Some Client Testimonials:
Stop Smoking Client:
I have been a lifelong smoker and have attempted to to stop many times over many years using every aid available from patches, to Champix and everything else in between with some short term success but always fighting those cravings and then failure, I had thought about Hypnotherapy months before I contacted Scott but expecting another failure I hesitated, then feeling it was the only thing I hadn’t tried I contacted Scott, my experience of Hypnotherapy with Scott was one of the best things I’ve ever done and due to Scott’s professionalism and support I am now a non-smoker for the first time in my adult life, if your considering Hypnotherapy don’t hesitate it has genuinely changed my life. Thank you Scott. (sic)
Social Anxiety
I attended sessions with Scott in November 2025. Found him very easy to talk to. The sessions were great and I felt at ease. Since completing and having the audios to listen to as often as I wish, my anxiety and worry about what others think of me has hugely improved.
Highly recommend. (sic)
Young Person's Study and Sleep Issues
We found Scott's sessions very helpful for treatment of sleep issues and help with concentration /motivation with studies for our teenager. The falling asleep and anxiety linked to it has practically vanished and studying seemed to have taken a turn at the end of the term - with self-initiated, independent revision and much higher test results across all sciences.
We took 3 sessions and 2 of them containted the hypnosis - which was a very new and interesting experience- and 'follow up' tracks that were sent later. Highly recommend Scott! (sic)
Cannabis
Went to see scott to help me stop smoking cannabis, and all i can say is im tottaly shocked after almost 40 years of smoking, 1 week later and i aint had no urge to amoke whatsoever, thank you very much scott,, highly recommended ****** (sic)
Anxiety
A 5 star service from and extremely knowledgeable professional who certainly knows his stuff and is a pleasure to work with! Would highly recommend! (sic)
Claustrophobia (MRI Scan)
I suffer from claustrophobia and went for hypnotherapy to see if it would help me as I had a MRI scan due and just the thought of it made me feel claustrophobic. I went for a 2 hour session with Scott Burke who quickly made me feel comfortable and after the session he sent me an email with a recording of the session. I played it every evening on the run up to my scan and I couldn’t believe how calm I felt when having my scan done. I managed no bother but in all honesty I know I would not even consider having it done without having had the hypnotherapy. I fully recommend to anyone struggling with claustrophobia to give this a try. It does work. Massive thanks to Scott Burke Inverness (sic)
Driving Lessons
I went to Scott to get help with my driving lessons as was anxious. Not only did he help me with that but he helped me with past personal trauma. This was a life changing experience that took place in just 3 sessions! He was thorough with his questions to cover all aspects that led to the best plan of action for my situation. Highly recommend.

Young Person Anxiety
We chose Scott for our daughter after reading his Wonderful reviews, he has helped our daughter massively with her anxiety , fast forward a year and it was my turn, I had made my mind up to stop smoking but felt I needed some added help, trust me when I say I've tried EVERYTHING!! I went to Scott with an opened mind and so glad I did, I went in with a full packet of cigarettes and I left with none !! I actually left them there !!:After just my first session I didn't feel like I needed them, fast forward a week and I returned for my final session, I am so delighted to say that during my first week of becoming a non smoker I've done it, and it's been a lot easier than I ever imagined to the point where today ( 19/11/23) I actually feel like I have never smoked !!! Thank you Scott for all your help and I will highly recommend Scott wherever I can. (sic)
Fear of Flying
My 16 year old daughter has experienced extreme fear of flying for over 5 years now. Her anxiety manifests anything up to a couple of weeks before any flights and can be extremely intense to the point she demands to be taken off the plane and has physical symptoms. She loves going on holiday but her fear of flying has taken any pleasure out of holidays for her, as she is consumed with with the travel fear.
As a family we wanted to try a non medicated approach to hopefully overcome or at least equip her with coping mechanisms. We had tried a few things at home with relaxation etc but to no avail. Hypnotherapy seemed like an area to explore.
Scott was fantastic from the outset and fully explained the whole process and theory of hypnotherapy. We had a very short timescale to complete the sessions and Scott managed to work with this to assist our daughter.
Scott's friendly lighthearted and extremely knowledgable approach really made everyone feel at ease. The sessions themselves were very relaxed prior and during the hypnotherapy sessions. Scott provided all extra recordings the same day, giving us the ultimate amount of time to do the work required.
We have just came back from a long haul holiday involving 5 flights in total. We have had no build up days of flying anxiety and our daughter is a completely different person on the flight and at the airport. She genuinely enjoyed the whole experience of flying. Watching movies, eating the food, taking videos etc.
For a young girl with many years of travel ahead this is truly amazing progress and for us as a family to know that she will enjoy the full experience of travel and not require medication etc is a massive weight of worry off our shoulders.
We cannot thank Scott enough for everything he has done to assist us in such a short time. We highly recommend Scott at any opportunity to anyone who may be considering Hypnotherapy. It really has been a fantastic experience with an amazing outcome. (sic)
