John Mackessy - Online Therapy & Coaching MBACP Accred.

I am a fully qualified and very experienced neurodivergent counsellor and psychotherapist. UK-based, I work with people from all parts online or over the phone.
Since 2001, I have been helping a wide range of people with an even wider range of concerns and life challenges. About 80% of my work is with people who identify as neurodivergent (including ADHD, AuDHD, Autism Spectrum, Sensory Processing, …) or who may be going through the process of diagnosis.
I discovered in 2021, in middle-age, that I am neurodivergent myself and I am neurodivergence affirming in the way that I work. This means that I believe that while neurodivergence, including my own, can present very real challenges in life, it is also an important part of our identities. This deserves respect whether or not it is always seen as ‘positive’ in wider society. Frequently, though, it involves an ability to see, feel and experience things from other valuable perspectives. This is something I try to foster in my work as a counsellor, psychotherapist and coach.
I provide a safe and confidential space for people of all sorts to move towards solutions and ways forward that work best for them, both personally and professionally.
Professionally accredited with BACP, I am also a registered and recognized practitioner with several UK medical insurance companies, such as AXA and BUPA.
