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 must admit I was a little bit of a sceptic before I spoke to Steve, I was in a pretty bad way, so what did I have to lose?.. Steve changed my mindset on how I looked at life in ways I honestly thought were never possible. The funny thing is, you end up doing most of the work & Steve just guides you through it all. I would 100% recommend Steve Burns.If you are in doubt or a bit of a sceptic like I was.. trust me, give Steve a go, you will not be disappointed, the decision to use Steve could be one of the best decisions you make in your life!!

For the sceptics

I've tried to quit many times over the years with varying degrees of success (and subsequent failure again!). On a recommendation i decided to give Steve a try. Went in highly sceptical that some conversation and light homework would ever make the difference. As i left Steve said enjoy not being a smoker anymore. I've barely thought about it since (despite being in many situations where previously I would have been triggered) so if you are looking to stop just call Steve!

I had a wonderful experience with…

I had a wonderful experience with Kirsten. I read all the reviews and was stunt, it’s the first time I see this client satisfaction I had to try it myself. I was so intrigued and in need of a “quick” change and I can’t believe it worked.

I thought nothing that is so valuable in life could be achieved so quick, it’s instantaneous, I have always thought everything in life worth-while takes time, but I can safely say this is an experience that I recommend if you are tired of trying traditional therapy, this goes directly to where it needs to go and it changes beliefs instead of traditional therapy which take ages because we must first make things aware and then trial and error, I just think traditional therapy is much slower.

I even spoke to my NHS therapist after I did my 3rd and last hypnotherapy session and she noticed I changed a lot, she asked me what changed!

I was feeling like I had no control of certain impulses and it just seemed very hard to believe I could be this other person in control of emotions and with a calmer and more positive attitude towards life and daily situations. I have been doing traditional therapy (CBT or relational therapy) on and off for years and this is the most effective therapy I have experienced, it’s a no brainer, it made life easier and took out of the way all of those beliefs from trauma or past experiences that might have affected the way I reacted without my “conscience” rational self have a say, the way I think or feel also changed.

I take things easily and I actually feel like I have a secure attachment and its a blessing and I feel like a better version of myself. I feel with the confidence and calmness to manage myself and this is good.

Kirsten is very warm and sweet, I love her loving approach.

Very recommended.

My time with this amazing human being and soul, truly saved my life. Steve’s dedication and commitment to each client and their needs is immediately felt. He has guided me through one of the worst traumas of my life and shown me a new path that has made me the best version of myself and happiest I have ever been.

Steve Transformed My Life!

Through just 2 sessions Steve completely transformed my life.

Niggling old habits that were ruining my life have gone, and what's more my total outlook has changed. I'm happier, more confident, have lost weight and free from old habits.

I've never met a more remarkable man. Whatever your challenge, trust him, he can do it.

I don't know what else to say. The most incredible experience. My life has changed forever, for the better. Thank you Steve. Nic

Amazing Impact

Steve is an excellent coach. He really helped me to deal with my anxiety and anger issues and as a result I frown less and smile more and I’m a much calmer person :) Thank you so much Steve! I highly recommend him.

Kirsten has changed my life!

As dramatic as it sounds, I honestly believe that one session with Kirsten has changed my life!
I got in touch through a recommendation from a friend as I had been feeling increasingly anxious over the last three years.
Kirsten was so easy to talk to and she soon realised that it was my toxic relationship with my partner that was adding to my anxiety but what I loved is that she let me come to my own conclusion about it.
I've known for a long time that my relationship wasn't right and wasn't serving me but I'm a people pleaser by nature so I never felt strong enough to leave it as I didn't want to upset him or cause confrontation so it's always been easier to ride the negative waves whilst knowing I would be happier out of it.
I had completely lost myself during the relationship and Kirsten made me realise that the inner child in me is still here and that I don't have to be scared and that we deserve so much better.
I had my appointment with Kirsten on the Tuesday and by Wednesday I felt strong enough to end the relationship!! I know its not going to be easy but I can't thank Kirsten enough for making me feel strong and ready to take control of my life and I'm excited for my future and I feel like I can take on the world with my inner child in my heart.
If you're thinking about an appointment with Kirsten stop what you're doing and book it, I promise you it will be the best thing you ever did ❤️

See Steve Burns. His approach is fast, furious, incisive and most importantly: works.

Steve Burns transformed my beliefs and decades-long fear around public speaking. It’s no exaggeration to say my sessions with him were life-changing and have enabled me to understand and undo the harm caused by my worst critic - myself. See this man and listen carefully to his (sometimes very direct!) wisdom. He is worth every penny, and more.

Steve has changed the way I see through life and everyday events. His teachings together with the books he suggested me to read really resonated in me and helped me take a new approach to things that would usually annoy me and take them in a calmer way. I felt he understood me and I enjoyed the sessions with him.

I'm really lucky that I met Kirsten. Work we'done together opened the doors that I didn't know about before. Creator Mindset spoke to me from the very beginning. Our conversations changed my way of seeing myself. Thank you so much!

Public speaking

Steve did an amazing job of breaking down my previous mindset around public speaking and rebuilding one that is more positive and assured. It was very easy to connect with Steve, who shared a vast amount of information with me to help me to overcome my fear. There was a bit of homework that needed to be done but it was a fascinating process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steve. He's direct, results-driven and put simply a nice human being.

Invaluable support for mind and body

I approached Kirsten for support with a chronic health issue, to get better with stress management, and to help heal the neurological issues I experience. I thoroughly recommend hypnotherapy as a route for reconciling the emotional and the physical, and offering a holistic form of support. Kirsten has wells of empathy, warmth and kindness, as well as providing ample practical techniques for disrupting unhelpful ways of being or seeing. My condition is invisible to others, and it felt incredibly validating to be 'seen'. I firmly believe that my sessions with her, and the self-hypno she has taught me, will see me fully well again. I already feel my physical health has vastly improved, which is a joy.

The Committed Coach

Steve is a truly committed and results-oriented coach. He is sympathetic but also determined, on the basis of his experience, that you make the most of your opportunities, despite the challenges.

Thank you Kirsten

Kirsten is kind, caring and calming. She puts you at ease and is very understanding. Kirsten helped me to understand and relieve my anxiety - with many tools and tips. She also helped me with my relationships with others and confidence in being myself. I always left the sessions feeling lighter, calmer and happier. I would highly recommend Kirsten and I would definitely work with her again. Thank you Kirsten!
