English-Speaking psychotherapy in Paris
Finding an English-speaking therapist in Paris with genuine specialist expertise (not general counselling but the ability to work with complex trauma, eating disorders, addiction, or depth analytical work) is significantly harder than it should be. Most available English-language therapy in Paris operates at a counselling level. This practice offers Harley Street specialism, in English and French.
Why English-Language therapy
Therapy in a second language is clinically thinner. The emotional vocabulary is smaller, the associative reach more limited, the spontaneous word does not come. For people whose most formative experiences happened in English (even those who speak French fluently in other contexts) working in English is a clinical requirement, not merely a preference.
The Jungian approach in Paris
Dr Jacquet is a trained Jungian analyst. The Jungian dimension is particularly suited to clients in Paris, a city with a rich intellectual tradition that takes the interior life seriously. Jungian analysis works with dreams, the unconscious, and the symbolic dimensions of experience alongside conventional clinical material.
Sessions
In person during Dr Jacquet’s regular Paris visits. Online via secure video between visits and for clients who prefer them. Online therapy provides full clinical depth once the therapeutic relationship is established.

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.
