People readily hire wealth managers to protect their assets and personal trainers to look after their physical health. Yet finding a life partner is often left entirely to chance, despite being the biggest single factor in our long-term happiness.
The Independent recently explored the rapidly growing "relationship wellness" sector, speaking with Mairead Molloy, Global Director of Berkeley International. The feature looks at why high net worth individuals are moving away from the swipe culture of dating apps and choosing to work with matchmaking professionals instead.
The skills that make someone highly successful in business are not always the ones needed for romance. Being trained to control variables, make quick decisions and guarantee outcomes can actually work against you when trying to build intimacy. This disconnect leads many accomplished people to seek a more considered, supportive alternative.
This is where a tailored, psychology-led approach makes the difference. Berkeley International operates with an extensive global network of specialists to provide a completely discreet experience. The focus is never just on surface-level criteria. Our team looks at shared values, emotional depth and long-term vision.
Mairead notes in the piece that relationship struggles can trigger a quiet sense of frustration for people who are used to succeeding in every other area of life. Working with an expert sounding board removes that pressure. It provides the psychological support needed to start dating with real confidence.
Harvard’s landmark Study of Adult Human Development showed that a strong personal relationship beats wealth, fame and social class as the number one predictor of a happy, long life. Investing in expertise and discretion makes it far more likely you will meet someone who truly aligns with your life.
