Hello, I'm

    Steve Burgess

    My career as a Hypnotherapist has been a long and exciting one, with many highlights along the way (including doing therapy with fellow trekkers along the Great Wall of China and the Inca Trail in Peru and presenting a paper on past life regression at a conference of Native American health-workers on the Navajo reservation in Arizona).

    I’ve been in private practice for over 30 years and have completed over 15,000 therapy sessions. In the last few years, since switching to doing online therapy sessions, I’ve worked with clients in 24 countries around the world. And yes, before you ask, online sessions work just as well as face-to-face ones! I am an advanced EFT practitioner and a certified N.L.P. (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) practitioner. I have also had specialist training in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a condition which responds very favourably to hypnotherapy.

    1992
    After initial training in 1992 with the Institute of Curative Hypnotherapists and also with my mentor Wilf Proudfoot at the Proudfoot School of Hypnosis, I had great success helping people to stop smoking by using hypnotherapy and soon I was working with a wide range of client issues. My work has been featured regularly in the media, including TV, radio, on the internet and in many publications.
    1992
    Late 90's
    In the late 1990’s I was part of a team of therapists who were responsible for establishing EFT in the UK.
    Late 90's
    2003/2004
    Subsequently in 2003 I was invited, along with a small group of experienced therapists from around the world, to work for a week with Gary Craig (the creator of EFT, which is often simply called ‘Tapping’) at his home in San Francisco helping him to develop an advanced way of working with EFT. These experiential training sessions subsequently became his technique of ‘Borrowing Benefits’ in which a group of people can experience an improvement in their issues whilst one person is being tapped on. In 2004 I was given Master Hypnotist status by the UK Guild of Hypnotist Examiners.
    2003/2004
    2009
    In 2009 I was invited to Norway to run training courses for the Norwegian Hypnosis Academy, helping to develop hypnotherapy in Norway as at that time it was still relatively unknown there. Over the next decade I ran training courses in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger and Roros, as well as setting up my own Lionheart Training hypnotherapy school there.
    2009
    Present
    I have been a guest trainer for many therapy organisations in the UK and Norway. I have presented papers to the Annual Conferences of the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the UK Guild of Hypnotist Examiners (of which I am a former Vice-Chairman). In 2022 I presented a paper on past life regression to a complementary health conference in Kolobrzeg in Poland. I am also an experienced speaker to groups on the subjects of Hypnosis and Past Life Regression.

    Professional safety

    Over the years I have undertaken hundreds of hours of Continual Professional Development training in specialised aspects of therapy. I have also trained with some of the leading personalities in the therapy world, including Ernest Rossi, Gary Craig (the creator of EFT) and Steve Andreas (one of the co-creators of NLP). I am a member of the 2 largest hypnotherapy professional bodies in the UK: The General Hypnotherapy Register (which accredits me as a Senior Qualified Hypnotherapy Practitioner) and the National Council for Hypnotherapy. I was awarded the title of Master Hypnotist by the UK Guild of Hypnotist Examiners in 2004.

    I have a DBS certificate and as part of my Safeguarding protocol have undertaken specialised training in Equality and Diversity. I have full professional indemnity insurance. As part of my professional ethics I guarantee total confidentiality to all of my clients.

    How Do I Relax?

    I have a busy and intensive schedule but I am a great believer in work/life balance and I take time to do things that keep me balanced and emotionally and physically healthy. I weight train at the gym several times a week; I love being in nature and feeling the healing power of Mother Earth.

    My passion is listening to classical music and I spend as much time as possible playing classical guitar (which is my somewhat guilty obsession!).

    I also think that all therapists should have therapy as we need to be as balanced as we can be, to hold the space for our clients, so I have regular therapy sessions to ensure my own emotional wellbeing.
