Therapy in Colchester, Essex
The Colchester practice brings specialist integrative and Jungian psychotherapy to Essex. For people living or working in Colchester, Chelmsford, Ipswich and the surrounding towns, it offers clinical work of the same depth and quality as the London practices, without the journey into the city. Dr Jacquet has kept a presence in Colchester for many years, and the practice has grown to serve the particular needs of the region.
A practice outside London can matter for straightforward, practical reasons. The time saved not travelling into the capital is often the difference between starting therapy and putting it off again. And for some people there is something easier about doing this work closer to home, in familiar surroundings rather than an unfamiliar city.
What is available
The Colchester practice draws on the same clinical breadth as the rest of the practice. There is individual psychotherapy and Jungian analytic work for the full range of adult difficulty. There is EMDR for trauma and post-traumatic stress, and specialist treatment for eating disorders, including male eating disorders, the area of Dr Jacquet’s doctoral research. There is addiction counselling, bereavement and grief work, and help with stress and anxiety. For qualified therapists and counsellors in Essex, the practice also offers clinical supervision.
Who comes to the Colchester practice
People arrive for many reasons: anxiety that has been present so long it no longer feels remarkable, a relationship that talking alone cannot seem to shift, an addiction that has become a way of managing something deeper, a grief that was set aside and never properly mourned. Some have tried therapy before and want something with more depth. Others are coming to it for the first time, having reached a point where something has to change. The work is with adults, and sessions can be arranged around working hours.
A note on supervision
The Colchester practice is one of very few in Essex to offer clinical supervision at doctoral level. For therapists who want supervision that goes beyond managerial oversight into genuine, depth engagement with the clinical material, it offers something rarely available outside London.
Getting started
The first step is an initial consultation. It is a conversation rather than an assessment, a chance to talk about what has brought you and to sense whether this is the right place to continue. No GP referral is needed, there is no obligation, and confidentiality is absolute.
