Addiction counselling for Abu Dhabi, online and confidential
For people living in Abu Dhabi, Dr Philippe Jacquet offers confidential, specialist addiction counselling online by secure video, in English and French. He trained as an addiction specialist at the Hazelden Foundation, the international benchmark in addiction treatment, and has twenty-five years of clinical experience, including supervising the clinical teams at PROMIS Recovery Centre and at Cardinal Clinic, a private psychiatric hospital rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.
Discreet help without a residential stay
For senior professionals, founders and internationally mobile families, the difficulty is rarely access to resources. It is finding genuinely specialist, English-speaking help that can be undertaken in complete confidence, without exposure and without a record that goes anywhere it should not. Going to a residential clinic means absence and disclosure. The alternative offered here is intensive, consistent one-to-one work, conducted privately, on the client’s schedule and in their timezone.
What is treated
The work covers the full range of addictions: alcohol dependency, including high-functioning presentations where professional life appears intact but the relationship with alcohol has crossed a line; cocaine and stimulant use; prescription medication dependency; gambling and behavioural addictions; and sex and pornography addiction. Recovery is treated as a long-term process that addresses the underlying psychological drivers, and the trauma the addiction was often managing in the first place.

Confidential, and outside the local world
In a relatively small and visible community, discretion matters. Working online with a senior practitioner outside the region gives clients a genuinely private space and a depth of clinical training not always available locally. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, family member or third party without explicit consent.

Common questions
Is addiction counselling available online in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Dr Jacquet works with clients in Abu Dhabi online by secure video, in English and French, with the same clinical depth as in-person work and complete discretion.
Is it confidential?
Strictly. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, family member or third party without explicit consent. For professionals and people in the public eye, that discretion is central to the work.
Do I need to go to residential rehab?
Not necessarily. Many people who cannot step away from their responsibilities for weeks do their recovery work through intensive, confidential one-to-one therapy that addresses the underlying causes, not only the behaviour.
