Saudi Arabia

Psychotherapy and counselling for Saudi Arabia, online

For people in Riyadh, Jeddah and across Saudi Arabia, Dr Philippe Jacquet offers confidential psychotherapy, counselling and coaching online by secure video. He is a Jungian analyst with twenty-five years of clinical experience and an executive coach trained at ESSEC Business School, working in English and French. The online format suits a fast-changing country of senior professionals, returning Saudi nationals and internationally mobile families, and keeps the work continuous through travel.

What is available

The practice works across the full range of adult difficulty, all online: counselling and psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions; couples and marriage counselling; EMDR for trauma, with more than twenty years of practice; executive coaching for senior leaders; and discreet, confidential support for addiction and eating disorders. It also draws on Jungian analysis for questions of meaning and direction.

Why discretion matters, and why people choose an outside practitioner

In Saudi Arabia, privacy is paramount, and many people are understandably reluctant to seek help where they might be recognised. Working online with a practitioner based outside the country removes that concern entirely. The space is genuinely private, one to one, with no group setting and no local record, and it offers a depth of training that is not always available locally. For executives, founders, public figures and internationally mobile families, that confidentiality is the condition that makes the work possible. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, family member or third party without explicit consent.

Executive coaching for Saudi leaders

For founders, executives and senior professionals across Saudi Arabia’s rapidly developing economy, the coaching here combines the rigour of an ESSEC business-school training with the depth of Jungian analysis. It works not only on performance and leadership behaviour, but on what drives them. You can read more on the executive coaching page.

Therapy that fits life in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is changing quickly, and with it the pressures on senior professionals, returning nationals and the large expatriate workforce in Riyadh and Jeddah. Yet stigma around emotional difficulty remains strong, and many people are understandably wary of seeking help where they might be known. Depth-oriented therapy in English or French, delivered with complete discretion from outside the country, offers a way through that local options often cannot.

How online sessions work from Saudi Arabia

Sessions are by secure video, scheduled around a small time difference (Saudi Arabia is two to three hours ahead of London). The format keeps the work continuous through travel between cities or abroad, and meeting privately, with a practitioner entirely outside the local world, is precisely what allows people to speak openly when discretion matters most.
