My goal is to help you create relationships full of genuine connection and authenticity, with yourself and with the world.
TRANSFORM
My name is Lily Manné.
I work as a psychotherapist and relationship coach with individuals, couples, and expats, online, across time zones, wherever you are. We work with what's actually happening inside you: the interpretations that form before you have a chance to think, and the coping mechanisms your younger self built that have become your modus operandi. Most of them made sense when they were created but many of them no longer serve you. Our sessions work like a laboratory: we slow down, observe what's driving you, and build a hypothesis together. Then you go home and experiment. The goal is to become an active participant in your own experience, someone who can see the pattern, interrupt it, and try something new.
I work with couples who are stuck in cycles they can't seem to break, who have lost the connection they once had, or who keep having the same fight without knowing why. I also work with mothers navigating the particular complexity of being a caretaker while staying connected to their own desires, needs, and identity. And I work with expats and multicultural families managing the weight of living between cultures, raising third-culture kids, and building a life that doesn't fit neatly into anyone else's template.

I BELIEVE
The work moves in layers. We start by understanding what you actually want and what's getting in the way. From there we build awareness around the thoughts, assumptions, and patterns that have been shaping your experience, often without your knowing it. And then we move: into new behavior, new experiments, new ways of being with yourself and the people around you.
My transformational approach is a process where awareness, alignment, and action work together as catalysts to create momentum for change. Awareness is knowing what you genuinely want and need. Alignment is the symmetry between our values and our actions. It means our inner and outer worlds match. Action is when you are conscious what you say, do and think are in harmony with your values.
What Makes Life Consulting Different?
CATALYST FOR GROWTH
We will use tools from my psychology background to help you observe and uncover the hidden parts of yourself. We will also dive into the best of emotion and relationship coaching to find the answers you possess about yourself. Real movement can happen from the very first session. What takes time is making it last.
I offer a free half hour consultation to establish what your expectations and goals for our work together are. We will use this time to feel each other out and determine if we are a good fit.
