About me

I am Michaela Burton, a vestibular audiologist, clinical hypnotherapist and mind coach.

Based in Leicester since 2000 I have had the benefit of working with Prof. Peter Rea and Mr. Anil Banerjee, world renown consultants in balance assessment and treatment, for many years.

I have always found it very important to be a calm and approachable listener whilst helping people find what is right for them and assisting them achieve their aims in a way that provides the most benefit.

My experience in treating people with imbalance led me obtaining my MSc degree in Audiology rehabilitation with specific interest in the effects of anxiety in imbalance in 2011 from Aston University. Further to this I studied and gained the Diploma in hypnotherapy and mind coaching in Nottingham and more recently trainer as an NLP practitioner and coach.

I am proud to be helping people with both the physical rehabilitation of their balance system and in improving their mental well being, whether this is directly associated with imbalance or from other factors or circumstances.

Testimonials

"I saw Michaela for hypnotherapy on 2 occasions relating to an attack of vertigo. I was both amazed and delighted at how successful my treatment proved to be. Both treatments were relaxing, pleasant and really beneficial. Despite being anxious I was reassured throughout. In conjunction with the eye physiotherapy the treatment was successful. I cannot recommend Michaela highly enough - a dedicated professional with exactly the right empathetic approach" - V.B

Do it Differently

Approximately 30% of people aged 17-65 visit their GP experiencing symptoms of dizziness each year. That means even if you do not have balance issues you probably know someone that does! Sadly it is often poorly understood, overlooked and not fully treated. The good news is that there is plenty that can be done to help improve and resolve these feelings of dizziness and imbalance.

With 20 years experience in helping people with variety of vestibular issues including BPPV and Vestibular imbalance with customised vestibular rehabilitation I know how difficult balance issues make everyday life and can help treat not only the physical imbalance but also address the impact it has on emotional well being.

Anxiety and stress are often overlooked factors influencing the many aspects of our life, especially so when we have a health issue such as imbalance. I provide a friendly, relaxed and reassuring environment in which to explore and discover the issues causing difficulties experienced and assist with dealing with them in the best way for you.

Many issues we experience can be aided or alleviated with the help of hypnotherapy including phobias and stress and anxiety arising from any aspect of our lives. As a qualified clinical Hypnotherapist we can work together to effectively tackle phobic responses whatever their cause. Why continue to struggle, doing things the same way with the same results, when you can do it differently?
