Eating disorder treatment in Paris
Eating disorders in Paris carry a particular dimension. The culture of food, appearance, and the body (part of what makes Paris Paris) can be genuinely hostile for someone struggling with an eating disorder. The visibility of thinness as aesthetic. The centrality of eating in social life. The pressure on bodies in a city where fashion operates as a public language.
Dr Jacquet is the only practitioner in Europe with doctoral research specifically on male eating disorders from an analytical psychology perspective. He treats all presentations (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, orthorexia) in men and women, in English and French.
The clinical approach
Eating disorders are not dietary problems or matters of willpower. They are disorders of identity, emotion, and psychological structure requiring depth clinical work. CBT has a role and its limits. A symptom displaced is not a symptom resolved. The approach here addresses the structure beneath the symptom.

How the work is delivered from here
All international sessions are by secure video, in English or French. Online therapy is not a reduced version of consulting room work: it is the format that lets weekly work survive living abroad, travelling, or relocating. Sessions run in United Kingdom hours, which suits most regions, and if your time zone makes none of it workable, say so when you enquire rather than assuming it rules you out.
For clinicians and treatment services
Dr Jacquet supervises clinical teams in private residential addiction treatment and in a private psychiatric hospital. For treatment centres, psychiatric units and group practices looking for external clinical supervision, including in places where no supervisor of this seniority is available locally, team supervision is also delivered by video. For individual practitioners, see clinical supervision.
