Therapy at Harley Street
Harley Street has been associated with private medicine and specialist psychological care in London for more than a century. Dr Philippe Jacquet’s practice has been based here since 2002, and these remain the consulting rooms at the heart of the practice. The setting is discreet and quietly comfortable, a few minutes from Regent’s Park and well connected by Underground from across the capital. For many people, the first relief of therapy is simply walking into a place that feels calm, private and unhurried.
The Harley Street rooms offer the full range of the practice’s clinical work: integrative psychotherapy and Jungian analysis, EMDR for trauma, clinical hypnotherapy, art psychotherapy, specialist treatment for eating disorders and addiction, couples therapy and executive coaching. Sessions are available in English and in French.
A specialist practice
Dr Jacquet is an integrative psychotherapist and Jungian analyst with more than 25 years of clinical experience in London and internationally. He is an EMDR practitioner of over 20 years, a qualified art therapist, and an addiction specialist trained at the Hazelden Foundation and Hope-One. He holds a Doctorate of Professional Practice and is the only clinician in Europe, as far as is known, whose doctoral research focused specifically on male eating disorders from an analytical psychology perspective. His training in executive coaching was completed at ESSEC, one of the leading European business schools.
What this range means in practice is that the work is not forced to fit a single method. Some people need the steady, open-ended exploration of longer-term psychotherapy. Others arrive with a specific trauma that EMDR can help resolve, or an addiction that calls for experienced, specialist care. The approach is chosen for the person, rather than the person fitted to the approach.
Who comes to Harley Street
People arrive for many different reasons. Some are senior professionals whose working lives look successful from the outside while something underneath has stopped working. Some are carrying anxiety or low mood that has quietly become the background to everything. Others are facing a bereavement, a relationship that has become hard to inhabit, an eating difficulty, or a dependence that has moved from habit into something heavier. Some have had therapy before and want greater depth. Others are coming to it for the first time.
The practice works with adults, and appointments can be arranged at times that fit around demanding schedules. For those who cannot attend in person, or who simply prefer it, the same work is available online.
What clients say
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 here and to sense whether this is the right place to continue. There is no obligation afterwards, and confidentiality is strict.

How the work is delivered from here
All international sessions are by secure video, in English or French. Online therapy is not a reduced version of consulting room work: it is the format that lets weekly work survive living abroad, travelling, or relocating. Sessions run in United Kingdom hours, which suits most regions, and if your time zone makes none of it workable, say so when you enquire rather than assuming it rules you out.
For clinicians and treatment services
Dr Jacquet supervises clinical teams in private residential addiction treatment and in a private psychiatric hospital. For treatment centres, psychiatric units and group practices looking for external clinical supervision, including in places where no supervisor of this seniority is available locally, team supervision is also delivered by video. For individual practitioners, see clinical supervision.
