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!
It has been about a month since I finished my therapy sessions with John. Looking back and comparing myself to who I was before and who I am now, I can honestly say I have a very different perspective on things. Before I met John, I suffered from a great deal of anxiety, having frequent bouts of anxiety episodes and in a few instances, panic attacks. Given the nature of…
I wanted to say thank you so much Dr Fox. Therapy with John has enabled me to change my thought patterns and has given me the tools to deal with all sorts of situations. Before the therapy I did not think I would ever be free from my anxieties but 6 months on from completing my therapy, I am happy and moving on with a different, positive outlook. John was…
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…
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…
The depressions I was having have lifted, and I am beginning to have a rewarding social life. Thanks John, you’re a star.
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…
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…
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…
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…
I very much appreciate the way in which John managed to approach the therapy. Although I came to John for CAT therapy, the way that he conducts it is very much tailored to you. For example, if you suddenly had a troubling or distressing event, circumstance etc. that you experienced, John will be more than accommodating to discuss it with you. These discussions were frequent throughout my therapy sessions and…
