Eating Disorder Therapy in Paris

Paris is not a neutral backdrop for eating disorders. A city whose culture has a particular and specific relationship with food, body, appearance and self-presentation does not make things easier for someone whose relationship with eating has become a primary means of managing distress. The social dimension of food in France — its ritualistic and relational importance — adds a specific layer of difficulty that therapists without cultural familiarity are often poorly equipped to address.

This practice offers specialist eating disorder therapy in Paris for English-speaking clients — online and in person, at a level of clinical expertise that is unusual.

Doctoral-Level Specialism

Dr Jacquet holds a Doctorate of Professional Practice with doctoral research focused specifically on eating disorders. He is the only person in Europe to hold a doctorate in this area. He works with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and male eating disorder presentations — a population that clinical services consistently underserve and misidentify. The approach is Jungian and integrative: concerned with what the eating behaviour is doing, not just with stopping it.
