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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
