I offer therapy sessions in person in East Lothian or online via video.
You may be considering therapy to address specific difficulties such as depression, the impact of trauma, or difficulties in relationships with others, or you may have a wish for personal growth. Therapy recognises the importance of our experiences and our relationships or contact with others and our efforts to manage these. It offers the opportunity to gain an understanding of ourselves, of how we think, feel, behaviour & relate (including with ourselves) & consider change. After almost 30 years of working as a therapist in the NHS I moved into independent practice.

My name is Joanna Davis. I am offering you an honest, non-judgemental, and empathic safe space to bring any issues you have into the room to untangle, digest, find meaning and a way forward. Whether you’re seeking to find your voice, heal old wounds, or simply feel more at peace with who you are, I’m here to help guide you on that journey. I believe that true growth begins with self-awareness and offering some of the kindness and acceptance we give to others, to ourselves. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back, navigate life’s challenges, and create a sense of clarity, balance and inner peace.

I have experience in working successfully with a very varied client group: trauma, PTSD, depression,anxiety,grief,parental support,anger,obsessive compulsive disorder,self-harm and eating disorders. I’ve always been driven by a desire to promote positive change, in more recent years I have become particularly interested in Neuroplasticity - our brain's ability to change and adapt, to learn and unlearn, for example it has the ability to unlearn negative behaviours, thought patterns and responses and learn new ones in their place. We can train or re-wire our brain to change its structure and teach it to function in different ways.

EMDR is online or in person.
Whether you want to talk things through, understand yourself or navigate change - I offer a safe, warm space when you can do this important emotional work. I can help you work out what you need and build the skills and resources to get there. Starting therapy is a risk and can feel vulnerable - I know and respect this deeply. Some people like to have clear goals and others prefer a looser space to talk - I can work either way. You may also have experiences of therapy you have liked, or would prefer to avoid. In our sessions, I can help you think about the difficulties, complexities and changes you need to think about.

Psychological approaches can help manage and reduce symptom severity and help improve overall quality of life, so that you feel less restricted by your health and able to start living a rich and meaningful life. My clients often arrive feeling stuck, or depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed.

I offer online and in-person counselling for individuals and couples, so please get in touch.
Individual & Couples Counselling & Clinical Supervision. “Life doesn’t get better by chance, it gets better by change”. At times we can all feel anxious or uncertain of our future. Sometimes we need to make changes in order to improve our situation. However, the prospect of change can feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling disconnected, isolated and lonely. Hearing your thoughts out loud, with a professional, can be an opportunity to gain some clarity and begin the process of change. I truly believe that a small change in the way we think can make a big difference to the way we feel.

Whether that's in person in central Edinburgh, in East Lothian, online, or in the outdoors, I aim to create a flexible and supportive space where you can access therapy in whatever format and manner best suits your needs and comfort.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming — whether it’s grief, profound change, or the quiet pain and uncertainty of feeling stuck in repeating patterns. I work with adults during those moments when coping no longer feels enough, and there’s a growing sense that change is needed — but it’s unclear how to move forward.
