Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorder treatment for Abu Dhabi, online

Dr Philippe Jacquet offers confidential, specialist treatment for eating disorders to people in Abu Dhabi, online by secure video, in English and French. The work covers the full range of presentations: anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and the disordered patterns that do not fit a neat label but quietly take over a person’s relationship with food and their body.

The treatment is not primarily about food. It is about what food and the body have come to carry, the control, the comfort, the punishment or the disappearance, and why. Understanding that is what makes lasting change possible.

Particular expertise with men

Eating disorders in men are far more common than is generally assumed, and far less often recognised. Dr Jacquet holds a doctorate in male eating disorders, and much of his clinical work has been with men who carried shame about having what they believed was a woman’s illness. You can read more on the eating disorder and male eating disorders pages.

Confidential and online

Sessions are held online by secure video, in strict confidentiality. For clients who also need medical monitoring, the psychological work runs alongside local medical care. Nothing is disclosed to any third party without your consent, save for the narrow legal and safeguarding limits explained at the outset.

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.
