# Shirley Lafond — Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist

> A calm, therapeutically informed space for women who want to move from overwhelm to self-trust. Led by qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist Shirley Lafond.

Shirley Lafond offers a six-week small-group programme and one-to-one therapeutic support for women carrying too much, who are ready to reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous system, and set boundaries with confidence. The work is gentle, grounded, and rooted in emotional safety — not advice, fixing, or rescue.
