Financial Therapy
Finding Purpose in life - for affluent IndIviduals
Ultra High Net Worth Individuals often encounter unique social, economic, and mental health challenges that require a specialised and tailored therapeutic lens or approach.
Very frequently, clients report navigating:
1.Feelings of isolation due to judgement or rejection
2. The stress of expectations
3. Self-identity outside of wealth
4. Underspending or overspending
5. Succession in the family business
6. Feeling stifled and voiceless because your philosophy in life differs from your family’s
7. Numbing Depression
If this resonates with you, then you might benefit from working together. The priority will always be your emotional well-being — and not your wealth.
Loss of Identity
Very commonly, ultra high net worth individuals experience a loss of identity stemming from a discrepancy between the outer self and inner self. The outer self is revered and appears successful and happy–expensive personal assets and lifestyle might feed into this notion. Outsiders may falsely assume that someone wealthy “has it all” or that “money buys happiness.” The inner self, however, experiences a struggle steeped in anxiety, relentless worries, and feelings of isolation due to not being able to relate to others.
Not being able to form meaningful relationships can be discouraging and frustrating. It can be difficult to trust anyone–are others only befriending me to gain access to the family name or fortune? And those in one’s inner circle are often too busy to have time to true connections or confide in personal struggles.
Worse yet, one tries to follow one’s own path–but there are expectations to continue the family’s legacy, and those expectations weigh heavily. It can feel impossible at times to make one’s family understand that one might want something different. This can feel utterly disheartening.
With so much tied to one’s financial freedoms, it can be challenging to comprehend exactly who one is outside it all.

I’ve tried therapy before but it didn’t help me. I don’t want to go through all of those details again.

My family is falling apart, but I’m the only one who wants to try THERAPEUTIC support.
Common Questions
My problems feel insignificant compared to others. I’m afraid I’d be wasting your time.
Absolutely not. Your problems are not small and you would not be wasting my name. No matter what issues you are facing, addressing them is an effective use of our time together. If something is bothering you, then it is worth bringing up.
It is discouraging when family members are not ready to start therapy as a family unit. Nonetheless, it can still be beneficial to start your journey towards healing and self-discovery by yourself. As time goes on and your family witnesses the impact it has on you, they may change their minds.
