Mckinley Skinner
SaveHi! I’m Mckinley. I am currently a practicum student at Jolene Dawn Counselling and Consulting while I complete my Master's of Counselling Psychology degree. I will be offering both in-person and virtual (for residents of British Columbia) counselling sessions at reduced rates from May 2026 to December 2026. My goal is to support adults and emerging adults who are facing relational and attachment difficulties, undergoing life transitions, feel stuck in unfulfilling patterns, and want to live an authentic life. Whether you are living with anxiety that feels out of your control, or you feel your history is catching up to you, you are worthy, and I am here for you.

From the moment I recognized my own consciousness, I have possessed an undeniable passion for helping people thrive and heal. Through my own healing journey and witnessing the lives of those around me, I have come to recognize how quickly the weight of our lives can become too heavy to carry alone. I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you in your journey to cultivating the life you have always wanted for yourself. Whether what you desire is help with a specific struggle or to develop a deep understanding of who you are, who you want to be, and lead an authentic, value-driven life, I will meet you with empathy and support.
Much of our lives are spent meeting the needs and expectations of our families, our culture and our partners. But our care for others becomes limited when we do not apply our compassion and care to ourselves. Before beginning my counselling training, I completed a BSc with a major in psychology and a minor in Biology at the University of British Columbia. Since then, I have been privileged to work as a community support worker, where I work with incredible individuals with various intellectual and developmental disabilities. This occupation has redefined happiness for me. It taught me that happiness and contentment are not as distant and unachievable as they may seem, but instead, it is our perspective of ourselves and the world that holds us back. By connecting to our authentic selves, we can foster a life that feels designed for us, and gratitude feeds a joy that is encompassed with pride.
My therapeutic lens operates from a position of empathy, openness, and individualized approaches. I provide an integrative, client-centred approach by drawing from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Theory, Narrative Therapy (NT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman’s Therapy. My approach is determined by the unique individual sitting with me, where your experiences and my intuition foster a healing environment that is tailored to what you need.
Witnessing an individual find and connect with themselves with self-compassion and alignment with their values is the greatest privilege. I honour you, I accept you, I care for you, and I would be delighted to meet you. Email me at Mckinley@jolenedawn.com to set up an appointment.
