Written by the company

We are passionate about helping our clients live happier, healthier and more abundant lives. Through a combination of rapid dynamic therapies (CBT, NLP & Hypnotherapy) and emotional coaching techniques, over no more than three or four sessions most of our clients exceed their own expectations for rapid, genuine, long lasting change. We work across a myriad emotional challenges including low self confidence and self esteem, anxiety, phobias, addictions, food and relationship issues and smoking cessation. We are a small team of two - Kirsten Dahlerup and Steve Burns. Between us we have over 40 years of experience working one to one with over 6,000 clients. We work in very (very) different ways using different modalities, so it is rare that we can't help a client change. Kirsten for example has a passion for and specialises in healing childhood trauma whilst Steve is more focussed around addictions, phobias and emotional coaching. In this crazy world of ours, living an emotionally healthy life is the key to living a happier life and given we only get one shot, perhaps it's time to consider doing some work on yourself because as John Milton so aptly put it: ‘The mind is its own place - it can make a heaven out of hell or a hell out of heaven.’

Beyond my expectations

The sessions I attended with Kirsten went beyond my expectations. I initially signed up for hypnotherapy to help with anxiety but got so much more than this. Kirsten highlighted how to make small changes to my behaviour which made a big difference to my mindset and coupled with the hypnotherapy I feel more confident to deal with lifes challenges as they arise.

Saw real differences in a short space of time

I needed to get my life back on track. Was initially a bit worried about the cost but Steven was true to his word, got to the point and I shifted gears over the course of just a few sessions. He’s insightful, direct, and seeks genuine results. Highly recommended.

Beyond my expectations

Beyond my expectations. In just a few sessions working with Steve on my phobia of public speaking, I saw and continue to see dramatic improvements in my confidence presenting in front of audiences. Steve is hugely passionate about what he does and really cares about his clients, he was an absolute pleasure to work with and gave clear, honest insights and a roadmap to help me achieve my goals and I had a lot of fun doing so.  Perhaps the most surprising of all is that I began to become unstuck in other areas that were outside of my awareness as a result of all the work we did together. Thank you!

Personal, effective and real progress

Steve was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. He’s personal, direct and effective with his craft. I have made some noticeable changes during my time with him and have the roadmap ahead of me to continue making tangible progress. Thank you Steve - catch you in a few months.

Thank you Kirsten

For the last 10 years, Kirsten has been instrumental in my personal life and growth. From first helping me get over a messy divorce, to helping me navigate early life traumas, improving my family relationships to more recently supporting me with ideas on mental heath and financial success. I can thank her and the Therapy Lounge team enough. Super recommended

Steve is excellent - he is compassionate, worked with me to support and understand the help I was looking for and managed to make you laugh even at my lowest point. Having worked with Steve, my emotional health has never felt better or stronger and I would not hesitate to recommending him

Transformational therapy!

Transformational therapy!

I went to the therapy lounge due to my 8 year long phobia of driving and how much it was negatively impacting my life and freedom. In all honesty I was a bit apprehensive, I am a huge advocate of therapy but this fear was so deeply ingrained it felt like it would take a long time to overcome.

The apprehension was completely unwarranted - Steve was absolutely amazing and just after the first session where we unravelled some of my core beliefs I already felt different and my mindset had shifted. He undertakes his work with a great amount of empathy, sensitivity and care but is also in tune with what the individual needs to hear and the individualised approach to take. I was very impressed with the way he navigated and uncovered deeper areas as I was talking and the lessons and change in beliefs I have taken away with me far exceeds driving.

Four months ago (October 2021) when I started with Steve I was driving with an instructor, constantly gripped my fear and hating every second - not knowing how I was going to transition to driving on my own, let alone going for a test drive to buy a car that I desperately needed. Six weeks later - with two two hour sessions with Steve and a lot of homework and bravery on my part (thanks to the tools he gave me!) I not only bought a car but was driving around town on my own. By Christmas I was driving on motorways, at night, in torrential rain, on country roads...you name it. Something that I didn't even think was possible.

The fear hasn't gone but it no longer has control over me in the way it had and I have the right tools and core beliefs to be able to overcome it. Steve's therapy isn't a magic trick (closest thing to it though). It isn't cheap and it isn't easy but if you are truly committed to make a once and for all change then I can't recommend Therapy Lounge enough.

Helped more than thought possible

Absolutely life changing, Steve, helped me improve my life so that I am now able to do more than I thought possible. Prior to Steve and I's conversations I was known for passing out just talking about my needle phobia. Since Steve's and I's conversations I've managed to gain so much confidence in both my phobia and in myself I've had both Vaccinations and 2 separate blood tests as well improving my own life.
I couldn't recommend this place higher for anyone struggling in any capacity, he helped my confidence so that now I know nothing is unattainable!
Thank you so much.

Kirsten provided wonderful support to me during a recent health challenge. I felt that she listened very carefully to me, helped me to understand the effect of stress on my body and gave me many techniques to address this. I also really enjoyed and felt inspired by our sessions.

More than I could have ever expected

More than I could have ever expected!

It would be heard to describe my time with Steve at The Therapy Lounge as anything short of lifechanging. He is hugely experienced, relatable and fantastic at what he does. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Thank you!

I am SO grateful for the safe space both Steve and Kirsten provided for me to share my journey, expose my vulnerability, confront (and perhaps most importantly accept) my demons- or the many parts of my human self. It’s been challenging, emotional and wonderful. Thank you.

Truly life changing

Truly life changing. Steve has helped me weather the darkest period of my life with such care, empathy and incredible skill. His experience is evident in his process and thanks to him I have turned my life around. The only option for therapy in London in my opinion.

Steve is the best

Steve is the best. He genuinely cares about his clients and sprinkles in some tough love to help you see things clearly. Steve provides you with the necessary tools to help create positive change in your life! Will always recommend Steve.

Back on my feet!

Kirsten’s work was amazing and thoughtful, I could not recommend her enough. Our sessions helped me greatly solving my past problems and got me back on my feet. She is great at guiding the patient through the hypnosis and reaching in to the depth of our psyche. The sessions are well balanced between an initial introduction / discussion and then hypnoses. Also the follow up audio tracks are a useful tool to maintain the work done alive (I am listening to them on weekly basis). It is worth also keeping an eye on her website for additional audio and video material.

Thank you Kirsten for everything!

Kirsten came highly recommended through two close family members and did not disappoint.

Whilst I had initial worries undertaking sessions over Zoom, Kirsten made me feel instantly at ease through her relaxed, welcoming and friendly manner.

Kirsten was open, understanding and thoughtful as to my situation and after my first session I felt a positive change and calmer outlook. I came away from my time with Kirsten with a greater understanding of how to control my thoughts and best practices and techniques for future help and guidance.

I cannot thank Kirsten enough and would highly recommend her.

Kirsten is kind and warm, she is easy to engage with and I would not hesitate to recommend her onward

Kirsten was recommended to me after I had experienced the trauma of a relationship breakdown. Although initially hesitant with non face to face sessions, Kirsten instantly put me at ease and I found myself able to engage honestly and openly about my feelings. Kirsten is incredibly intuitive and makes you question your own perceptions and beliefs of reality, providing genuine techniques to manage these emotions independently. I found that after only three sessions I was able to manage my emotions and engage with the process of ending a significant relationship and marriage. I cannot thank Kirsten enough. This was an investment in my mental health and has taught me methodology that I will have life-long achieved in a relatively short period of time. Kirsten is kind and warm, she is easy to engage with and I would not hesitate to recommend her onward, there is no better investment than yourself or your mental health and Kirsten makes challenging and emotive situations much less daunting. Personal thanks to Kirsten - Thank you for all your help, I certainly wouldn't have achieved as much without your support and guidance, you are a very special person who I am forever grateful to. Best wishes, Verity

Thanks Steve

I am happy to recommend Steve as an ethical quality therapist. He’s everything one might ask for in terms of a sympathetic, supportive, sensible human being. I have found him to be extremely helpful and even though our transaction is purely professional I feel as if I can count on him as a friend.
