Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hypnosis Safe?

 

 

Hypnosis is a totally natural state, not synthetic medicine.  Also "side-effects" is usually a term associated with drug based therapy, such as pills and tablets. 

​

How long is a session
and how many?

Generally an individual session is about 60 minutes, it really depends on the individual.  Always best to allow 75 minutes for individual sessions.

​

Most hypnotherapy is thorough and done over 3 appointments, however in some cases it is possible to do double appointments, which does have a discount, but is really more for those that time may be an issue, or are travelling some distance etc.

​

What is important is that you see it through to completion, which is normally about 3-4 weeks.  

Some hypnotherapists offer a guarantee, do you?

The guarantees usually centre around that if you feel at the end of the appointment that the work was not professional, then the customer might decline to pay. 

​

I would imagine after 15 minutes you or the hypnotherapist would know if the work was "professional".

​

Remember hypnotherapy is a two party process, and hypnotherapists are as good as their customers.  HOWEVER I do offer a money-back guarantee if not satisfied service via multi-media hypnotherapy.  If interested, then complete the response form on the contact
option.

Is this similar to Stage Hypnosis? Do I "go under"?

Obviously this is not the same as a stage show. 

​

In stage shows you are seeing the top 10% of suitable people who agree to participate in the show. 

​

In ANY hypnosis you DO NOT go under, or lose control, these are only scare stories. 

​

If anything I would argue you GAIN more control. 

​

Generally hypnosis is a very deep relaxed state, and I would say is one of the most pleasant forms of therapy available.

​What are Scott Burke's success rates, and are there testimonials?

The short answer is that unless a hypnotherapist has independent verification of success rates, then it is very difficult to give details. 

​

Personally, and you are free to choose to accept this, I know from feedback the work is very successful BUT it is NOT my success...it is YOUR success. 

​

Remember, just like a driving instructor, we are working together to help you "pass".  I know I am confident in my work, the question is.."do you or do you not genuinely wish to achieve X?"

​

Also most testimonials I receive are very personal, but they are available for viewing at my Inverness Practice.  Some can also be seen here: http://www.yell.com/biz/scott-burke-hypnotherapy-and-n-l-p-inverness-3932202/

I have a question not covered here, what can I do?  Can I call you?

You can contact me via the contacts option on the website. 

​

Please understand that given that if I am working with clients most of the time I might not be available to speak directly to you, however I do have someone who knows my work to take my calls.
