Therapy in Colchester – Compassionate Support Close to Home
At Philippe Jacquet & Associates in Colchester, we offer the same clinical expertise and professionalism found at our Harley Street practice, delivered in a warm and approachable local setting. Individuals, couples, and families are welcomed into a safe, confidential space where difficulties can be explored with care and understanding.
Our integrative approach draws on CBT, psychodynamic, humanistic, and mindfulness-based therapies. Sessions are tailored to your needs and may support concerns such as anxiety, low mood, stress, sleep problems, or relationship difficulties. Therapy is available in person or online and always moves at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Psychotherapy in Colchester
Your therapy begins with a thoughtful assessment, allowing us to understand your experiences, strengths, and what you would like to change. Together, we agree on clear and meaningful goals, whether that involves reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or restoring emotional balance.
Some sessions focus on practical strategies such as calming techniques, emotional regulation, or healthier routines. Others may explore deeper patterns linked to trauma, loss, burnout, or perfectionism. Each session is collaborative and designed to leave you with insight and practical tools you can use in everyday life.
Counselling in Colchester
Our counselling services are flexible and responsive. We offer short-term counselling for specific concerns, open-ended psychotherapy for deeper work, couples therapy, and parent or carer consultations. When helpful, we can liaise with GPs or other professionals to ensure your care feels consistent and well supported.
Evening appointments and clear communication help make therapy accessible alongside work, study, or family commitments.
Therapists in Colchester
Our Colchester therapists provide local care with the same high standards as our central London team. We understand the pressures of modern life, including academic demands, high-stress work, family responsibilities, and major life transitions.
Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and develop skills such as setting boundaries, making values-led decisions, and rebuilding balance. Where appropriate, we can also provide clinical letters or reports for schools, employers, or other services.
Addiction Counselling in Colchester
Addiction, whether related to alcohol, substances, gambling, gaming, or other behaviours, can feel isolating and overwhelming. Our addiction counselling provides compassionate, structured support that addresses triggers, cravings, and relapse prevention.
We also explore underlying factors such as anxiety, trauma, or sleep difficulties. Partner or family sessions can be included to improve communication and strengthen the support network around recovery.
Eating Disorder Support in Colchester
We offer specialist support for eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, OSFED, and disordered eating. Care is collaborative and sensitive, combining emotional support with practical steps towards recovery.
Sessions may include work around nutrition, body image flexibility, balanced routines, and relapse prevention. For some clients, this involves gentle exposure around meals or social situations. Families are often involved to help create a safer and more supportive recovery environment.
