The Therapy Lounge Reviews 

First of all, I would like to say that prior to speaking to a friend that had used Steve, and then Steve himself, I was the ultimate "I do not need therapy" guy.

I am independent and confident in most aspects of my life. However I had some personal relationship issues which I knew I had to address.

At a very low point, I spoke to a friend who I share many similar values with - and he recommended me to Steve.

As soon as I had spoken to Steve he reccomended me a book to read Before our session and this continued of always advising great tools to help reinforce anything discussed even outside the sessions.

Steve is both beautifully to the point, but also incredibly empathetic. I went to Steve for a specific reason and ended up understanding the importance of mental health. We concentrate on our physical health but quite often neglect the mental side.

Steve not only helped me through the toughest part of my life, but also gave me foundations to continuously take care of yourself mentally.

Besides from being fanatstic at breaking down situations, understanding or even just finding the courage to make hard decisions, it comes across fully that Steve actually cares.

Whether it was addiciton, trauma, or just you feel a bit s**t about something - I would be sending any friend or family memeber Steve's way.

Working with Steve has been one of the most impactful coaching/therapy experiences. He has coached me on various aspects of my life: parenting, guidance on profound life decisions and general life tools. Every conversation with Steve leaves me feeling more empowered and confident. Thank you!!

A truly uplifting experience, effective immediately !
I highly recommend Kirsten as she is very knowledgable, kind, experienced and professional. I have really benefitted from her wonderful sessions.

I cannot put into words just how impactful and important this has been for me. I have learned so much in three one to one sessions … things I’ve struggled with for years. I feel I have insight, strength and the tools now to be me, to be strong and to thrive. I am so thankful to Kirsten, and I look forward to living with a different outlook and will be back for refreshers for sure ❤️❤️❤️

I found my session with Kirsten has helped me give up smoking. After ten days I have experienced only a fraction of the cravings and mood swings I have had on previous attempts and no real temptation to actually smoke. So I am very pleased

Steve has given me great tools that enabled me to be my own therapist. He was able to help me in a deeper common sense level that I never considered.I went from suffering from a long depression triggered by the pandemic to being more empowered in my thinking. Thanks so much!

I came to Steve as a last attempt to try to improve my fear of speaking, not just to large groups even small meetings. I have tried other methods in the past such as CBT and hypnotherapy but Steve was the only person that really made a difference. I will likely see Steve again to help in other areas in the future, highly recommend. Thank you ☺️

Kirsten provides great service and support to help you determine and achieve your goals in a holistic and sensitive environment and I highly recommend her.

Kirsten helped me to overcome a fear of ski lifts and cable cars. I can’t recommend her highly enough! She is gentle, compassionate and very perceptive. I’m very grateful to her!

It's hard to translate into words the work Steve has done with me over the course of our journey together. Steve is a man that not only talks with experience but with complete compassion, understanding and truly cares about the work he engages in with you.

My review would end up a novel if I wanted to share my adventure with him, so I'll do my best to summarise. I entered his office a lost soul, confused as to why, struggling with severe addiction and totally impervious to change. On the surface, I seemed like an average man going about his business but internally there was monumental suffering, heartache and despair in how to navigate my emotions and my life.

I suppose you could say that I wasn’t quite aware in that initial moment when we met of how far this journey would go but I can safely say that it’ll stay with me as one of the best decisions of my life. At 36 years old, I have serenity in my life and feelings of contentment which are not only a first but are now the drivers of my emotional wellbeing and happiness.

If you’re looking for the review that provides you with confidence that the service you’re about to receive is worth it, then you’ve found it. I can safely say that Steve has been the vital part of the joy I now have day-to-day and I will always be thankful that I took a leap of faith in him, his work and of course his advice.

Thanks again Steve.

I have worked with Kirsten several times over the past few years and she is an expert at supporting people through challenging situations and trying to make positive changes. I really recommend her especially for anyone who hasn't had therapy before and

Kirsten was kind of my last chance after struggling for 20 years with eating disorder. 4 sessions and 4 months later I can happily say that my life has completely changed. Kristen taught me so much about myself and how to control and deal with my emotions. I wish I had found her before. Can not recommend enough ❤️

Amazing experience and I’m smoke free😊I procrastinated for years -33 to be exact. The process is pain/ trauma free and Steve is very confident and knowledgeable.You can tell that he knows what he’s doing and he’s doing it for ages.Stop procrastinating and take control of your health.Thank you Steve.

Working with Kirsten (and with Steve a while back) helped resolve some ongoing issues I had for years. The work done with Hypnoses provided a new perspective on the relationship with myself and others and the tools that she gave me have been enhancing these improvements. Although not economical in the short term it was worth it because within a few sessions – unlike other therapies –our the work done led to a clear improvement in my self-esteem and relationship with the world. Highly recommended!!!

Steve at The Therapy Lounge is a great mentor and insightful therapist. He always enters the room full of energy and, by the end of a session, no matter what crisis I feel I'm in, always seems to get me to the point of feeling up to the challenge of facing that issue head on. Rather than practising any specific therapy type he brings with him a huge toolkit of skills and learnings that he can apply to seemingly any situation to help me think about things differently and help me tease out what's going on in my head. Something I have found refreshing compared to traditional talking therapy (although that is certainly part of his work) is to set intentions together at the end of a meeting that I can actively work on inbetween sessions - I have found this to be a great way to help instill new learnings, pull myself up session-to-session and give myself a roadmap that's personal to my own makeup. I have visited therapists for over 10 years and have never made such progress in such a short time as I have with Steve - he's one in a million... I just wish there were a million Steve's so we could all benefit :)

Steve has been absolutely fantastic all along the way. A good while back he used a lovely term and said providing i do the work i will reach the point where I start to blossom, and i can really say that with Steve’s love for what he does, guidance, knowledge and a fair amount of hard work from both me and Steve, i really am starting to blossom and things are falling into place. After many years im finally in the drivers seat of my own life and Steve gave me all the tools needed to find my way through the fog to get to where i am now. Overall if anyone, Steve is the man that will help you turn things around, providing you are consistent and put the work in, you will also reach the point where things really start to slot into place.

Thank you

Steve totally gets it, helps, explains, supports and guides. Highly recommended!

I am and was very cynical of self help books, figures and talking heads, I think with good reason. Steve is a rational, blunt, charismatic and supportive presence who challenges you when you know you need to be. As I said in the title I no longer drink, I was drinking to the extent it was controlling my life and all that goes along with that. He provides good tools to use and think he can be a great help to people to have confidence and be happier about their lives in many aspects of the human condition. I had some therapy a few years previous, Steve was far superior. If you're ready for a change for the better in your life and need support I would thoroughly recommend.

This man!
Words alone do not give him enough praise.
If you are looking for a kind, intelligent, caring, thoughtful, and brilliant coach/therapist Steve Burns is your guy.
I have seen 5 therapists in my time. By far, Steve's ability to understand human beings and their background is second to none.
He brought a perfect blend of kindness, caring, understanding, and directness that I needed.
I am 100% certain he has the skills to adapt and help many different people from all walks of life.
He doesn't judge and has one goal, to guide you into living a more fulfilled/happier life.
He is extremely switched on and on the odd occasion shows glimpses of wittiness.
If you are willing to commit to the work Steve asks of you, he will do everything in his power to be there for you.
It has been one of the greatest pleasures in my life to go through the process with Steve and I hope anyone that is struggling manages to find him.
I wholeheartedly recommend Steve as a coach/therapist. If he can help you, HE WILL!
Thank you for all your time and everything you have done for me.

Kirsten had been recommended to me by a friend, so I began our sessions with optimism and an open mind.

Kirsten helped me analyse the reason and motivation for my smoking and showed me that I was capable of stopping and being in control of my impulses. She provided some hypnotherapy tapes for me to keep and these have proved very helpful in both reinforcing her coaching and also in helping me relax.

Kirsten is warm and reassuring and I felt very comfortable during our three sessions. It is entirely due to her expert coaching that I have been able to kick the habit. I warmly recommend her to others seeking help.
