Hypnotherapy on Harley Street
Harley Street has been London’s centre for private specialist medicine for over a century. Dr Jacquet’s practice has been located here since 2002, in discreet, consulting-room premises a few minutes from Regent’s Park, within one of the most recognised medical addresses in the world.
Clinical hypnotherapy at this practice is not a standalone technique offered in isolation. It is delivered within a psychotherapeutic frame, by clinicians who are trained psychotherapists first, and who have integrated hypnotherapy as a precise tool for specific clinical presentations. This is the structural reason the outcomes here tend to go further than those achieved by hypnotherapy-only practitioners.
What is treated at this location
The Harley Street practice addresses the full range of hypnotherapy presentations, with particular strength in:, Anxiety and performance, examination nerves, public speaking, interview anxiety, fear of flying, Addictive behaviours, smoking cessation is one of the most reliably effective hypnotherapy applications, Phobias, flying, needles, medical procedures, heights, social situations, Confidence and self-esteem, particularly for executives and professionals under sustained pressure, Sleep and stress, insomnia, chronic stress response, difficulty disengaging from work, Eating disorder support, hypnotherapy as an adjunct within Dr Jacquet’s doctoral-level eating disorder work
For presentations that require a broader clinical approach (trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties) hypnotherapy is integrated into wider psychotherapy at the same address.
The Harley Street consulting room
Sessions take place in a private consulting room with a separate entrance and exit. The setting is formal but unhurried. There is no waiting room shared with other patients. Discretion is the baseline, not a feature.
The building is located in the W1G postcode, a short walk from Oxford Circus and Regent’s Park underground stations. Street-level entry. Lift access available.
Appointments run to 50 or 90 minutes depending on what is being addressed. There is no pressure between sessions. Dr Jacquet and his associates do not operate a high-volume clinic model, the number of clients seen each week is deliberately limited to protect the quality of the work.
Booking a Harley Street hypnotherapy session
An initial consultation is the starting point for all hypnotherapy at this practice. This is a 50-minute clinical assessment (not a sales conversation) designed to establish whether hypnotherapy is the right approach for your specific presentation, and if so, to design the work appropriately.
Sessions are available Monday to Saturday. Evening appointments can be arranged on request. Online sessions are available for those who cannot attend in person, see the full hypnotherapy service page for more on what can be addressed remotely.
Dr Philippe Jacquet is a UKCP registered psychotherapist, a Jungian analyst and an HCPC registered art psychotherapist, with twenty-five years of clinical practice. His Doctorate of Professional Practice at the University of Essex examined male eating disorders from the perspective of analytical psychology. Registration can be checked on either public register.
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.
