About Lilly
If you’ve ever wondered why knowing better doesn’t mean doing better, I’ve wondered that too.
For most of my twenties, I had a career most people would call a dream. International modelling. Travel. Success by every visible measure.
But I was also quietly struggling. Not in a way anyone could see, but in the way so many high-functioning women struggle: self-worth that felt conditional, confidence that depended on outside approval, and a persistent sense of never being enough.
I understood my patterns. I could explain exactly where they came from. But understanding them didn’t change them. What finally shifted things for me was working at a deeper, unconscious level, including through hypnotherapy. That’s my own experience, and it’s a big part of why I work the way I do.
That experience didn’t break me. It gave me direction.
So I started studying psychology alongside my modelling career, and I’ve spent the years since learning how the conscious and unconscious mind, the nervous system and our habits shape the way we live.
My approach: beyond insight
In our work together, insight is the starting point. We explore what sits underneath: unconscious beliefs, nervous system responses and automatic habits. Then we pair that understanding with practical tools, and deeper approaches like hypnotherapy where they suit you, so the change reaches your everyday life.
I work collaboratively. My job isn’t to tell you who to be. It’s to help you trust yourself enough to work that out.
And it doesn’t have to feel heavy. I’m warm, I’m real, and I laugh a lot with my clients.
Training & Experience
I hold a Master of Professional Psychology and am a hypnotherapist, practising since 2020. I began my psychology studies at King’s College London and completed them in Australia. I’ve worked in private practice, the NSW Health Eating Disorders Service and equine-assisted psychotherapy, and I currently work at The Health Lodge, an integrative clinic in Byron Bay, and Byron Bay Equine Therapy. I draw on CBT- and ACT-informed approaches, hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based strategies, and I’m also trained in Family-Based Therapy (FBT).
In my private practice, I see women aged 18 and over, via telehealth, across Australia. I’m originally from Germany, and I offer sessions in English and German.
