The depressions I was having have lifted, and I am beginning to have a rewarding social life. Thanks John, you’re a star.
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…
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 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…
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…
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 been over a year since I stopped seeing John but every time I started to write a testimonial I was scared because I still couldn’t quite believe that it was real. I felt like if I wrote down how much I have changed and healed something bad was bound to happen. Months passed by and each time I’d think “just one more month”. When it got to a…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
