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.’

I've been working with Steve for 4 years now and consider sessions with him to be essential to bettering myself and helping me grow my business. I highly recommend Steve as a life coach & business coach, to anyone looking to improve their mindset and bounce back mentality!

Truly a life impacting experience

I can't recommend The Therapy Lounge and specifically Steve as a coach enough! From our very first session from many years ago he created a supportive and challenging environment to guide me on my way to bring the best version out of me. He helped me tremendously in most of my major life areas and his practical exercises and examples truly made a difference. If you're looking for a coach who genuinely cares and truly drives results, Steve is the one for you.

Steve helped me stop smoking.

Steve helped me stop smoking and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

It was a quick and effective process. I can’t even remember when I stopped, it is just something I used to do…

It was worth every penny and means I can bring up my baby daughter in a smoke free house.

Best money I’ve ever spent!!!

Today I overcame a severe needle/blood test phobia that was 30 years in the making. If it wasn’t for Steve at The Therapy Lounge, I wouldn’t have even walked into the room. I will be forever grateful for Steve’s firm but fair approach and his guidance throughout. Thank you Steve for giving me the tools to combat this - could not recommend enough!!!!!

A life changing experience with Steve

At a time when both my personal and professional life seemed to be falling apart, I felt scared, lost, and helpless. From my very first conversation with Steve, I felt somehow re-energized and more positive than I had been in months. I was confident that he could help me sort things out. In just a few sessions, he helped me navigate the chaos, supporting me in making difficult professional decisions and re-focusing on what truly matters to me. Throughout the process, he was always available to provide the emotional support I needed. It was comforting and reassuring to know I had him by my side. He also guided me in identifying the reasons I found myself in that situation and provided tools and advice to ensure it wouldn’t happen again. Steve was a lifesaver, and I am forever grateful to him.

A life changing experience

A life changing experience. I was recommended Kirsten and hypnotherapy by a friend and I must admit I was a little sceptical at first, but that quickly vanished as I was absorbed by Kirsten’s calm and easy presence. I accessed memories and feelings that I’ve never been able to reach before, I feel lighter, driven, compassionate, open, calm, and definitely less anxious. Couldn’t recommend Kirsten more, she’s outstanding. Thank you for everything.

New therapy

After trying multiple therapist, I found Kirsten Dahlerup, and I finally feel like I found someone who makes me feel comfortable, and safe with anything I have to say. She really helped me with blockage and feeling confident.

Helped Me Overcome Public Speaking Fears

I sought Steve’s help to overcome my extreme fear of public speaking, which was severely impacting my daily life and causing anxiety about upcoming speaking events. Steve is a genuinely nice person and very easy to get along with, which greatly facilitated the process. He is methodical and patient. My anxiety was significantly reduced after the first session, and the subsequent sessions enabled me to deliver one of my best talks in front of a large audience. I highly recommend him!

If you're unsure about hypnosis, I’d definitely recommend The Therapy Lounge as a place to start.

If you're unsure about hypnosis, I’d definitely recommend Kirsten. This was something I had been curious about for a while but wasn’t sure what to expect. I sent an email explaining my thoughts, and Kirsten got back to me with a phone call to talk through some of my concerns. She took the time to clearly explain how hypnosis works in a way that was easy for me to understand.
After that, we booked a session, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. In just that one session, I learned things about myself that had never crossed my mind before. Kirsten’s voice was so soothing and calm, which made it much easier for me to relax and fully immerse myself in the experience.
I’m really grateful to Kirsten for her patience and the way she guided me through the whole process. She made the experience truly transformative, and I can’t thank her enough.

Powerful, Inspiring, Action-Oriented - Steve's approach to coaching and…

Steve's approach to coaching and therapy was highly impactful & I would recommend it for anyone looking to engage in their life with more presence, joy, power and success.

The sessions & work empowered me to make changes in my life & take accountability. As a result, my physical health & well being significantly improved, I am more clear of what I want in life and I gained a ton of resources to draw back upon in times of uncertainty.

I liked Steve's directness and honesty. On most occasions, I left our sessions feeling energized & inspired.

The Journey is full-on, and Steve asks for commitment. At the same time, I always felt deeply supported. He also flexed his approach/pivoted according to context.

I am deeply grateful for the experience!

Trust the process

When I first met Steve I was literally dying inside and outside. Steve gave me the tools to overcome my health and personal issues in a very empathetic way. His listening skills are just amazing and I never felt heard like I did while working with him. I feel so grateful that he helped me changing the parts of my life I didn't have the courage to change. But don't think he will do the fixing for you ;-) That's YOUR work . He is empathic, and also very honest in his approach,I was given tools and the books he advised me to read really helped changing my vision of life forever. I would highly recommend you to pay him a visit to help solving things you have always wanted to change in your life . Just Trust the Process.

Before I met Steve I was suffering with chronic anxiety, panic attacks and had completely lost my mojo.

I’m now over all of the above and feel the most confident I have in years of not ever whilst showing up better in my personal and professional life .

Thanks Steve you are a legend

Transformation

Steve’s guidance and support have been nothing short of transformative for me. I truly don’t know where I’d be without the foundation he has helped me build – not just as I navigate my divorce, but as I rediscover who I am as a mother and as an independent person.

Steve has been a constant source of clarity, strength, and encouragement, and his insights have given me the confidence to face challenges I once felt overwhelmed by. I can honestly say I feel stronger, more grounded, and more connected to the version of myself I’ve always hoped to become – and that is in large part because of him.

Kirsten and Steve - Beauty and the beast

Both Steve and Kirsten are totally professional in their approach. I was on a journey to understand myself and the reasons for my oral fixation and my desire to stop smoking.
Steve recommended that I start by working with Kirsten and then be referred back to him. Utilising their strengths and various techniques, I have now stopped putting things in my mouth and I'm still a non smoker 5 weeks later.

Steve is a magician!

Steve has the unique skills of combining incredible empathy and kindness with frank honesty when required. At a moment in my life when I felt lost and hopeless, he helped me to reignite my spark and gain clarity. In a few sessions, he has given me the tools to set clear boundaries and make decisions that bring me happiness. I can honestly say I am a more confident and empowered person thanks to my time with him. I use the habits and lessons he helped me to develop every day of my life.
