Eating disorder therapy in Marbella
Specialist, English-speaking eating disorder treatment is hard to find on the Costa del Sol. Marbella’s large international and expatriate community is well served for general wellbeing, but provision with genuine clinical depth for serious eating disorders, in English, is scarce, particularly for adults and for men.
This practice offers specialist eating disorder therapy in Marbella, in person and online, conducted in English and French, by a practitioner with doctoral-level expertise in this field.
The expertise
Dr Jacquet holds a Doctorate of Professional Practice with research focused specifically on eating disorders, and is the only person in Europe to hold a doctorate in this area. The approach is integrative and Jungian: not symptom management, but understanding what the eating behaviour is doing, what it protects against, and what it would take to address its underlying function.
He works with the full range: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and the male eating disorder presentations that most services fail to identify.
Male eating disorders
Men with eating disorders are consistently under-recognised, often told that what they are experiencing does not qualify. Dr Jacquet’s doctoral research was specifically on eating disorders in men, and this practice treats them with the seriousness they require. You can read the full specialist page on male eating disorder treatment.
In person and online
Sessions take place at the Marbella consulting rooms or by secure video, with continuity maintained between visits for clients who travel. There is no waiting list and no referral needed.
This work forms part of a wider eating disorder specialism based in London, and sits alongside the full range of therapy and coaching in Marbella.
