Jocelyn Proctor is an integrative fertility specialist with a unique dual background in psychotherapy and nutritional therapy.
She holds a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Edinburgh and is an accredited member of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA), reflecting her commitment to ethical, specialist support in the field of reproductive health.
Jocelyn’s clinical foundation was shaped while working within fertility services for NHS Lothian, where she supported individuals and couples navigating the emotional, psychological, and relational complexities of fertility treatment.
It was during this time that she developed a deep understanding of the nuanced challenges associated with infertility, assisted conception, and donor pathways. This experience has informed her ongoing work supporting patients at Genus Medical Fertility.
Alongside her psychotherapy training, Jocelyn is a qualified Nutritional Therapist, enabling her to take an integrative approach to fertility. Where appropriate or requested, she may incorporate nutritional and lifestyle considerations into her work, supporting patients to understand their role in reproductive health while remaining grounded in the emotional realities of each individual’s journey.
Her approach is collaborative and personalised, recognising that fertility is never purely physical or psychological, but an interplay of both.
Jocelyn also has a background in meditation research and therapeutic practice, which informs her sensitivity to the mind–body relationship and the role of stress in the body. She draws on her own intuitive nature to help foster hope and resilience, supporting patients to stay connected to themselves whilst navigating uncertainty.
She is particularly attuned to the impact that fertility struggles can have on identity, sense of self, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
She is also a specialist eating disorder psychotherapist, and at times this work intersects with her fertility practice, particularly when supporting individuals experiencing disordered eating or BMI issues alongside fertility challenges.
Her work is characterised by warmth, sensitivity, and a non-judgemental stance, creating a space where clients feel supported to navigate uncertainty, make informed decisions, and reconnect with a sense of agency throughout their fertility journey.
