Get unstuck, refocused, and back on track—one step at a time.
Life Coach Melbourne
Becoming Lino
Most people know me today as Lino — a life coach who helps ambitious professionals and business owners get unstuck, reclaim and protect their energy, and finally move toward the life they know they're capable of.
But for 28 years, I lived as Paul — an accountant and business advisor inside fast-paced firms where pressure was constant and burnout was normal.
That version of me was successful on paper… but disconnected on the inside. I was operating on autopilot, driving through life with the “park brake” on, and feeling like life was happening to me instead of being lived by me.
If that sounds familiar, you’re exactly who I work with now.
As your coach, I’m here to help you:
• identify and remove what's holding you back,
• reclaim and protect your energy
• and create simple steps that get your momentum flowing again.

How I Help
You’re driven, but it feels like you’re driving with the park brake on. You might be working long hours, juggling responsibilities, and still feeling behind. Your head is busy, your sleep isn’t great, and you’ve got a growing list of “I need to…” that never quite happens.
I tailor the coaching to what you need — choosing tools from my toolkit to help you protect your energy, break unhelpful habits, set small achievable goals and stay accountable. We try what works, adjust what doesn’t, and build momentum through simple wins that stack over time.
A clearer mind, positive energy and simple habits that actually stick. You’ll build confidence through small wins, gain real momentum, and start showing up as a more focused, aligned and capable version of yourself.
You may look successful on paper but feel uncertain about what comes next. Your role might no longer fit who you’ve become, and while you sense a change is needed, you’re unsure where to start or which direction feels right.
We slow things down and create space to think clearly. Together, we explore what matters to you now, break big questions into small steps, and build confidence through realistic, steady progress that fits your life.
Clarity about your direction, confidence in your decisions, and a practical plan you can follow. You’ll stop second-guessing and start moving forward with intention.
You may feel disconnected or like you’re going through the motions without much fulfilment. Life is busy, but something feels missing, and old habits or low energy are stopping you from moving forward.
We focus on strengthening your foundation — your habits, routines, mindset and energy. I help you try small, practical changes that fit your life and build consistency over time.
Stronger daily habits, greater self-awareness, and a renewed sense of purpose. You’ll feel more grounded, focused, and in control of how you show up each day.
Become Your Best Self
One small step is all it takes to start changing your life.
FAQs
If you’re curious about life coaching, these FAQs explain how I work and what you can expect from the process.
I work with ambitious, motivated people who want more from life but feel stuck, burnt out or off track. Many of my clients are professionals or business owners who are doing “well” on the outside but know something needs to change on the inside.
No — this is coaching, not therapy or counselling. Therapy often focuses on healing past experiences, while my work is about helping you move forward. As a life coach, I focus on where you are now, what’s holding you back, and how to create practical change through mindset, habits and daily actions. If therapy is what you need, I’ll always be honest and point you in the right direction.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. I don’t prescribe the same solution to everyone. Instead, I work out what you are facing and draw from a toolkit of strategies — mindset shifts, habit changes, energy management and simple routines. If one approach doesn’t work, we try another. The focus is on small, realistic steps that fit your life and build momentum over time.
Many people start feeling clearer and more focused within the first few sessions. Lasting change doesn’t come from big breakthroughs — it comes from small wins that stack over time. As those habits and shifts compound, confidence grows, energy improves, and you start showing up differently in your day-to-day life.
It starts with a conversation. We’ll talk about where you are, what you’re struggling with, and what you want to change. From there, we decide whether working together feels like the right fit and what the next step looks like. Simple, honest, and pressure-free.
