“The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.” – Thales
Philippe Jacquet & Associates has provided specialist psychological therapy from the heart of London for over two decades. Our integrative approach — drawing on Jungian analytical psychology, CBT, and depth-psychological frameworks — is carefully matched to the individual needs of each client.
Philippe Jacquet holds a Doctorate in Professional Studies from the University of Essex, with a unique clinical and research focus on eating disorders in male populations. He is widely recognised as one of the most distinctively qualified practitioners in the UK working at this intersection of Jungian psychology and disordered eating.
“Knowing yourself deeply — not just intellectually, but at the level of lived experience — is the foundation of lasting change.”
Our Central London and Harley Street team takes a holistic, person-centred approach to mental health. Rather than applying a fixed protocol, each therapist works collaboratively with clients to design an authentic treatment plan — one that may draw on psychotherapy, counselling, art therapy, hypnotherapy, or depth-psychological methods depending on what is most helpful.
We work with a wide range of presentations including:
• Eating disorders — including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID
• Addiction — alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex addiction, and behavioural compulsions
• Trauma and PTSD — including complex developmental trauma
• Anxiety, depression, and burnout
• Relationship difficulties and attachment challenges
• Life transition — identity, meaning, and midlife
• Male-specific presentations — body image, disordered eating, and emotional avoidance
This holistic approach allows each central London psychotherapist and therapist Central London to design authentic, tailor-made treatment plans. Depending on individual needs, programmes may include psychotherapy counselling, private counselling London, counselling in London, art therapy, hypnotherapy, and learning-based methods such as vicarious learning, ensuring meaningful and lasting therapeutic outcomes.
Every member of the Philippe Jacquet & Associates team holds full professional accreditation and adheres to the ethical standards of their registering body. We are recognised by major private health insurers including Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, and Cigna. Evening and weekend appointments are available across all locations for those requiring discretion.
We operate from four UK locations — Harley Street (W1), Mayfair (W1K), Bermondsey (SE1), and Colchester — as well as internationally in Paris, Brussels, Marbella, Monaco, Dubai, and Nairobi. Online therapy is available worldwide.
How psychotherapy and counselling can help you
There are many ways that psychotherapy and counselling can help you, depending on your personal circumstances. For some people, it helps them overcome trauma, while for others, it can help them find meaning and purpose in their lives. It’s not so much about finding the root cause of a problem, but about becoming more resilient to any future pain and managing your emotions.
We have psychotherapy clinics in Harley Street, Central London, Bermondsey, Colchester, and overseas. We offer a tailor-made approach designed to meet individual patients’ specific needs because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to better mental health. This can mean using various methods in varying degrees so that everything we do during our sessions best helps you.
At Philippe Jacquet & Associates, we offer an extensive range of psychological counselling and therapy options for individuals, couples, and families. Our services include addiction treatment, anxiety therapy London, depression counselling, couples therapy, eating disorder treatment, and hypnotherapy in the City of London.
Each Philippe Jacquet psychotherapist London focuses on identifying the most suitable therapeutic path for every client. Whether you need addiction counselling, eating disorder counselling, or private psychotherapy, we deliver compassionate, evidence-based support that empowers long-term mental and emotional wellbeing.
To arrange an initial consultation for counselling or psychotherapy in London, Colchester, or online, please contact our clinic today, either by phone (+44 03333392430) or email.
Counselling tends to suit people who want practical support with a specific, present-focused challenge — a difficult relationship, work stress, or grief. Psychotherapy is usually more appropriate when you want to understand deeper patterns: why you keep ending up in the same situations, or why certain feelings seem disproportionate. Many clients find that what begins as counselling naturally opens into psychotherapeutic territory. At Philippe Jacquet & Associates, we assess this together in your initial consultation, with no pressure.
Yes. Philippe Jacquet & Associates is recognised by Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, and Cigna. We recommend confirming the specific terms of your policy before your first session, as coverage for psychotherapy varies by plan. Our team can provide receipts in the format required by your insurer.
This depends entirely on you and what you bring. Some clients reach their goals in 8–12 focused sessions. Others benefit from longer-term analytical work that unfolds over months or years. We discuss this honestly in your initial consultation and review it regularly throughout therapy — there is no financial incentive to extend treatment unnecessarily.
Both. We see clients in person at Harley Street, Mayfair, Bermondsey, and Colchester. We also offer fully confidential online therapy sessions, which are equally effective for most presentations. International clients are welcome.
Three things distinguish us: doctoral-level specialist expertise in eating disorders and Jungian analytical work; genuine clinical depth across the team rather than a roster of generalists; and a commitment to confidentiality that includes out-of-hours appointments and the option to attend without your name appearing on any external system.
Yes, online psychotherapy and private counselling London sessions are just as effective as in-person appointments. Our experienced London psychotherapists and hypnotherapists ensure you receive the same professional guidance and confidentiality in a secure virtual setting.
Absolutely. Anxiety therapy London and psychological counselling are highly effective for managing workplace stress and burnout. Philippe Jacquet psychotherapist London and his team help clients build coping mechanisms, improve focus, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
A qualified psychotherapist or hypnotherapist London should hold accredited training in psychotherapy and counselling, along with professional registration. Every Philippe Jacquet psychotherapist London practitioner is certified, highly experienced, and adheres to ethical standards of care.
The cost of psychotherapy London varies depending on the therapy type and session length. At Philippe Jacquet & Associates, we provide transparent pricing for private counselling, addiction treatment, and eating disorder counselling during your initial consultation.
