For you, if you're established but stuck

You may be a psychotherapist, coach, mentor or teacher.

You're excellent at helping people. You've set up a business.

Now let's turn it into what you actually want.

You work hard. You care about people. You've set up a practice and you're good at what you do. But fulfilment or income has plateaued. It's not because you're overwhelmed or confused, it's because nobody ever properly taught you the business side of this unique kind of work. You're ready for more: more fulfilment, more income or maybe even growing beyond yourself, without losing the way you want to practice and what feels right for your clients.

I help you, because I am you. As a psychotherapist, coach and mediator, I understand the struggle of searching for business support from someone who knows your clients, your industry and who won't ask you to compromise your values.

TESTIMONIALS

Abbie Marillat

Provides support for adults who care and look after others.

"Since the coaching day, the biggest measurable results have been increased clarity and confidence. I now have a clear pricing structure, more defined service offering and a strong understanding of the direction to take my business. 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. If you're unsure about working with Lily, I honestly don't think you need to be."

Natasha Gill

Provides support to woman aged 25 to 35 from South Asian communities.

"My sessions with Lily were very insightful and helpful. It's increased my confidence in myself and my private practice. I now understand my business model, ethos and branding in a deeper aspect. This has given me clarity on how I need to position the business. 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!"

Samantha McEwan

Provides support to adults to overcome trauma and difficult childhoods.

"It was a pleasure to spend time with Lily to review my business. Lily is approachable, supportive and curious and I felt she really 'got' what drives me. I benefitted from Lily's questions that helped me review and clarify my 'Why' and how I both stick to, and communicate, this; and also to refine and streamline some of my processes -both internally in my business and for client facing elements. I would recommend Lily to other business owners who would like to apply some business self-care to check it's alignment with their values, work /life balance, and to streamline processes."

Marina Minas

Provides support through abuse with resilience training and workshops.

"Lily helped me with marketing and my services. The most valuable part was messaging. It was eye opening how much can be done for marketing with correct posts and directions for those posts. Lily explained everything very clear. I feel much more confident now that I will be able to develop my life coaching business. I was lost an stagnating, now I have enthusiasm to start the process."

Chris Boobier

Provides support to high achieving adults with difficult childhoods.

"I have a plan of what to do which has always been my biggest struggle. I have tons of ideas, possibly too many but now have a plan of how to get to the next stage. Lily is a good investment for specific business guidance from someone who knows our industry."

I'm proud to be a business coach who has real life experience of business! Alongside coaching helping professionals like you with Excellent Helper, I founded The Extended Family Company® where I support couples who are life partners and business partners with their relationships and communication.

I've been in business for ten years and have achieved a lot, but - I've also made every mistake possible. My main aim in Third Desk is for other therapists, coaches, mentors and teachers to provide an excellent service and be fairly paid doing it.

My philosophy in business is we need to focus solely on our clients' best interests and prioritise offering an excellent service. This is what you do very well. But these skills must be coupled with knowledge and action in business. I believe business should be sustainable, meaningful and profitable.

My approach is lean and straightforward. I help my clients answer 14 simple - but not easy - questions...
