Before I began my therapy sessions with John, I was in a dark place. I always felt depressed, upset and lost. I had no motivation and found every day to day tasks impossible, and I found trying to do anything a real challenge. My mind and thoughts were constantly clouded and I did not feel in control of my own mind. I felt as though I could never concentrate or…
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…
Life, it has to be said, is hard for me. I struggle. More than most, at any rate. I would often think ‘Will I ever be happy?’ When I found John, that question seemed to have a definitive answer. I was lost in the saddest, bleakest and most isolated of places. I had given up on my career, everyday chores seemed pointless. The only motivation I had for doing anything…
I decided to seek help following a period of anxiety in July 2011, which left me feeling overwhelmed, unable to cope and generally unhappy. I commenced weekly meetings with Dr Fox in Sept 2011. Initially I had no idea what to expect, but from the very first contact I was put at ease immediately and even more so following the first appointment. Dr Fox was incredibly friendly, really easy to…
Working with John quite literally changed my life. I never thought it would be possible to get to the point I am at now. For many years I struggled with an eating disorder, self-harm and other issues with no real coping mechanisms other than my well tried and tested destructive behaviour.
With his support and commitment to the sessions, John really manages to effectively establish a very personal relationship starting from the first session of therapy. He approaches the relationship in a very caring manner and is very supportive when it comes to you disclosing your problems and issues. John will never try to make you feel overwhelmed or push you too far, being considerate towards you working at your own…
Following a prolonged period of anxiety and unhappiness, I contacted John in July 2012. Although I was acutely aware that I needed help, I was really apprehensive that my anxiety was so entrenched in my daily life, and that I wouldn’t be able to break my destructive behaviour. Upon meeting him, John immediately made me feel at ease, and comfortable with the process. He explained fully the format of the…
For years I have been battling with issues of self-worth. This resulted in several unpleasant and tiring behaviours. I strove to achieve in order to show people my worth whilst at the same time trying to hide any achievements as I thought this would make me look weak. I was unable to express my needs and ask others for help, whilst always acceding to others requests as I thought they…
Having put up with personal and professional trauma issues for years, John helped me to release a lot of buried emotions. I had previously had counselling for this which helped but John managed to turn me round and to look forward to a decent life. Wonderful!
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…
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…
I can’t thank John enough for how much he helped me to turn my life around. From the very first time we spoke on the phone I felt completely comfortable talking to him, and I know that if I had felt he wasn’t the right person for me I’d felt completely comfortable letting him know. I saw John for around 20 sessions overall, and he really helped me and gave…
