Online eating disorder therapy in Nairobi
Specialist eating disorder treatment, in English and at genuine clinical depth, is very hard to access in Nairobi and across East Africa. For serious eating disorders, particularly in adults and in men, private specialist provision is effectively absent in the region.
This practice offers specialist eating disorder therapy online to clients in Nairobi and across Kenya, conducted in English by a practitioner with doctoral-level expertise in the 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 addressing its underlying function would require.
The full range is treated: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and the male eating disorder presentations that most services fail to identify.
Online sessions
Sessions take place by secure video link, which makes genuinely specialist care reachable from anywhere in Kenya without travel. There is no waiting list and no referral needed; contact the practice directly to arrange an initial consultation.
Male eating disorders
Men with eating disorders are consistently under-recognised and under-treated. Dr Jacquet’s doctoral research was specifically on eating disorders in men, and this practice provides that specialist treatment without qualification. Read the full specialist page on male eating disorder treatment.
This work forms part of a wider eating disorder specialism based in London, delivered online alongside the practice’s psychotherapy services in Nairobi.
