The Therapy Lounge Reviews 

I had been struggling to give up smoking for many years and tried various different methods, always stopping and starting .
If you want to give up once and for all get Steve to help you help yourself!
After the therapy/hypnosis I’m now a very happy confident non smoker.
I believe I will never smoke again .
I Enjoyed the process and Steve’s approach and method were interesting and can be applied to other aspects of my life.
Found it really useful and now I’m going to continue working on changing some other aspects of my life for the better.
I’ve recommended many close friends and family as I believe if you really want to make some changes you can and definitely will,
with some straight talking experienced ,intelligent guidance from Steve.

What an absolute pleasure. Steve is brilliant. I went to Steve for hypnotherapy to support with my incoming IVF journey. Honest, open, down to earth and brilliant at managing expectations. His explanation of what to expect, what was required of me and how to ensure the best outcome was completely clear from the outset. I did have a fear of needles but now, tried and tested, 30 years on, I only wish I’d found him sooner. Be prepared to be open and work hard at the process (just trust it!) and you won’t be disappointed. I can’t recommend highly enough. Also a fantastic sense of humour, right up my street. It’s inspired me to read more around it and pinch a few titles of the books he recommends. Aftercare was great too, genuinely keen to know how I was getting on. Thanks for helping me help myself ;)

Kirsten takes great care to help you with whatever issues you’re dealing with. Calm and gentle she will talk through narratives you have made for yourself and help reframe them to a healthier mind set.

Steve has successfully managed to coach me from being afraid to speak on Zoom to 10 of my colleagues, all the way through to delivering multiple presentations in the same week, in person, the largest of which was to 500+ people at the biggest conference in my industry! I never would have thought this would be possible for me a year ago and I'm still amazed that these all felt so easy to deliver, what an incredible result.

It's been less than a year since I started working with Steve and I have to say that while the process can be challenging at times it has also been a lot of fun and I always really look forward to our sessions. Steve goes out of his way to do the absolute best for you and really knows how to get the most out of you.

My growth in confidence in the last year as a result of the work we've done together has also helped me move forward in other areas of life that I didn't even realise weren't working for me.

“Our deepest fears are like dragons guarding our deepest treasure.”

Thank you Steve

I’ve had 3 sessions with Kirsten over the last few months for a sugar addiction, which I’ve struggled with since my teenage years and been seeking help with for nearly 2 years. Before starting with Kirsten I felt totally out of control around sugar. I would feel compelled to buy massive chocolate bars daily and would get through them in a day or so. It was so bad that I was regularly feeling dizzy due to the blood sugar rollercoaster it was creating (even though I’m pretty young still in my 20s).

Although I was worried about diabetes and other health complications, I couldn’t imagine a future where I didn’t need sugar and could not find the impetus within me to change my behaviour. However after only a few sessions with Kirsten this previously unimaginable future has become much closer to a reality.
Kirsten has given me a priceless gift which I am so grateful for that I’m sure will add many years to my life and life quality. I am now able to have sugar free days several times per week and have even lost some weight (which was also part of my goal). I feel a lot more prepared to take on life’s challenges and I feel empowered to continue on this journey.

What really helped me as well was the regression that I did with Kirsten. I had tried working with health coaches/nutritionists before to address my issue but couldn’t manage any sustained reduction in sugar. I felt the health coaches I had used previously were not going deep enough to address my addiction, and were only looking at surface level factors like stress from work. During regression with Kristen we discovered the root of my addiction lay in my childhood and was finally able to address it directly.

Thank you Kirsten for this great gift you have given me and I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family (in fact I’ve already recommended you to someone just a few mins ago before writing this!).

Well, where do I begin...
A nurse afraid of needles laughable really, but it got to the point during the pandemic where it was embarrassing and at 30 years of age I decided things needed to change.
I made contact with Steve and following a Zoom session, hypnotherapy session and a lot of homework I was ready to face my phobia with a new mindset.
The day approached no sleepless nights, no loss of appetite, no panic attacks and anxiety. I attended the appointment with my partner and other then a few tears to myself it was fine!
I couldn't believe it, neither could my partner who repeated she is a different women! I know that with the foundation work I can be even better :) This has changed my life and I am so grateful! I will never like needles but I am now able to manage them differently thank you so much

I saw Steve to help me overcome a phobia I developed of driving on motorways. I had tried everything - so he was my last ditch attempt at overcoming this once and for all. I was therefore nervous about it working. Everything was easy with Steve, right from the outset. He put me at ease from the word go, explained clearly how things would work, and we developed a plan. Steve was generous with his time - I never felt rushed. He followed up in between sessions meaning I always felt supported. He is extremely knowledgeable and as he says, the science really does work! I am pleased to say that after two sessions with Steve I am now able to drive on the motorway myself without being overcome with anxiety. I am forever grateful and highly recommend Steve - he's amazing at what he does and ever the professional :-)

I am more aware of myself and the lens of which I had developed to look at life through. Having a better understanding of why I may have been seeing life the way I had been allowed me to remove them and see clearly. With the help of Kirsten I am applying the lessons taught me and walking my talk. I will surely turn to The Therapy Lounge again to continue my development or to find ways of how I can pay this help I received forward.

I found Steve to be a great life coach.
Holistic in his assessment and views.
The methodology and thinking was personal and bespoke but built on many years of research and practical experience.
I walked out of Steve’s office after our last consultation a happier person with a more realistic perspective on my life. Most importantly, my family can see the positive difference.

There are not many times you can point to an individual and state with certainty that life is better because of them. Steve is a coach first and foremost that gives you the confidence, techniques and support to guide you on the journey to where you need to be. I cannot recommend enough.

Easy going and very thorough. I’ve been smoking for 20 years (20 pack a day) and one session with Steve and I’ve stopped. Amazing work Steve!!

I had an amazing experience with Kirsten. She is generous and helped me see and unblock old patterns that were preventing me to achieve my goals. Now, I am more aware of myself and learned to put into practice the many tools Kirsten taught me. I will surely turn to her again when I find myself stuck in some big life project.

Kirsten has taken me from a place of anxiety and cravings to a calm and peaceful existence. For the first time in many years I feel at ease with myself. Importantly the people to whom I am closest have also noticed the change and are as impressed as I am with the change that Kirsten has facilitated.

Over the years I have found myself coming back to the therapy, I first discovered through the therapy lounge. Kirsten is warm, kind and funny. The calm and relaxed blend of approaches she calls upon suit me well and work on all levels. It has become a 'safe space' for me, a place from which I have been able to deal with some very challenging things. It has been a force for good in my life, and something I am very grateful for. I cannot recommend it, and Kirsten highly enough.

I came to Steve last year to have some help working on some public speaking at work, as I was getting very anxious making presentations. I thought it would be quite practical - some breathing and mindfulness exercises with some hypnotherapy on the side! However, there is nothing superficial about Steve's approach - he helped me understand the root causes of my anxiety and challenged my thinking in a really profound way. I haven't had a panic attack since, which is wonderful, but I also have a far better understanding of myself. I have recently returned for a couple more sessions which were also incredibly helpful.

Steve is kind and straight-talking at the same time, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Kirsten has helped me build the tools to manage negative emotions and fear aswell as decision making. She has such a beautiful calm but clear way of guiding the sessions to get to the root of the problems and has really shifted my thinking. I was nervous when starting but found I actually looked forward to the sessions and felt amazing and confident afterwards. It’s also lovely to receive emails and guided meditations afterward so you feel supported along the way. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for help.

Steve was fantastic! I initially contacted him for help concerning anxiety around an upcoming medical procedure, and he not only helped me with this, but with so much more besides. Over the course of three sessions, his direct and to-the-point style enabled me to see things with a clarity I've never had before, and he has really "helped me to help myself". Money very well spent; would highly recommend.

Fantastic!

Kirsten has a very patient, understanding and wise approach.

I was cured!

I felt I had come to a point in my life where something needed to change. I was working every hour under the sun, sleeping only a few hours a night, suffering from anxiety attacks and overall not being pleasant company. Most of all, I realised that if something didn't change, then everything would ultimately end in tears with my family, friends and career.

After a Google search I quickly discovered The Therapy Lounge and scheduled a session with Steve. Prior to the session, I read every single Trustpilot review of Steve. By the time the first session arrived, I was in a mindset of being completely open, trusting and prepared for anything.

The sessions with Steve were a breath of fresh air and I left each one with a sense that inner changes were taking place. There is homework - a fair bit of it - but you get out what you put into it, therefore I suggest that you throw yourself in and trust the process.

My last session with Steve was over a month ago and I purposely waited for leaving this review so that it wasn't influenced by any 'honeymoon period' that can quite often happen when addressing personal changes.

I feel now that I have an evolving sense of clarity for the first time in a very long time. I'm much clearer on what I really want, what's important to me and what I choose to prioritise. I can literally see changes unfold before my eyes; changes that I am not forcing but that are a natural extension of my evolving and clearer mindset.

I am due to see Steve for the last time in one month's time, to circle back on where we left off. I have absolutely no doubt that these changes are for the long term and I am extremely grateful for all the support that Steve has given. Not only is Steve a top bloke, he is also human - in that sense that he's not perfect, has multiple flaws (and openly admits them) and goes through the same life challenges as we all do.

I feel absolutely privileged to have met Steve and very much hope we will stay in contact for time to come. Not only would I class him as a therapist / healer / coach, but also a friend.

If you're reading this and thinking about making some changes - don't hesitate, schedule a call back and go with the flow. You will not be disappointed.

I had two 2 hour sessions with Steve due to an upcoming presentation to 50 people that I was terrified to give. Before my two sessions with Steve, I couldn’t see a way in which I would have been able to do it at all, let alone do it well. Im still not quite sure how Steve managed to totally turn my mindset around in one week, but he did, and my presentation went extremely well. All of my colleagues commented on how clear & confident I was, and I am so happy to have this weight off my shoulders now that I know I can present well to large groups. This was the best investment in myself that I have ever made and I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat.
