I work with people whose lives may look successful but who feel stuck or frustrated. I help to protect what matters when the stakes are high.

"Spreadsheets in the bedsheets" - is how Allison Ellsworth describes building a company with her husband.

Money, love and leadership often collide and things get complicated. We will detangle personal and professional life so you can protect both. Our work will cover personal and business/work, to whatever extent you need it to.

You may be a couple or family business, a solo business owner or a leader in your work who wants guidance to feel more aligned and more fulfilled in life generally.

I'm a registered life and business coach, an accredited psychotherapist, a registered mediator and have over ten years experience running my business. My work is holistic, systemic and relational.

You've clearly done something right. Now, how can we protect it and give you back some peace and calm?

TESTIMONIals

"My sessions with Lily were very insightful and helpful.  It's increased my confidence in myself and my work. I now understand my business model, ethos and branding in a deeper aspect.  Lily is a pleasure to work with.  She is patient, supportive and her passion to help others certainly shines through her work.  Her dedication to her role, knowledge and experience is inspiring.  I would 100% recommend!"

"Working with Lily for the past year has been incredibly insightful. Her kind and gentle approach has significantly aided me in understanding how I interact with others and how I operate overall. Lily's ability to listen and recall important information is truly impressive. She often reminds me of things I've mentioned in previous sessions, which become key to making new connections and realisations.  In less than a year, I have become much more aware of the behaviours I exhibit and how to adjust them to foster healthier relationships with others."

"Since coaching, the biggest measurable results have been increased clarity and confidence.   Rather than trying to copy what everyone else is doing, I now feel confident building a business that reflects my values, suits the way I work, and genuinely serves the community I want to support. I now have a strong understanding of the direction to take my business. If you're unsure about working with Lily, I honestly don't think you need to be."

Commonly Asked Questions

Why couples and families in business?

Family businesses often struggle not because of the business operation. In fact family-owned businesses tend to be more sustainable and more profitable than businesses that are not family owned. Instead they struggle because relationships and communication break down around them. These relationship tensions can happen for a huge number of reasons, many of which are not present in non-family businesses or with couples and families that do not work together.

Couples and families who run businesses are underserved and few professionals are trained or feel able to work with the whole family business system and the dynamics at play.

Motivated by my personal experience as a teenager in a family business, I've added my professional training as a psychotherapist, business coach and mediator with my own business experience to be uniquely specialised and qualified to help couples and families in business.

What areas and challenges do you help with?

It's a range.

I have worked with clients to help with a misalignment or tension between home life and work/business life. I also have experience helping my clients find new ways of managing succession, governance, and conflict tensions too.

The majority of my clients feel that money has complicated their life. Many want to explore what it means for them to be happy.
