Trauma counselling and EMDR for Tokyo
Dr Philippe Jacquet offers private, English-speaking trauma therapy and EMDR to people in Tokyo, online by secure video, drawing on more than twenty years of EMDR practice. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is one of the most effective evidence-based treatments for trauma and post-traumatic stress, and it works by helping the mind reprocess distressing memories so they lose their grip on the present.
When trauma follows you abroad
Trauma does not stay behind when you relocate. A difficult past, a bereavement, an accident, an assault, or the accumulated strain of a high-pressure life can surface far from home, often at the least convenient moment, and the isolation of expatriate life in Tokyo can make it harder to face alone and harder to find help for in your own language. Working online removes that barrier: the full EMDR protocol is delivered by secure video, in English, with the same depth as in the consulting room, and complete confidentiality.
Insurance and confidentiality
Dr Jacquet works with major private health insurers, including the international plans common among Tokyo’s expatriate professionals. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, firm or third party without your explicit consent.
Common questions
Is EMDR available online in Tokyo?
Yes. EMDR is delivered effectively online by secure video, in English, following the same protocol as in-person work, with sessions scheduled around the time difference.
Do you work with international health insurance?
Yes. Dr Jacquet works with major insurers including Bupa, Cigna, AXA and Aviva. The international private health plans common in Tokyo often cover this kind of specialist care.
