Scott Burke Hypnotherapist

Had been to Scott before for an alcohol control session, and having a few family issues felt like I needed a top up of my recording to keep me on track! Scott couldn't have been more helpful and provided me with same within hours. Very professional and friendly guy.

Scott was recommended to me by a friend that he helped with their golf. In my case, I used to truly suffer from crippling anxiety and panic attacks. I am an outgoing person, and many thought I was fine because I would simply disappear if I felt that I couldn't cope. At least with working within a family business my parents understood the other side of me, but it was getting beyond control. So I saw Scott for three sessions. He did mention that this was either the most common request he receives, or the fastest growing request, I forget which, and it was the case that many felt the way I did, but really could not pinpoint why. I don't want to say too much how Scott helped me because some things I prefer to keep private. However I found his nature to be very friendly and understanding. He genuinely cares, that is certainly true. As for the whole experience, it is difficult to put into words. It is very thorough, and the hypnosis itself takes you to a level of relaxation that is truly bliss, and I used to struggle being able to switch off. So, it does work! I really did not want to start popping pills, and I do feel a sense of pride in myself. I feel so much better now, and I cannot recommend Scott enough.Moreexpand_more

A friend of mine recommended I see Scott to see if he could help me with my absolute fear of flying. To be honest, I did not think this would work, my friend went to see Scott to stop smoking, and even though I was amazed to see how well she did, I really thought I was a hopeless case. I have flown many times in the past, but 5 years ago I suddenly developed severe anxiety about flying and the thought of flying filled me with absolute terror. I felt physically sick, and no amount of pills were going to help, and I did not want to use alcohol either, and that would not have worked either. Scott did explain that many of his customers (or is it clients? ) have also flown before, and my anxiety was not unique. I think he mentioned it was either the most commonest phobia he works with, or one of the most commonest. For me, I knew I had to fly to St Lucia for my nieces wedding. I knew I had to as the tickets had been bought and I was flying from Heathrow. With about 8 weeks to go I was already a nervous wreck, hence why my friend recommended I see Scott. It is difficult to put into words the difference he has made. There is absolutely NO WAY I would have gotten onto that plane without his help, I would have pretended to be sick or whatever to get out of it. I also felt so proud being on the plane. Don't get me wrong, in the departure lounge there was a wee bit of residue concern, but once on the plane, I just felt "normal". I actually enjoyed the flight, and there were no problems. Coming back was even better because I knew I would be OK. What is surprising is how NORMAL I felt. It was quite staggering for me. So for anyone with a fear of flying, seriously, seriously go and see Scott. He really does put you at ease and he certainly is not pretentious. Great guy to talk to as well. So thank you Scott, and thank you Denise for recommending him.Moreexpand_more

Scott was recommended to me by a fellow golfer friend who he helped with his short game. I knew the problems he was having, and could see how much more "fluid" and confident he was on the green. My problem was a bit bigger than that. Really was not enjoying my golf and was getting too worked up. I just wanted to enjoy golf, not win tournaments, but if I did, then great. Scott's golf psychology philosophies really do work. I can tell you the words fluid movement were just a tiny part of what we worked on. He does make a big point that his work is tailored made, and I now know what the "GT Scale" is! It is an interesting philosophy he uses with a lot of sports people apparently, and I have also discovered that he was worked with many internationalists and local football players, but he would not tell me who they are!But seriously, this has done wonders for me. Golf is a psychological game, and if you are not enjoying your game, then do contact Scott, you can only improve.Moreexpand_more

If for any reason you're thinking of trying hypnotherapy to help you, I would ask you to consider Scott Burke; he's so professional and immediately puts you at ease. He treats you with respect and at no time does he put pressure on you to stay or to return for further sessions. He gives you homework to do, ie, recordings to listen to at home, preferably last thing at night when you're most relaxed; you'll find these so relaxing that you'll look forward to listening to them. I hope you benefit from them like I have. Definitely value for money.

I was in a bad way when I first went to see Scott. I couldn't go out on my own, I couldn't bear being in my own house alone, and, worst of all, I had to postpone university for a year because it was just too much for me to deal with. I was having panic attacks and terrible anxiety more than just a few times every day. Even just after the first meeting with Scott, my panic and anxiety decreased. Then the same happened with the second and third meetings. Now, a month later, I haven't had a single panic attack, and I still can't quite believe it. In such a short time, I went from being unable to be alone in my own home to being able to do things I thought I wouldn't be able to do again. I have travelled three hours by bus to Glasgow alone, I have travelled nine hours by train to London alone, I no longer feel dependent on anxiety medication, and I have been going to job interviews with absolutely no nerves and only confidence. I'm even planning a trip to Bristol to see friends, via plane by myself - and I hate planes! I can't thank Scott enough, and it is down to him that I am going to be able to go to university this year and do everything that I had always planned to do. After a terrible 2012, I have really high hopes for 2013.Moreexpand_more
