The Therapy Lounge Reviews 459

I consider it a stroke of luck that someone referred me to Kirsten Dahlerup; when I needed a hypnotherapist, and I am writing this review to do the same for someone else. As per my experience, Kristen's has a very professional and empathetic approach. Her gentle, supportive and non-judgmental disposition made it very easy to relax and open up during the sessions Her counseling coupled with the relevant reading materials proved deeply effective and surprisingly powerful. I noticed meaningful shifts in my mindset and behavior within a short period of time—particularly in areas I had struggled with for years.
I would highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for a hypnotherapist to work on personal challenges, reduce stress, or make positive changes in their life.

I've been having sessions with Steve on and off for 5 years. He's more than a therapist, he feels like a genuine mate and for me this makes the sessions so much more impactful. He talks from the heart and provides feedback that is practical, reassuring and valuable. I am likely to continue working with him for many years to come, as he continues to support me in my journey of self improvement.

I had sessions with Kirsten. She is wonderful therapist, helped me tremendously. Whenever I have issues and triggers I know where to contact. Can not thank her enough 😊

Calm gentle and powerful sessions by Kristen Dahlerup. Simple and powerful experience for me. I am so glad I did this therapy

I couldn’t recommend Steve highly enough. He’s a brilliant coach and has been a massive help to me over the last few months. I’d lost my way a bit and with Steve’s guidance I’ve been given practical methods and processes to refocus me.

Straight talking, caring, challenging, supportive.

I’ve been working with Steve for a few months now, and the experience has been transformative. He has helped me unblock myself, get out of my own head, and stop overthinking/caring about what others think. With his guidance, I’ve learned to take control of my mindset and navigate the unpredictable “weather patterns” of my thoughts.

Steve is forthright and strong in his approach, but incredibly effective. He challenges you and provides clarity and structure that actually works. I’m really looking forward to continuing the work, and more importantly, treasuring the habits and tools I’ve developed with him for the rest of my life. Thank you Steve!

Steve is brilliant at what he does and the sessions we had were highly effective with immediate and long lasting impact, thank you Steve! Would highly recommend.

I initially went to see Kirsten for support after my friend was diagnosed with stage four cancer. A year later, I was still struggling to cope emotionally. After just one session, the daily crying stopped and the ongoing sense of dread had gone.

I later continued working with Kirsten for an additional eight hours to address various childhood issues. I had assumed these were things I would simply live with, but through our work together they no longer carry emotional weight. My perspective on the past has shifted, and a long-standing fear of intimacy has resolved. I now journal and meditate regularly, which has contributed to a greater sense of balance and inner peace.

There were also several unexpected positive changes that emerged without being directly addressed in sessions. I no longer experience work-related anxiety, I stopped smoking, stopped biting my nails, and my relationship with time has changed - days no longer feel rushed, and I feel more present and grounded.

I would highly recommend Kirsten. The experience has been life altering. Thank you Kirsten.

Writing this review after 9 days of no vaping!
A lifetime of smoking / vaping is now over with.
Ive had a few "urges" but the session made it really easy to cope with.
Thankyou Steve.

Steve is simply the best coach one could ask for. Experienced, kind and firm. You work hard for great results, but the outcome was so noticeable that my two kids who had no idea I was working with Steve, commented independantly about how much happier I seemed... Highly recommend.

I have tried many psychologists, hypnotherapists and counsellors over the years with little impact. Steve is different, from our first to last session he has had a meaningful and lasting impact on my mental health. He really does go above and beyond and takes a real interest in helping you. I can not recommend him highly enough

Yeah.

This guy is good and exactly what I needed.

Firm, to the point with no BS. Doesn't let you get away with anything but equally warm and fuzzy at the right times.

I'd highly recommend Steve. In a market full of charlatans, he is the real deal.

My experience with Steve at The Therapy Lounge has been nothing short of incredible. He is an incredible coach and a human being, nothing like I have experienced before. I left the Therapy Lounge after 5 sessions including hypnotherapy a very different individual from that when I attended my first session. His skillset as a coach and therapist I have never experienced anything close to before.

Thanks Steve

I cannot recommend Steve enough. He has a wealth of experience and expertise as a coach. The work he does with clients is life changing. His caring, personalised and honest approach is refreshing and effective. If you are willing to put the work in, it will undoubtedly change your life for the better.

I have no words to recommend Steve highly enough. I have been with him for over 10 years and he has been a a massive help to both my professional and personal life. Not only did he quickly understand how my mind operates but he gave me the tools for me to better understand how to make real improvements.

I began my self-development journey about two years ago and was recently recommended to see Kirsten. Over the course of 4 sessions, she created an incredibly caring, welcoming, and safe space that allowed me to open up and explore areas I hadn’t previously questioned. Kirsten is deeply empathetic and perceptive, and she guided each session with a gentle but purposeful approach that made the process both insightful and grounding.

I had never done hypnotherapy before and didn’t really know what to expect, but the experience went far beyond what I could have imagined. She provided me with practical tools to help manage my anxieties and encouraged a deeper level of self-reflection. I left our sessions questioning many aspects of my life — even those I had considered certain — but perhaps that was exactly what I needed at this stage of my journey. I’m very much looking forward to the months ahead, putting into practice everything she’s taught me, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering hypnotherapy.

Before I met Kirsten, I was a little uncertain about the benefits of hypnotherapy but after giving birth and being overwhelmed with all the changes and trauma that post partum brings, I decided to seek some support from Kirsten after a recommendation from a friend. I am SO glad I did. She is sunshine on screen and over 3 sessions, she was able to hugely help to calm my nervous system and begin to uncover some further areas to explore. Kirsten does everything gently and with genuine care for her clients, she makes everything accessible and explains what she is doing and why. I felt totally safe and relaxed. I am looking forward to working with her again. My husband has already become a client too! Thank you, Kirsten!

I had four sessions with Kirsten Dahlerup and she is absolutely amazing. She is very perceptive, empathetic and gentle and she made the process feel very safe and easy. I feel as if I have resolved issues that have been stuck for many years and now at last I have the freedom and understanding to move on. I highly recommend her and only wish I had found her years ago. This healing might have taken two years of talking therapy but it only took four sessions with Kirsten.

I saw Kirsten Dahlerup for work on seasickness in preparation for my English Channel relay swim. I had been very ill on boat practice previously, and tried medications that didn't work. I read a scientific research paper about the benefits of hypnotherapy in treatment of seasickness, and gave it ago!

The results speak for themselves. I was one of the people who were not seasick on the boat. Many other teams had to turn back due to seasickness. For the first time in my life I handled the waves without fear or consequence. In short, it worked!!!

Aside from this, Kirsten's manner and style is so kind, supportive and nourishing. I actually enjoyed our sessions together and had confidence in her and the process, which was justified! She also got me to visualise my success, so I am sure that we did more than just cure me of my terrible seasickness.

Highly recommend!

I’ve previously tried different therapies and therapists over the years but none of them for me personally had a tangible impact on how I viewed things. I can say that Steve really made me have a different perspective on life. He provided me with the tools and materials I needed, which enabled me to work through and improve how I respond to things, and to look at myself in a much healthier way. I’m so grateful for the time I had with Steve and the impact he has had on my life. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
