About Richard Fox
Meet Richard
After medical training at Cambridge University and hospitals in the UK, I came to New Zealand as a junior doctor, and married a kiwi nurse.
My wife and I worked in the Solomon Islands and then settled into rural general practice and raising a family in the Coromandel. To satisfy my growing interest in the human side of illness, I made the transition from medicine to counselling and psychotherapy. I now work full time in private practice as a counsellor and psychotherapist in Ponsonby, Auckland.
I am married to Wendy and we have four adult children and two grandchildren. Active interests are summertime sailing and tramping.
