Dr Fox is a mental health counsellor, who has an interest in working with high performing professionals in areas such as academia, finance and law. His counselling practice involves helping clients explore what they believe is holding them back and to aid them in constructing effective solutions. As one former client put it in their testimonial:

"Alex is an exceptionally insightful counsellor. His empathetic approach combined with a highly rigorous intellectual foundation, helped me understand the personal issues I needed to address and the best ways for me to manage them. Without his guidance, I would not have been able to make important life decisions as sensitively nor as effectively for my own sake and for the well-being of my family. His personalised approach was key to gaining my confidence and enabling me to move forward on issues with which I had struggled for years."

Dr Fox is trained to Masters level as a pluralistic counsellor, which is a form of counselling that focuses on a client’s goals and uses a variety of counselling models (e.g. person-centred, psychodynamic, solution-focused) to help a client reach their goals.

Pluralistic counselling is therefore a flexible counselling approach that can be adapted to a wide variety of client needs; indeed, it can be adapted as much to helping clients resolve emotional conflicts from the past as it can be used to aid clients in overcoming current blocks in their professional life. Apart from his training in pluralistic counselling, Dr Fox has a MA (Hons) degree in continental philosophy and a doctorate in English literature (his PhD thesis was a psychoanalytic exploration of the work of the Nobel laureate, Harold Pinter). It is this eclectic training in the humanities and in counselling that allows Dr Fox to work with a wide variety of professionals.

Dr Fox is a Senior Consultant for Meisterline, the world's leading provider of professional expertise metrics, as well as Head of Coaching for The Gritty Professional, which is the CPD section of the aforementioned company. In his latter role, Dr Fox helps clients tackle issues that are affecting them from reaching their potential in their professional roles.

Dr Fox also is the co-host and co-creator of a mental health podcast called The Reading Cure, which explores seminal works of fiction and non-fiction for the insights they can give us into how to live better, more meaningful lives.

Dr Fox welcomes any queries from prospective clients, who wish to receive counselling online (he can see clients face-to-face in Dundee, otherwise it is online counselling).

Dr Fox practices online counselling at The Westlake Clinic, 7 Harley Street, London, W1G 9QD.
