UHNW Therapy and Wealth Psychology Rehabilitation

Dr Lami, Wealth therapist and psychologist to UHNW individuals, was interviewed for a recent article in the Guardian about high end Swiss rehab clinics for UHNW Therapy and Wealth Psychology Rehabilitation.

Whether born into wealth, or acquired; many people of wealth can experience issues with mental health, well-being, trust and relationships. While wealth provides opportunity it can also lead to friction, self-destructive behavior and addiction.

I recall that when I started working in the field of Wealth Psychology back in 2000 almost no-one new about it. Nowadays the ultra-exclusive mental health treatment is one of many new micro-industries that have sprung up to serve high-net-worth. So much so that the Spears 500, the annual index of advisory services, now recommends experts on everything from vineyard acquisition to crypto reputation management.

With an increase in generational wealth transfer each year, people are looking for specialized professionals who understand the specific intricacies of succession planning and generational wealth transfer. The desire is for a service that comes in a bespoke, exclusive form, a private jet rather than a commercial airline. The article by Sophy Elmhirst wrote is an interesting read and covers some of the mental health challenges faced by wealth and the issues that can arise.

Enjoy!

Preparing the Next Generation for Wealth Transfer

One of the key topics that resonated with the audience was how parents can prepare their children for a successful wealth transfer. Many asked about the ideal age to start this preparation and the areas that should be covered.

I touched upon the eight essential areas that wealthy parents need to focus on to facilitate a successful transfer. These include teaching financial literacy, fostering emotional resilience, understanding the family dynamic and its impact of wealth transfer, being able to establish healthy communication channels, understanding the family wealth system, and instilling a shared sense of family values.

My Estate Planning and Wealth Transfer program is specifically designed to address these areas. The program offers actionable tools, interactive exercises, and evidence-based strategies to help families manage the complexities of intergenerational wealth. The programs ensure that estate planning is done with the utmost care for the legal aspects as well as the psychological and emotional one, and that wealth transitions are not only seamless but also deeply meaningful, strengthening family bonds and aligning wealth with the values that matter most.

I encourage readers to explore and inquire about this online program, which provides a comprehensive roadmap for building a legacy that goes beyond financial success. It equips families with the knowledge and skills to create enduring connections and sustainable wealth strategies across generations.

A Glimpse into a Subsequent Session

Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, delivered a compelling keynote titled “Centuries in the Making: Evolutionary Strategies for Wealth and Legacy Preservation in a Changing World.” Drawing on the Spencer family’s centuries-long history, he provided unique insights into the evolution of wealth management strategies and their relevance in today’s world.

He shared approaches for preserving and growing family wealth while staying true to core family values and philanthropic commitments. His keynote also highlighted the need to adapt historical wealth strategies to meet contemporary challenges such as globalization, technological advancements, and economic uncertainties.

Earl Spencer brought these lessons to life through personal stories and leadership insights, offering practical guidance on resilience and stewardship for maintaining enduring family legacies.

Other topics throughout the summit included the evolution of wealth management strategies, the role of philanthropy in shaping family legacies, and innovative approaches to aligning personal values with financial goals. These conversations offered attendees a holistic perspective on the opportunities and challenges that come with wealth in today’s world.
