Addiction counselling for the Cayman Islands, private and confidential
Dr Philippe Jacquet offers private, specialist addiction counselling to people across the Cayman Islands, online by secure video. He trained as an addiction specialist at the Hazelden Foundation in the United States, and supervises the clinical teams at PROMIS Recovery Centre and at Cardinal Clinic, a private psychiatric hospital rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. This is consultant-level work, delivered with the same depth as at his Harley Street practice, and with none of the exposure that on-island help can carry.
The drinking that follows the deal
Cayman’s professional life runs on a heavy networking calendar. The George Town funds, captive-insurance and offshore-law community closes its year with punishing deadlines, and the socialising that surrounds the work is built around alcohol: client dinners, Seven Mile Beach sundowners, the drinks that mark the close of a fund’s year. In that culture, the drinking that has quietly stopped being social is easy to normalise and hard to name, because a career keeps flourishing while it takes hold. High-functioning alcohol dependency is precisely the presentation that thrives in an environment where everyone is drinking and everyone is performing.
Discreet help on a small island
Grand Cayman is small, and professional and social circles overlap almost completely. The people you would meet at a local service are the people you meet at work, at the club and at the school gate, which makes admitting a problem locally feel like an unacceptable risk to a reputation. Working online with a London specialist removes that risk entirely. There is no waiting room to be seen in and no local record; the work is intensive, consistent, one-to-one, and it avoids the unavoidable absence of a residential clinic that a demanding role cannot easily accommodate. It covers alcohol dependency including high-functioning presentations, cocaine and stimulants, prescription dependency, gambling, and sex and pornography addiction.

Insurance and confidentiality
Dr Jacquet works with major private health insurers, including the international plans common among Cayman’s expatriate professionals. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, firm or third party without your explicit consent, and online sessions leave no local footprint.
