Have you ever worried that therapy might feel like a one-size-fits-all approach? Many people do. The idea of being put into a box or following a rigid plan can be daunting, especially when you're seeking help for deeply personal challenges.
At Three Oaks Therapy in Milton Keynes, I believe your counselling journey should be as unique as you are. That’s why I use a pluralistic approach—it's a collaborative way of working that puts you in the driver’s seat. Instead of me being the sole expert, we work together as a team to discover what truly helps you heal and grow.
Here are five ways this flexible approach can be tailored specifically to you:
- Your Goals Are My Guide. Right from our first conversation, I’ll focus on what you want to achieve. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, working through a past trauma, or simply seeking more clarity, I'll help you build a clear roadmap based on your personal goals—not a generic therapy protocol.
- I Blend What Works. No single therapeutic method works for everyone. My pluralistic approach allows me to draw from a range of proven techniques, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person-centered counselling, and trauma-informed care. As a polyvagal-informed therapist, I can also integrate tools like the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to help you regulate your nervous system and find calm.
- Your Feedback Is Essential. Therapy is an active, two-way conversation. I’ll always check in to see what feels helpful and what doesn’t. This continuous feedback loop ensures our work together is always relevant and effective.
- I Adapt as You Progress. Your needs will naturally evolve as you move forward. What we focus on in our first session may be very different from what we discuss months from now. The pluralistic approach is designed to be flexible, allowing me to pivot and adjust as you heal and new insights emerge.
- I Can Include Your Wider World. Your well-being is connected to your life outside of therapy. With your consent and while maintaining confidentiality, I can help you explore how your relationships with family, friends, or even your work environment are impacting you.
