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…
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…
Based on my experience I would highly recommend Dr Fox to anyone who is experiencing anxiety and depression.
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…
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…
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…
The depressions I was having have lifted, and I am beginning to have a rewarding social life. Thanks John, you’re a star.
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…
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.
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…
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…
