As part of Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, Swiss private treatment centre Kusnacht Practice brought leading voices together in London to discuss how mental health care is evolving to meet the complexities of modern life.
The discussion explored a growing understanding that mental health is closely linked to emotional wellbeing, physical health, lifestyle, environment and long-term support. Central to the Kusnacht Practice philosophy is the belief that lasting recovery requires deeply personalised, integrated care tailored to the individual.
Based in Zürich, Switzerland, the internationally renowned centre combines psychiatry, psychotherapy, addiction medicine, internal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle support within one coordinated clinical model. Treatments address conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, burnout, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and addiction.
“Success lies in our brain. Relationships, happiness, fulfilment, decisions – it all happens in our brain,” said Dr Antoinette Sarasin Gianduzzo, founder of the BIO-R Method and member of the Board of Directors at the Kusnacht Practice. “Thanks to neuroplasticity, at any age, we can improve our brain function. We are not stuck with the brain we’ve got today.”
Dr. Sarasin’s comments speak to an increasingly nuanced public understanding of mental health. As awareness continues to grow, conversations are also expanding to consider the many factors that can contribute to wellbeing, from emotional experience and trauma to physical health, biology, lifestyle and environment.
“The underlying cause of anxiety or depression can be emotional or trauma-related,” explained Dr. Sarasin. “However, it can also be linked to sugar metabolism, silent inflammation or a load of toxins. So, we look at the underlying causes of the symptoms and then personalise the treatment.”
At the Kusnacht Practice, care begins with the individual, and at the centre of the practice’s approach is BIO-R, its proprietary Biomolecular Restoration method, which uses advanced diagnostics and personalised protocols to identify underlying contributors to mental and physical health challenges.
A defining feature of Kusnacht Practice is its highly coordinated care model. Specialists work collaboratively around each client, combining medical expertise with long-term continuity and support.
“We become like a family office for health,” said Eduardo Greghi, CEO and Chairman of Kusnacht Practice. “We hold all the relationships.”
Privacy and discretion also remain central to the experience. Clients are treated in private luxury villas overlooking Lake Zürich, with programmes designed to preserve anonymity while maintaining a calm, restorative environment.
As conversations around mental health continue to evolve, the London event reflected a wider shift toward more integrated, human-centred approaches to wellbeing, where healing is understood as deeply personal, and care is designed accordingly.
