I am committed to providing professional, evidence-based therapy in a safe,compassionate, and confidential space. Hi, I’m Jocelyn McKinlay.
I’m a psychotherapist based in East Lothian, and I made the decision to retrain in this profession due to my own adverse life experiences. I was unhappy within myself and felt stuck in life. Therapy provided a safe place to explore these issues and helped me
move forward, building on my strengths and retraining professionally. I am passionate about providing a safe space where individuals feel they are truly heard and understood, helping others and supporting individuals to improve their lives. As a neurodiverse therapist who has ADHD, I understand that everyone learns and processes information differently. As well as having an extensive understanding of Autism and ADHD, I have experience in:
