Couples and marriage counselling for Kuwait, online
For couples in Kuwait, Dr Philippe Jacquet offers confidential couples and marriage counselling online by secure video, in English and French. The work takes place entirely outside the country and outside the family circle.
A marriage is rarely only two people
In Kuwait a marriage sits inside two families, and both are present in it: in the expectations, the visits, the opinions about children and money, and sometimes in the decisions themselves. That closeness is a real source of strength. It can also leave a couple with no place where only the two of them are in the room.
For expatriate couples the pressure is different but just as real: contracts that dictate where you live, long summers when one partner and the children leave and the other stays to work, and a marriage that has to restart every September.
What couples work addresses
Couples come for communication that has broken down, the same argument repeating, the strain of family involvement, intimacy that has faded, the aftermath of an affair, or two people who have quietly stopped expecting anything of each other. The work is not about blame. It is about understanding what keeps happening between you, and finding a way to change it.
Where one partner has discovered a betrayal, that injury often needs its own attention first. Betrayal trauma explains why, and how it is treated.
In English, in French, or both
Sessions can be held in English, in French, or in both, so that each partner can speak in the language they feel most themselves in.
Independent, and private
Working online with an independent practitioner based in London gives couples in Kuwait a space that belongs to neither family and to no institution. Nothing is recorded locally, and nothing is shared without consent.

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.
Common questions
Is couples counselling available online in Kuwait?
Yes. Sessions are held online by secure video, in English and French, with both partners together or separately as needed.
Our families are very involved in our marriage. Is that something couples work can address?
Yes. The place of the wider family is often central to what a couple is struggling with, and it can be talked about openly in a space the family is not part of.
Is it confidential?
Strictly. Nothing is shared with either family, an employer or anyone else without the consent of both partners, save for the narrow legal and safeguarding limits explained at the outset.
