Spear’s Review

A well-known media personality who counts billionaires among his clients, Dr Raj Persaud worked as a consultant psychiatrist at the Bethlem and Maudsley hospitals for 14 years before setting up his own practice.

In addition to knowing the importance of discretion and confidentiality to UHNWs, Persaud is well aware of the challenges that wealth can bring. ‘Money doesn’t resolve relationship or emotional issues,’ he tells Spear’s, ‘and indeed in many cases wealth actually exacerbates everyday life predicaments.’ He adds that ‘the availability of high-quality independent healthcare in the Harley Street area of London is an essential aspect of why London is the favoured international city for HNWs’.

Persaud has presented a wide range of programmes about psychiatry on several channels including the BBC, and has written for the likes of the Daily Telegraph and the Independent, as well as authoring several books.
