Counselling in Colchester, Essex
The decision to seek counselling is rarely made lightly. Something has usually been building — a difficulty that has become harder to manage alone, a pattern that keeps repeating, a sense that the way things are is no longer sustainable. By the time most people make contact, they have often been considering it for some time.
This practice offers private counselling and psychotherapy in Colchester for adults across a wide range of concerns. The work is depth-oriented and individual — shaped around the person and what they bring, not a fixed protocol applied to a presenting problem.
The Approach
Dr Jacquet is an integrative psychotherapist and Jungian analyst with over 25 years of clinical experience. He is an EMDR practitioner with over 20 years of experience and a trained art psychotherapist. He holds a Doctorate of Professional Practice and is the only person in Europe to have conducted doctoral research specifically on male eating disorders.
What this means for counselling in Colchester is that the range of frameworks available is unusually broad — and that the work can meet complexity without reducing it. Whatever the presenting concern, there is depth here to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a waiting list for counselling in Colchester?
No. This is a private practice and sessions are available without a waiting list. Contact the practice to arrange an initial consultation.
What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?
Counselling typically addresses specific concerns in a more focused and shorter-term way. Psychotherapy tends to be longer-term and goes deeper — exploring the psychological patterns and history that generate the difficulty, not just the difficulty itself. At this practice, both are available and the distinction between them is discussed at the initial consultation based on what is most appropriate for your situation.
