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.’

Move Forwards

Steve was absolutely fantastic and enabled me to take a look at my life, make the changes I need to make and move forwards and be happy again. I felt very low going into his office the first time and didn't know how I could turn things around. After only 4 sessions I was feeling so much better and knew what I needed to do to move forwards with my life. There is no magic in his process, in fact it's all quite simple really, but maybe the simplicity is what makes it magic. I can't recommend Steve highly enough.

Everyone could use a bit of Steve's help

In a few very short, effective, impactful sessions Steve has provided a framework that allows me to remind myself of simple things that matter most to me. As with many things: this stuff works because you do. That's also the main selection criteria for the whole endeavour as well as the only success criterion. Just do it. Skipping ahead, I can tell you that my desired outcome has been achieved. Spoiler alert: the work does not stop there. Some of the impact was available almost instantly, some appeared later, some is still to be discovered. If you're human and you're reading this with a purpose, you might want to give it a try.

A beautiful and empowering healing session

Kirsten has helped me twice now to deal with some very difficult topics. She has such a soft, calming voice you are immediately put at ease and trusting of her powerful hypnosis therapy. I can’t thank her enough for her expertise. She puts a huge amount of work into just one session which I have benefitted greatly from.
I would highly recommend kirsten (I already have to many friends).
Thanks so much again Kirsten for your help.

Kirsten was amazing

Kirsten was amazing, I could not recommend her enough. She is so capable and fabulous and even the sessions being on Zoom was no issue for her. She’s so insightful, warm-hearted , incredibly wise and speaking to her has been so enlightening and inspiring. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. Really really appreciate everything she’s done for me! Thank you

I had three sessions with Steve in June…

I had three sessions with Steve in June to deal with public speaking anxiety that I have suffered from for over 10 years. In that whole decade I almost completely avoided public speaking, and the small presentations that I did were only possible with the help of prescription medication.

Seeing Steve was a big decision to try and get this situation under control. He was a voice of reason to my muddled thoughts, and we really went back to the roots of the issue to look at how I ended up with the phobia in the first place. Steve was an incredible guide through this process and I can't thank him enough for the energy he puts into his work. It really felt like he cared and wanted to understand me and help me make long lasting changes.

And it worked! In June I gave four presentations without medication (and in a relatively calm state!). I also feel that I have the tools moving forward to push these positive changes further, which is exactly what I wanted.

Thank you!

Steve helped me to change my life

Steve helped me to change my life. With his guidance, homework, and at times brutal honesty I was able to address old behaviours and start focusing on what I actually want for my life. The transformation I have felt after 6 short weeks working with Steve is beyond any expectation I had. It's truly the best investment I've made in myself.

HELP!

Recently I had a very difficult situation arise that I would have struggled to deal with on my own. I had seen Steve Burns in the past and asked if he might help me deal with the situation.
Steve was very understanding and got straight to work no messing about. Steve took the stress off me and helped me through the difficult process and time.
We had a very good out come and can't thank Steve enough for all his help, hard work and support.

Highly recommend!

I had a course of sessions with Steve a few months ago now and I really can’t recommend the therapy lounge enough!
I was really struggling at the time with some family issues and life in general after the past year but steve really has helped me have a new look on life.
I have never been in that situation before and didn’t know what to expect but Steve made me feel at ease right from the go and is genuinely a really kind and warm hearted guy.
If your reading this and looking for help do not wait you couldn’t ask for anyone better! X

Excellent!

I received excellent coaching from Steve Burns. He is extremely professional, provides a lot of additional support and is passionate about making a difference in people’s lives. The hypnotherapy was extremely successful too.

So happy I stumbled upon the therapy lounge!

I have been struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety attacks since 2017. I tried several types of therapy but with little success. The only thing which relieved a bit my pain were the antidepressive medicines that I started taking in 2019. But still I felt like I was not at my best, I was most of the time pretty sad, dwelling about my past issues and terrified at the idea of that the intrusive thoughts could come back.
Few months ago I was listening to the Eat Burn Sleep podcast and I discovered Steve and the Therapy Lounge. I instantly felt the urge of reaching out, I was afraid (mainly for the financial aspect but also I felt too broken to be fixed) but I decided to invest in my emotional health and giving it a go.
Steve was really what I was looking for: 'he did not give me a fish, but he thought me how to fish' (Italian proverb) and he did not label me, he made me feel normal, human!
Steve gave me the tools to work on myself in between sessions and this is priceless. I feel now more grounded, more peaceful and more confident that I have the tools and the skills to go though hard times.

A Truly Impactful Service

Working with Steve has enabled me to make real, long-lasting changes to my well-being in all senses, empowering me to think better, feel better and be better (Just as it says on the website!) it's been truly incredible and for me, the results have spoken for themselves! Thank you Steve.

Amazing, life changing experience.

I worked with Kirsten over 4 sessions and really explored areas of my life which i didn't even know i needed. Although i went for weight loss specifically i found that the healing work we did, filtered into and changed many areas of my life. I am now experiencing deeper relationships with friends, family and creating personal boundaries. Kirsten has given me the tools to live more authentically and in turn not need to dumb my feelings.

I would recommend Kirsten to everyone and the therapy lounge to anyone. xx

My early 40th birthday present to myself

I am turning 40 soon and wanted to cross this milestone free of my family-caused emotional baggages and anxieties, and to complete my weight loss journey (I had lost 10kg during the lockdown sensibly and can’t get the last 3kgs to go and not to start gaining it all back).
Over 3 sessions Kirsten helped me unpack the issues I had with my family and their well meaning but toxic parenting so I can truly move forward with tools to positively transform my relationships with them and with myself.
For people on the fence and worried that it sounds too much like magic: I’m not saying I have zero anxieties (I’m still human and not numb) but they are greatly reduced, I am able to identify triggers and work through issues quicker, and their impact are shorter if any at all, which makes me feel better and lighter, and feeds into a confidence loop that makes the next trigger even easier to deal with. So there is some ongoing work to do (forever?) but the therapy makes it intuitive/ easy to do what is needed to heal ourselves and then to thrive. Also it’s super relaxing- like your best spa day x 1000.
The weight loss / over-eating stuff wasn’t even a big deal to a pro like Kirsten she dealt with it in one session - reinforced common sense and practical mindful eating habits (which my body already wanted to do so but I didn’t know how not to stand in my own way) and restore joy to eating. It didn’t work for the immediate meal after the session but the subsequent meals after that were definitely effortlessly satisfying and healthy. I’m not stuffing my face, or obsessively calculating every calorie. I will be listening to the recording if I feel this trajectory slipping but so far so good.
If you have mental blockages and issues that are keeping you from being 100% your true self and living your best life, I highly recommend getting an appointment with Kirsten.

Positively challenging and very productive

Steve was recommended to me by a colleague. Over the last 10 weeks, Steve has helped me transform my perspective on life; from a negative and excessively self-critical outlook to a positive, engaged and enthusiastic outlook. His way of working is straight-forward, aimed at achieving change quickly where the individual is empowered with supporting guidance. The combination of reading, videos, exercises and talking are refreshingly simple, thought provoking and effective. I really enjoyed working with Steve and this investment in effort rapidly restored the positives in my life. Thank you Steve! I won't hesitate to recommend to you when the occasion arises in the future.

Therapy Lounge

Steve and his team have helped me make some tremendous changes in my life, and in my outlook on it.
My sessions are fun, insightful and ALWAYS leave me with simple but decisive actions to implement.
Quite often, I cannot see the wood for the trees in life. Steve has consistently helped me clear a path through to my goal, whether that be health, career or family oriented.
I cannot rate the Therapy Lounge highly enough.
Thanks

Steve and Kirsten changed the way I see…

Steve and Kirsten changed the way I see myself, the people around me, and the human condition. Life itself feels irreversibly changed because of the things they taught me. Doing this work together with them is one of the best things I've done in my life: It's enlightening, emotional, immersive, sometimes overwhelming, and 100% worth every minute. They're two very perceptive, kind, empathetic, and inspiring people who help you see things more clearly, decode your feelings, beliefs and goals, so you can set a good course for the future. If you're open and honest, and you put in the work, they can help you be happier, look after yourself better, find your creativity again, and give you new drive and excitement to enjoy what life has to offer. I'm forever grateful that they came into my life.

I smoked for fifty years having tried to give it up so many times.
Met Kirsten had one session of hypnotherapy and never smoke again.
Cannot stand the smell, it repuse me.
Then 6 years later and coming out of lockdown showed that I had gained eight kilos since last October.
Tried one diet after another, and called Kirsten again.
The feeling that if all else fail you can without struggling stop the torment is great.
I like Kirsten, she is strait forward and genually caring.
Just had my hypno this afternoon. Feel lighter, stress gone. Ate some celery and it tasted amazing.
I am the type of person who ated anything of a green colour,specially vegetables smoothie. Went to have another couple of sticks.
On my way to loose three stines in the next six months and smiling
Thank you Kirsten
