I play left handed when i tee off & with some of my iron shots the ball hooks out to the left any tips to rectify this would be much appreciated

If you are left handed & the ball fly's left, wouldn't that be a slice rather than a hook?

If aim yourself to the right and have the clubface at the target you are automatically going to be cutting across the ball, better to stand more square and have the CLUBFACE aiming a little right of the target (a little closed). Your problem generally comes from the fact that the clubface is open at impact in relation to the path you swinging the club on.
As a 'quick fix' you could try closing the clubface a little and then regripping with your normal grip.

If you are cutting across the ball then don't close the clubface as that will cause a pull shot.

Couple of conflicting suggestions.
AS A QUICK (before you go see your Pro) FIX, I'd go with JO's solution - closing the face A LITTLE - but be aware that closing the face too much can indeed result in a Pull.
What you should not do is try to compensate by aligning yourself further and further to the right as, as JO posts, this will cause a bigger and bigger slice!
