In just a year things changed for me completely – from my very lowest to now, where I am happy and thriving. Comparing myself now to before my CAT sessions with John, I have been able to eliminate all of the toxic thought patterns and behaviours that were holding me back. I credit John massively with helping me to be able to do that. I’m hesitant to say he is…
Dr Fox helped me with my anxiety and work related stress over the course of about 3 months. During this time I developed an understanding of my emotions and more importantly developed strategies to manage and tolerate these emotions in the future. At the end of the sessions I felt happier and more able to manage my stressful work environment. Dr Fox has excellent communication skills, his methods are evidence…
Through his skills he explained the way I was malfunctioning in a simple and obvious way. This enabled me to look at my self and change the way I was thinking and acting.
I have struggled with the issue of food and my weight for many years now. This has had a drastic effect on all aspects of my life not least my family and sporting passion. Being diagnosed with atypical anorexia in the early part of 2012 was a major down point in my life and came as a massive shock as the realisation of such a severe condition set in. All…
John is adept at dealing with so very many issues but has been especially helpful in dealing with the underlying causes of my eating problems, problems that three years ago I thought were unfixable, or that I just had to ‘wait out’ until they left me alone. In that sense therapy with John has been quite genuinely life-changing in a way that I feared wasn’t possible, for which I am…
The depressions I was having have lifted, and I am beginning to have a rewarding social life. Thanks John, you’re a star.
Given that the very nature of the therapy is to help you overcome your problems, John does an excellent job at supporting you to be able to be aware of, understand and help you to start overcoming the problems that you face. Often, he will point you in the right direction to where you need to be going and in the instances when you truly feel stuck, he will take…
It has only been a few days since my final session with John. I have been seeing John for around 12 weeks and when I started this journey I was extremely scared, uncomfortable and a very reluctant 'patient'. My main issue was crippling anxiety that I have lived with for the majority of my life. Johns' manner, methods, compassion, insight and undoubted experience were so remarkably helpful to me. Although…
It has only been a few weeks since my therapy sessions with John have concluded but wanted to share with others how much my sessions with John have helped with my severe anxiety and depression. This was in fact my second time of seeing John in the last 3 years the first occasion also with an anxiety related condition. Most of my family, friends and colleagues would probably say that…
With John’s help I managed to turn everything around. I found ways of looking at situations and really understanding what I was doing to myself and why. John made me feel like change was actually possible, a feeling I had never had with any previous counselors/therapists. It took time and there were days when the last thing I wanted to do was sit in a room and “talk” but John…
I worked on my depression with John for most of 2013. I came to him through recommendation of CAT by a friend after many years of struggling with depression and a crisis at work finally persuaded me to take action. Throughout my therapy John was supportive, challenging - and flexible. Jointly we re-wrote some of the CAT 'rules' in a way which worked for me. He helped me to identify…
All my life I have felt like a little girl trapped in a woman's body. I survived an extended period of sexual abuse as a child. All my life I lived in the shadow of this abuse, and felt to a large degree paralysed by my past. I've had periods of anxiety, depression and symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder - nightmares, flashbacks and intrusive thoughts I tried very hard…
