Couples Counselling

Couples and marriage counselling for Cyprus, online

For couples in Limassol, Nicosia, Paphos and Larnaca, Dr Philippe Jacquet offers confidential couples and marriage counselling online by secure video, in English and French.

The couple who relocated

A great many couples in Cyprus arrived because one partner’s company moved here. Technology, shipping, finance and trading firms brought whole teams, and the families came with them. The partner whose job it was usually has a structure: an office, colleagues, a reason for being here. The other partner often had to rebuild everything from nothing, sometimes in a place they did not choose and a language they do not speak.

That imbalance can sit quietly for a year or two and then come out as resentment, distance, or arguments that are not really about what they seem to be about.

Limassol is also small. The relocated professional community overlaps at work, at school gates and socially, which makes it hard to be openly unhappy without it becoming common knowledge.

What couples work addresses

Couples come for communication that has broken down, recurring conflict, the strain of relocation, intimacy that has faded, the aftermath of an affair, or the sense of living parallel lives. The work is not about blame. It is about understanding the pattern between you and finding a way out of it.

Where one partner has been betrayed, that injury often needs its own attention first. Betrayal trauma explains why.

Two languages in one room

Many couples here come from two different countries. Sessions can be held in English, in French, or in both, so each of you can speak in the language you feel things in.

Private, outside the local circle

Working online with a practitioner based in London keeps the work entirely outside Cyprus. No clinic visit, nobody you know in a waiting room, no local record.

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.
