The Ethos of the Monaco Practice

There are two ways to offer psychological support. The first is to address what is presented — the symptom, the problem, the difficulty — and work to reduce it to a manageable level. This is often useful. It is sometimes sufficient. But it leaves the deeper structure of the person’s life intact, including whatever conditions produced the difficulty in the first place.

The second way is to take the presenting difficulty seriously as a communication — from the self about the self, about what is not being lived, what is being avoided, what has not been integrated — and to work at that level. This is what Jungian analysis, in its depth, enables. It is slower, more demanding, and more transformative.

Dr Jacquet practices from the second orientation. The Monaco practice exists for clients who want and can tolerate that depth — who are not looking for the management of symptoms but for a genuine reckoning with what is actually there.

Discretion

The Monaco practice operates under absolute discretion. This is not merely a statement of professional ethics — it is a structural commitment. No information discussed in sessions is disclosed, documented beyond minimum professional requirements, or accessible to any third party without explicit written consent. The relationship is private in the fullest sense of the word.
