that matter in life; online sessions can create space to consider what gives life purpose and how to live with uncertainty. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action; it uses simple exercises to help people commit to what matters despite uncomfortable feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, helping people recognise and change long-standing ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest ways of working that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work evolves.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what works practically for them. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and messaging or chat can suit shorter, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
