Inside each of us lives a part that’s curious, playful, present, brave, and full of joy - our inner child.
But over time, life experiences, trauma, and the pressure to 'fit in' can cause that light to dim. We may hide it, silence it, or numb it away… and in doing so, lose touch with one of the most vital parts of who we are.

Your inner child isn’t just a memory - it’s the source of creativity, spontaneity, and emotional truth. When we reconnect with it, healing and transformation become possible.

That’s exactly what I help clients to do through hypnotherapy.
- Heal old emotional wounds
- Restore joy and creativity
- Feel whole, present, and truly alive

In my latest video, I share more about how we lose touch with our inner child - and how you can begin to reconnect with yours.

If you feel that spark calling to you, I’d love to support you. You don’t have to do it alone.

Get in touch to hear more about how I can help.

Warmest wishes

Healthy boundaries are the foundation of respectful, connected relationships.

Setting boundaries is how you teach others to love and respect the real you. Without them, you risk losing yourself trying to meet everyone else's expectations, needs, or moods. Boundaries protect your mental and emotional resources — and in doing so, they allow your relationships to thrive in a space of mutual respect.

You are not an all-you-can-eat buffet. You’re a curated menu — you choose what’s on offer and when.

Ever wondered what hypnosis actually is? And yes, I finally answer the age-old question: “Can you make me cluck like a chicken?”(Hint: only if you really want to.)

Hypnosis isn’t mind control. Despite the stage-show myths, hypnosis isn’t about losing control or clucking like a chicken. It’s a natural, focused state of awareness.

If you’d like to know more, than then this video is a good place to start. 💜Kirsten

Are you in love - or caught in a trauma bond?

If relationship drama feels exciting and stability feels boring, then this is for you.

Sometimes what feels like intense love is actually something deeper - and more painful. Feeling hooked on someone, yet anxious, perhaps even walking on eggshells or losing one’s sense of self is not love..
In our latest blog/vlog I explore how unresolved childhood wounds can shape the relationships we’re drawn to - and how to break free from confusing chaos for real connection.

💔 Learn the signs of trauma bonding
💡 Discover what healthy love actually feels like
🛠️ Explore how hypnotherapy can help shift deep emotional patterns.

Because love shouldn’t feel like losing yourself — it should feel like coming home to who you truly are.

We Are Excited To Share Something New!

We are creating a new series of blogs and vlogs where we explore all sorts of topics around emotional health and wellbeing.

Our hope? That these little nuggets help you think better, feel better, and be better. Or to put it another way —to smile more and frown less!

Introducing Beauty & The Beast : Two Very Different Personalities With Very Different Styles.

Even though we have run The Therapy Lounge for over twenty years, it occurred to us that most of our clients have only ever met and worked with one of us.

So in this first video, we wanted to briefly introduce ourselves in a fun way and give you a sense of the differences that make us a great therapeutic team.

You might notice that one of us looks like, acts and sounds like a therapist whereas the other..... not so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed making this video and hope you enjoy watching.

If you have any requests for any future subjects you'd like us to cover, please do let us know and it will be our pleasure to respond accordingly.

Warm wishes
Steve & Kirsten
