Addiction counselling in Paris
Specialist, English-speaking addiction treatment is hard to access in Paris. For the city’s large international and expatriate community, private help with genuine clinical depth, and in English, is in short supply.
This practice offers specialist addiction treatment in Paris, in person and online, in English and French, with a Hazelden-trained specialist of 25 years’ experience.
The approach
Treatment is not primarily about stopping a behaviour, but about understanding what it has been doing, what it manages, protects against, or makes bearable. Addiction is rarely a failure of willpower; it is usually a solution to something, and effective treatment starts there. The work draws on Dr Jacquet’s training at the Hazelden Foundation and his supervision of the clinical teams at PROMIS and the Cardinal Clinic.
The full range is treated: alcohol and cocaine addiction, gambling, and sex and pornography addiction.
In person and online
Sessions take place in person in Paris or by secure video, in strict confidence, with continuity maintained between visits. There is no waiting list and no referral needed.
This forms part of the practice’s wider addiction counselling in London, alongside the practice’s English-speaking psychotherapy in Paris.
