About Jilly — ICF-ACC Certified Life Coach
About Jilly
ICF-ACC Certified Life Coach in Melbourne
Founder of Lifecoachjilly.com
Let’s start here: this isn’t about me.
It’s about you — and the quiet (or loud) sense that something in your life is ready to change.
If you’re here, you might be at a crossroads.
A career shift. A creative pivot. A reinvention.
Or maybe nothing looks “wrong” on paper — but you know you’re meant for more.
As a certified Life Coach in Melbourne, I help people navigate these turning points with clarity, courage and practical momentum.
I’ve Lived the Reinvention
I’m an ICF-ACC credentialed coach (Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation) and trained by Martha Beck — which means I’ve completed rigorous training, adhere to global ethical standards, and have coached hundreds of real client hours.
But credentials aren’t what make me effective.
Experience is.
Years ago, I left Melbourne, travelled the world for three years, and completely redesigned my life and career. Not because I was miserable. Not because I was chasing money.
Because I wanted freedom.
Freedom to choose growth.
Freedom to back myself.
Freedom to build a life aligned with who I actually am.
Now I help my clients do the same — strategically, sustainably, and without burning everything down impulsively.
You Don’t Have to Be Miserable to Want More
Most of my clients aren’t in crisis.
They’re capable. Creative. Thoughtful. Often successful on paper.
But they feel:
Restless
Under-challenged
Disconnected from purpose
Or quietly aware they’ve outgrown their current identity
That’s where life coaching becomes powerful.
Not as motivation.
Not as hustle culture.
But as intelligent, structured reinvention.
Life Coaching for Creatives & Visionaries in Melbourne
While I work with professionals across many industries, I have a particular love for people in the creative industries — including:
Performing arts
Music
Literature & writing
Film & creative production
Independent business owners and founders
Creative people are natural givers. You produce, perform, build, write, compose, direct, inspire.
But without strong personal systems, that generosity becomes depletion.
I don’t just help you “earn more” or “get productive.”
I help you:
Build frameworks that protect your energy
Design personal systems that prioritise you first
Create sustainable impact in your industry
Separate your self-worth from your output
Make bold career moves without self-sabotage
Impact is powerful.
But sustainable impact is transformational.
What Working With Me Looks Like
As your life coach in Melbourne, I help you:
Clarify your next chapter
Make confident career or identity shifts
Break patterns of overgiving or overthinking
Stop living by other people’s expectations
Build a life structured around your values, not external validation
This isn’t surface-level goal setting.
This is identity-level change.
If you want to bring me a huge challenge — a reinvention, a creative leap, a life overhaul with purpose — I’m here for it.
Why Coaching Works
Because change is inevitable.
The question is whether you drift through it —
or learn how to lead yourself through it.
My work is about helping you become someone who knows how to recalibrate, realign and reinvent — again and again — without losing yourself in the process.

FAQs
What is a certified life coach?
A certified life coach is trained to help you clarify your goals, break through internal or external blocks, and create a life aligned with your values. I’m ICF-ACC certified, which means I’ve met global standards in professional coaching.
What does ICF-ACC mean?
ICF-ACC stands for Associate Certified Coach, awarded by the International Coaching Federation. It reflects professional training, ethical standards, exams passed, recordings examined and 100’s of hours of real coaching experience. Most importantly, it means I am trained to keep you safe during the process.
Do I need to be in crisis to hire a coach?
Not at all. Many of my clients are doing "fine" on paper—but they feel something is missing, or they’re ready to evolve into a more authentic, fulfilled version of themselves.
Do you coach clients outside of Australia?
Yes! I coach clients all over the world via Zoom. Whether you're in Sydney, London, LA, or anywhere in between—if you’ve got Wi-Fi, we can work together.
Do you work with creative artists and talent managers?
Yes. I work with creative artists at all stages of their careers, as well as talent managers who want to support their artists’ wellbeing, performance, and long-term sustainability.
I help artists navigate change, touring pressure, creative risk, identity shifts, and limiting beliefs — while maintaining alignment, boundaries, and momentum. My work creates a neutral, confidential space that complements existing management and label relationships rather than replacing them.
For talent managers, I act as a trusted support layer: reducing burnout, supporting creative evolution, and helping artists stay focused, grounded, and reliable over the long term. I offer discretion, confidentiality, and flexible scheduling that respects the realities of touring, media cycles, and high-performance creative work.

Your personal and professional development starts right now.
No matter where you start—relationships, career, or catalysts for change—you’ll see your life transform as you refine, edit, and design a life that’s authentically yours. The coaching pre-work prompts you to reflect on what you’d like to get out of coaching, and depending on the package, we’ll focus on a few key areas.
The magic is in the ripple effect: improve your confidence to ask for what you want at work, and you’ll find it builds the courage to ask for what you need at home. It doesn’t matter where you start — it matters that you start.
The magic lies in the ripple effect: building confidence and professional development at work helps you assert your needs at home. You’d be beyond amazed if you knew how much just one even one coaching session could do you for personal and professional growth.
