Counselling

Counselling and psychotherapy for Abu Dhabi, online

For people living in Abu Dhabi, Dr Philippe Jacquet offers confidential counselling and psychotherapy online by secure video, in English and French. He is a Jungian analyst and integrative psychotherapist with twenty-five years of clinical experience, and more than 70,000 hours of sessions. The online format suits a city of internationally mobile professionals and families, and keeps the work steady regardless of travel or relocation.

What counselling can help with

People come for many reasons: anxiety that has become hard to manage, low mood or depression, stress and burnout from high-pressure work, the strain of expatriate life and distance from family, relationships under pressure, or a quieter sense that something is missing even when life looks successful. Counselling is not only for crisis. It is a space to understand what is happening and why, and to find a different way through.

The approach here is integrative and depth-oriented. Rather than only managing symptoms, the work attends to what sits beneath them, which is what allows change to hold rather than return once the immediate pressure passes. Where it is useful, it draws on the deeper frame of Jungian analysis and on the full range of the practice’s counselling and psychotherapy.

Confidential, and outside the local world

In a relatively small professional and social community, discretion matters. Working online with a practitioner outside Abu Dhabi gives clients a genuinely private space and a depth of training that is not always available locally. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, family member or third party without explicit consent.
