EMDR & Trauma

EMDR therapy for Luxembourg

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is the most strongly evidence-based treatment for psychological trauma, recommended by the WHO and by NICE as a first-line treatment for post-traumatic stress. Dr Philippe Jacquet has practised EMDR for more than twenty years, and offers it to people in Luxembourg online by secure video, in English and French, following the same protocol as in-person work.

Trauma in a mobile, high-pressure life

Luxembourg’s international population carries kinds of trauma that are easy to miss: officials and professionals who served in unstable regions before relocating, expatriates carrying the accumulated cost of repeated uprooting and separation, and people who have never found the space to address earlier abuse or loss. This kind of complex, diffuse trauma, without a single tidy event, needs a careful, staged approach, which is where twenty years of EMDR practice combined with analytic depth becomes clinically decisive.

EMDR and addiction

A significant proportion of people with an addiction carry unresolved trauma beneath it. Dr Jacquet’s dual training in EMDR and addiction lets him work on both, which is often the difference between a temporary stop and lasting recovery. Read more about EMDR and trauma therapy.

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.
