Counselling and psychotherapy for Saudi Arabia, online
For people in Riyadh, Jeddah and across Saudi Arabia, Dr Philippe Jacquet offers confidential counselling and psychotherapy online by secure video, in English and French. He is a Jungian analyst and integrative psychotherapist with twenty-five years of clinical experience. The online format suits senior professionals, returning nationals and internationally mobile families, and keeps the work steady through travel and relocation.
What counselling can help with
People come for many reasons: anxiety that has become hard to manage, low mood or depression, stress and burnout from high-pressure work, the strain of professional life and rapid change, relationships under pressure, or a quieter sense that something is missing even when life looks successful. Counselling is not only for crisis. It is a space to understand what is happening and why, and to find a different way through.
The approach is integrative and depth-oriented, attending to what sits beneath the symptoms so that change holds. Where useful, it draws on the deeper frame of Jungian analysis and the practice’s wider counselling and psychotherapy.
Confidential, and outside the local world
In Saudi Arabia, where privacy is paramount, many people are reluctant to seek help where they might be recognised. Working online with a practitioner based outside the country gives a genuinely private space. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, family member or third party without your consent, save for the narrow legal and safeguarding limits every registered practitioner is bound by, which are 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.
