The Lounge at Home · Six weeks · Opens 8 November 2026
The work, at your own table. One move a week.
Six weeks: one to pull up a chair, then the five moves I use in the room, one a week. For when a session is not the right next step yet, or not the only one. Read together. Try one small thing. Write on your own. Then talk.
Founding price: A$245 for the first 100 relationships, or until 31 January, whichever comes first. Then A$295.
Made by Lauren Lynch (she/her), AMHSW · Gottman Method Level 2 · informed by Esther Perel's work · a queer led practice.
pull up a chair
The six weeks
One move a week, in the order they happen.
Every relationship has a miss: the moment one of you reaches and it does not quite land. The six weeks follow that moment from the first second to the reach that repairs it.
Pull up a chair
Sit on the same side of the table, and name your miss.
Notice what arrived
Slow the first second down, before the reaction.
Name what took over
Give the protective move a name, and get the wheel back.
Pause without disappearing
Stop, say why, and say when you will come back.
Find a way back to yourself
Know what brings you home to your own body.
Reach again
Small, specific, and handing something over.
By week six you have a shared way to catch the miss and come back from it, in your own words. Each week holds:
- A short reading to do together, ten minutes at most.
- One Lounge Method card: the moment, the question, and what an answer could sound like.
- One small thing to try that week, and a tick for each of you when you have.
- Two unfinished sentences each of you completes alone, before you read each other's.
- One question you answer together.
At the end you have one page, made only of the answers each of you chose to share. Keep it, or bring it to a session.

Where your answers go: nowhere.
Everything you write stays in the browser on the device you use. Nothing you write is sent to me or to anyone else. There is no ad tracking on the programme, and there never will be.
If you share a device, there is one button to clear it all. Queer people have had enough of their lives turned into data. This is a room, not a database.

Good questions
Before you start, honest answers.
Is this therapy?
No. It is a programme built on the same five moves I use in sessions, and it works on its own, before sessions, between them, or while you decide whether you want them. It does not replace therapy.
Can three or more of us do it?
Yes. Up to four people can use it together, and each person writes their own answers before anyone reads them.
Do we need to use the same device?
Yes. The programme lives in one browser on one device, so choose the one you will sit down together with. A laptop or tablet works best. Each of you writes your own lines, then you read them together.
Is it for adults?
Yes. Everyone using it together needs to be 18 or over.
Where do our answers go?
Nowhere. Everything you write stays in the browser on the device you use. Nothing you write is sent to me or anyone else, and there is no ad tracking on the programme. If you share a device, clear it when you are done.
Can we claim it?
No. Medicare and private health do not cover relationship programmes. The price includes GST, because a programme is not a session.
What if it is not right for us?
Write to me at lovelounge@queerlovelounge.com.au within 30 days of buying and I will refund you in full. No reasons needed.
Who is it not for?
Relationships where someone is afraid of another person in it, or is not free to make their own choices. If that is you, 1800RESPECT is on 1800 737 732, any time.
