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 spent about two and a half years seeing John on and off, more and less frequently, and although it has been a bumpy road these therapy sessions have undoubtedly been the best decision I’ve ever made to try and help myself feel better as someone who has struggled with variously poor mental health for many years. John is incredibly warm and never judgmental, and will give ample space…
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…
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…
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…
Based on my experience I would highly recommend Dr Fox to anyone who is experiencing anxiety and depression.
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…
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 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…
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.
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…
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…
