Dr Jenny Davis - Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Therapist
I've worked in mental health for 15 years, including over 8 years supporting people with eating disorders, and qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2020. I specialise in eating disorder therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), working especially with people who never got the chance to address the trauma behind their eating disorder, and those negatively affected by treatment itself. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and other psychological difficulties.
I work in a compassionate, collaborative way, using evidence-based approaches including EMDR, CBT-E, MANTRA, compassion-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. We'll work together to help you feel more in control, less self-critical, and more connected to the life you want.

My Specialisms
Eating Disorder Treatment
You don’t have to wait until things are “bad enough” to seek help. Whether you're in the early stages of struggling, feeling stuck in recovery, or living with an eating disorder long-term, I offer therapy that meets you where you are.
I work with all types of eating disorders and disordered eating, including:
- Anorexia
- Bulimia
- Binge Eating Disorder
- Emotional eating
- Body image difficulties
My approach includes CBT-E, MANTRA, compassion-focused therapy, and EMDR, always tailored to your individual needs.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps you process distressing life experiences that may be keeping you stuck.
EMDR can help with:
- Anxiety and panic
- Traumatic experiences
- Low self-worth and self-criticism
- Phobias
- Difficult memories
It can be used on its own or alongside other therapies (including eating disorder treatment) to address underlying trauma or self-critical beliefs that affect how you relate to yourself or your body.
What do I help with?
Although I specialise in eating disorders and EMDR, I also work with people struggling with a wide range of mental health struggles. If you are struggling with any of these difficulties, I can help.
Eating Disorders
Do thoughts about food, weight, or body image take over your day? I provide therapy to support you in developing a healthier relationship with eating and your body, so you can focus on living rather than restricting or obsessing..
Depression
Are you feeling low, drained, or disconnected from the things you usually enjoy? I provide therapy to help you navigate depression, regain motivation, and reconnect with a life that feels fulfilling.
Trauma
Do you feel like your life is controlled by painful memories and unresolved experiences? I provide therapy to help you process trauma, regain a sense of safety, and move forward with your life.
Anxiety
Do you want to break free from constant worry and racing thoughts? I provide therapy to help manage anxiety, calm your mind, and regain control of your life.
