About Nicola
Nicola Fiveash is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works in an integrative way and draws on several approaches to meet each person's needs. Nicola aims to create a calm and compassionate space where people can talk about what feels hard right now.
She helps with grief, loss and trauma, as well as stress, anxiety and low mood. Nicola also supports people who identify as neurodivergent and those coping with life changes or the ongoing effects of past experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed script. Nicola uses person-centred work to offer non-judgemental listening and emotional presence. She includes psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that may come from earlier relationships and experience.
Cognitive behavioural approaches are available to help notice thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. The practice is trauma-informed and affirming of neurodiversity, with an emphasis on respect, choice and safety. Nicola describes therapy as a personal process that unfolds at each person’s own pace.
She focuses on supporting people to make sense of their feelings and find practical steps forward. People come for a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, addiction, ADHD, career worries and compassion fatigue. Nicola meets each person where they are and works with their strengths to build resilience and clearer options for change.

Online support
How Jungian and ACT ideas translate to online therapy
Nicola draws from Jungian ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape online sessions. Jungian-informed work pays attention to personal symbols, life stories and recurring themes that help make sense of difficult feelings; this can be helpful for people who want to reflect on meaning and identity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and taking small committed actions to build a more meaningful life, which suits anxiety, low mood and adjustment struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola will discuss aims and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits. She treats the process as collaborative, adjusting methods to match a person's goals and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits people who prefer shorter written check-ins, and messaging supports regular reflective contact between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and day-to-day commitments, while keeping continuity of care when meeting in person is not practical.
