I’m feeling really grateful today 💛

A big thank you to the team at Northampton Chronicle for sharing my piece for International Day of Happiness.

It means a lot to be able to spread a simple message, that even one minute to pause and breathe can make a difference to how we feel.

If this helps even one person feel calmer today, then it’s all been worth it.

Thank you for the support ✨

A hypnotherapist working in Long Buckby and Market Harborough is encouraging people across Northamptonshire to pause for just one minute on International Day of Happiness (20 March) and try a simple “60-Second Stress Reset” designed to calm the mind and reduce everyday stress.

Ahead of the International Day of Happiness next Friday (20th March), I’m incredibly grateful to see a press release published in The Harborough Mail about my work as a hypnotherapist.

My journey hasn’t been a straight line.

I grew up in Northern Ireland surrounded by the countryside and the wild beauty of the North West coast. Life later took me into aviation, the NHS, and health and safety. Those roles taught me a lot about people, pressure, and how stress can affect our wellbeing.

Living with dyslexia also brought its own challenges. For many years there was a quiet belief in the background of my mind saying “I’m not good enough.”

But something powerful happened when I discovered hypnotherapy.

That belief changed to: “I am good enough.”

That shift didn’t just change my mindset it changed the direction of my life.

Today I have the privilege of helping people manage stress, anxiety, and workplace pressures so they can regain calm, clarity, and confidence.

Sometimes happiness isn’t about big moments. Sometimes it simply begins with feeling calmer inside your own mind.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supports my journey and trusts me with theirs.

Harborough hypnotherapist shares one-minute stress reset for International Day of Happiness

✨ Welcome to Lafferty Hypnotherapy ✨
Hello and welcome. I’m Frances B Lafferty, a registered hypnotherapist specialising in stress, anxiety, confidence, and workplace wellbeing.
My journey into hypnotherapy is a personal one.
Living with dyslexia, there were times in my life when self-belief felt difficult. But when I experienced hypnotherapy for myself, something shifted within me. It helped me realise how powerful the mind can be when we learn how to work with it rather than against it.
That experience inspired me to train as a hypnotherapist so I could help others create positive change in their own lives.
Originally from Derry in Northern Ireland, I have always found calm and grounding in nature, particularly along the beautiful coastline of the North West. This sense of calm is something I bring into the work I do with clients.
As a mum, I also understand the real pressures of balancing work, family life, and everything in between.
I now work with people who feel:
• Stressed or overwhelmed
• Struggling with anxiety or overthinking
• Lacking confidence or self-belief
• Stuck in habits they want to change
• Under pressure at work or in life
Through hypnotherapy and practical mindset techniques, I help people regain calm, clarity, and confidence so they can move forward feeling more in control.
My philosophy is simple:
✨ Never stop believing that change is possible.

You were never “too much.”
You were powerful before you believed it.

Sometimes the most powerful change a person can make
is changing the story they tell themselves.

Happy International Women’s Day.

This morning started with an 8am gym session and finished with me completing parkrun at Daventry 🏃‍♀️

When Anabela asked who would go and do parkrun, I was the first one to say “Yes, I’ll go.” Sometimes you just have to commit before your mind has time to talk you out of it.

Thank you to Anabela and the Fitter Body Ladies for the encouragement.

It’s a great reminder that small actions movement, fresh air, and supportive people can make a big difference to our wellbeing.

Sometimes the biggest step is simply saying yes. 🙌
😊

Hypnosis! So You Think You Can’t Be Hypnotised?

I hear this all the time.

“I don’t think I can be hypnotised.”
“I’m too strong minded.”
“My brain never switches off.”

Here’s the truth…
Hypnosis isn’t about switching off.
It’s about focused attention.

If you can get absorbed in a book…
If you can drive somewhere and not remember part of the journey…
If you can daydream…

You can experience hypnosis.

You stay in control.
You can hear me.
You can speak.
You can stop at any time.

Hypnosis simply helps you work with your mind instead of fighting against it.

If you’ve been hesitating because you think it “won’t work on you” — let’s talk.

✨ A little honest reflection from today’s FREE 60-Second Reset Lab ✨
Firstly, thank you to the three lovely people who joined me live today 💙
We did have a few tech gremlins my PowerPoint decided it only wanted to show 4 slides out of 14! But we adapted, stayed calm, and carried on.
And actually… that felt quite fitting for a session about stress.
Because real life isn’t polished.
Sometimes things don’t go to plan.
And the reset isn’t about perfection it’s about how we respond.
It was also very different presenting online compared to face-to-face. There’s a different energy when you can’t see the room in the same way. But it’s all learning, and growth always stretches us a little.
I’m proud that I showed up.
I’m grateful for those who joined.
And I’ll absolutely be running it again with slightly friendlier tech next time 😊
Thank you for the support as always.
Frances 💙
