Eating disorder treatment for Tokyo, private and online
Dr Philippe Jacquet offers private, English-speaking eating disorder treatment to people in Tokyo, online by secure video. He holds a Doctorate of Professional Practice on male eating disorders, from an analytical psychology perspective, with more than 25 years of clinical experience, and treats anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and body-image difficulties in both women and men, with a particular specialism in male eating disorders, which are routinely missed.
Why specialist help matters, and why online works
Eating disorders are serious and often hidden, and in a city like Tokyo they can hide even more easily: inside a demanding job, a fitness routine, or the discipline expatriate life seems to reward. Specialist, English-speaking care is scarce locally, and the shame that surrounds these difficulties keeps many people from seeking help at all. Working online removes those barriers. Sessions follow the same protocol and depth as in-person work, in your own language, with complete discretion and no local footprint. The work reaches beneath the behaviour to the anxiety, control and self-worth it has come to carry.
Insurance and confidentiality
Dr Jacquet works with major private health insurers, including the international plans common among Tokyo’s expatriate professionals. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, firm or third party without your consent, save for the narrow legal and safeguarding limits explained at the outset.
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.
Common questions
Is eating disorder treatment available online in Tokyo?
Yes. Sessions are held online by secure video, in English, with the same clinical depth as in-person work and strict confidentiality. Times are arranged around the difference in time zones.
Do you work with international health insurance?
Yes. Outside the UK these are global private health plans, such as Bupa Global, Cigna Global and AXA Global Healthcare, and they work by reimbursement rather than direct billing: you pay for the session and Dr Jacquet provides a fully itemised invoice, carrying the registration details insurers ask for, which you submit to your plan. Cover varies by policy, so it is worth confirming your own outpatient mental health benefit before starting. The international private health plans common among Tokyo expatriates often cover this kind of specialist care.
