Life Goals, Values & Empowering
Whilst my services are available to all, I do have a particular passion for helping young people, and the 50+, to navigate through the increasingly challenging environments they find themselves within.
I believe in empowerment, and that both individuals and businesses have the same rights to flourish.
We are deeply committed to your wellbeing, and dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.
Our goal is to empower you to overcome challenges, develop resilience, and experience more of the life you want.
While working with best practice within hypnotherapy and coaching, we take a symbiotic approach to goal setting; melding it with emotional and psychological wellbeing, to gain the most effective and long lasting outcomes.
When you are ready for things to change, why not give us a call, to see what we can do to help you get to where you want to be.
How can Hypnotherapy
& Coaching Help?
Clinical Hypnotherapy
We all have areas in our lives where we strive for improvement, whether it’s in our personal lives, careers, or our sports performance. Hypnotherapy and Coaching can help in all realms of your life.
Hypnotherapy is centuries old.
It gives you an incredibly effective way of accessing the part of yourself that influences, and is responsible for, unconscious thought patterns, habits and behaviours – the unconscious mind.
Hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind. Because this is often where problems form, and where long-term solutions lie, it can quickly lead you to better outcomes.
Many misconceptions surround hypnosis. Daydreaming, being totally absorbed in an activity, or being on ‘automatic pilot’ are all natural forms of light trance state.
Coaching
Coaching helps clarify intentions, and makes you accountable. It keeps you on track, ensuring that you reach your goals in the shortest possible time frame.
What to Expect
When you see a hypnotherapist, a case history will be taken. This is a very important part of the session. It is the fundamental cornerstone to the most successful outcomes.
There are many routes a hypnotherapy session can take. Your case history, and current state of mind, will help your practitioner decide on the best approach for you.
Sessions are usually “content free” which means you do not need to say anything while under hypnosis. You will not reveal anything you do not want to while under hypnosis.
Anything you say to a hypnotherapist is strictly confidential.
No-one can force you into an hypnotic state. You and your unconscious mind are always in control, so in essence you allow yourself to enter the state.
It is possible to bring yourself out of the state at any point, but usually, the hypnotherapist will formally awaken you.
This is one of the reasons hypnotherapy can also be conducted safely and effectively online, as well as in-person.
In most cases, issues can be resolved within 2-3 sessions, but there are exceptions. Some may require just one session, while others may need several more to achieve the desired outcome.
At the end of your session, you will be taught how to self-empower with hypnotherapy, to enable your own ongoing, self-facilitated successes.
Coaching is delivered either as ad-hoc, one-off sessions, or grouped into packages of sessions. The focus and number of sessions is mutually agreed with you.
One Session
Some issues can be resolved in just one session. Stopping Smoking/ Vaping and stopping a specific habit are two examples.
Stop Smoking & Vaping sessions last approximately one and a half to two hours.
Weight Control sessions (for a specific habit resolution) last approximately one and a half to two hours.
There are many other issues that can be resolved in one session. Your consultation will clarify if that is a possibility.

About Life Mechanics
Life Mechanics is something of a philosophy. Rather than seeing parts of one’s life as separate, many parts are actually connected; The mind to the body for instance, the personal to the professional, and business to the relationships that facilitate business.
Life Mechanics was founded on the principle that life has many twists and turns, some expected and some very unexpected. These machinations occur in all aspects of our lives, both in business and in personal settings.
Issues, rarely occur in isolation, and often one environment impacts another. They may need to be managed concurrently.
Sometimes when these things are compounded, or the circumstances feel as if they are not being managed in a way that ensures the best outcome, changes often need to be made, to get things back on track, to improve a situation that is no longer working, or to achieve a specific goal.
This is where Life Mechanics comes in. We aim to offer incisive assistance in some of those key areas.
Tony has the skills to help businesses in this regard, and Yvonne has the skills to help individuals in a similar way.
As founders of Life Mechanics, we are both passionate about our areas of expertise, and getting expedient outcomes for our clients.
We are both critical thinkers with a problem solving nature. Getting to the bottom of the underlying issues, and helping to move forward from them, is at the heart of what we do. This ensures our clients can get from where they are now, to where they want to be in the shortest amount of time, whether that is for a business or for an individual.
Our approach is all about creativity, collaboration, and customization. Together, we’ll assess your needs and determine what combination of our skills is the best way forward for you.
In a wider context, Life Mechanics believes in enhancing any part of your life, through a ‘community of skills’.
We offer a free consultation to determine if what we can deliver for you resonates with your needs.
Why not get in touch, to find out what we can do for you or your business.
