My Story
Frances' journey into hypnotherapy is both professional and personal.
Originally from Ireland, her career began in aviation before moving into public sector roles and health and safety. Through her own life experiences - including using hypnobirthing techniques during the birth of her son - she experienced first-hand the powerful impact of working with the mind.
Her curiosity led her to train further in hypnotherapy and ultimately build a practice centred on helping people feel calmer, more confident and more in control.
"I'm not good enough" became "I am good enough."
That shift in self-belief now underpins her work: helping others create meaningful and lasting change in their own lives.
Frances has also presented at the UK Hypnosis Convention, contributing to the wider hypnotherapy community.
