What is Wealth Therapy?

There’s a bit of a myth about wealth and money. We think that wealth brings freedom from fear, certainty about your identity, clarity in relationships, and a consistent hum of contentment in the background. And for some, it does.

But for others, wealth introduces an entirely different set of challenges: subtle, unspoken, and often deeply disorienting.

As a therapist and business psychologist, I work with individuals and business owners who have “made it”and yet find themselves wrestling with an internal unease that their external success doesn’t seem to resolve. The difficut thing about feeling like this is that many others don’t understand, or think that you should just shut up. After all, what have you got to worry about, you’ve got money right?

Wealth therapy isn’t about making more money

It’s about making sense of what you already have. For business owners especially, wealth can become a mask you wear—one that says I’m fine, I’ve got this, or I’m the one everyone else can lean on. But being the person everyone turns to can be a lonely place. It also means that you’re the easy person to blame when things go wrong.

Wealth therapy invites you to take off the mask, privately and without performance. It’s a space to examine your success. To look at the systems you’ve built and whether they are supprting you. Wealth can help us to meet many of our needs, but there may be others you are neglecting.

We could explore:

Guilt —when you have more than those you love

Workaholism – when you can’t stop, even though you have enough

Unspoken grief—for the time, energy, or relationships lost on the way up

Discomfort with receiving—even when you’ve earned it ten times over

Fear of losing it all—or worse, of not knowing who you’d be without it

Isolation and trust – how can you connect with people who truly value you

Taking Action

This isn’t just naval gazing. We experiment with actions that help you feel better as quickly as possible.

Many clients have outgrown the version of themselves who chased the metrics, met the goals, and built the impressive life. They want to explore not just what’s next, but who’s next? What version of themselves could they be?

A Different Kind of Wealth

Wealth should feel safe, satisfying, and aligned. Not like a fortress you have to defend or a performance you must maintain.

You’ve done the work to build your success. Now, this is the work that lets you inhabit it.

If you sense that your wealth has brought freedom but not peace, or visibility but not intimacy, you are not alone—and you are not wrong for wanting more from it.

You may simply be ready for a different kind of wealth.
