Addiction counselling for the Channel Islands, private and confidential
Dr Philippe Jacquet offers private, specialist addiction counselling to people in Jersey, Guernsey and across the Channel Islands, online by secure video. He trained as an addiction specialist at the Hazelden Foundation and supervises the clinical teams at PROMIS Recovery Centre and at Cardinal Clinic, a private psychiatric hospital rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.
The island problem: nowhere to be anonymous
On a small island, discretion is almost impossible to protect. For finance, trust and legal professionals, seeing a local counsellor can mean meeting them again socially or across a deal. Going away to a residential clinic means an absence that will be noticed and questioned. Working online with a specialist in London solves both: intensive, consistent, private one-to-one work, with no local exposure and no record. It covers alcohol dependency including high-functioning presentations, cocaine and stimulants, prescription dependency, gambling, and sex and pornography addiction.

Confidential, and off the island
Nothing is disclosed to any employer, firm, family member or third party without explicit consent.
Common questions
Is addiction counselling available online in Jersey and Guernsey?
Yes. Dr Jacquet works with clients across the Channel Islands online by secure video, with complete discretion and no record kept outside the consultation.
Do I need residential rehab?
Not necessarily. Many senior professionals do their recovery work through intensive, confidential one-to-one therapy rather than an absence that would be noticed.
