Support for your mental wellbeing, clarity and balance
Tranquility Lounge is a dedicated space for adults who want to improve their mental health, reduce emotional overwhelm and regain a sense of balance, without immediately entering therapy. It offers non-clinical, research-informed psychological wellbeing support grounded in compassion, structure and scientific understanding.
Founded by Valentina D. Diaconu, Academic Psychologist, Psychology Lecturer at the University of Northampton, and Mental Wellbeing Practitioner, Tranquility Lounge was created to support people navigating stress, anxiety, emotional overload, work pressure, relationship strain and difficulty switching off. Valentina is in the final stages of completing her PhD in Psychology and is the author of The Science of Happiness: 20 Rules for a Happy Life.
The work at Tranquility Lounge is informed by psychological science and integrates psychoeducation, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural tools, sensory-based practices and guided self-reflection. Sessions are designed to help the nervous system settle, increase emotional awareness and support clearer thinking and inner balance.
This is not therapy and does not involve diagnosis or treatment. Instead, Tranquility Lounge offers first-level, non-clinical psychological support for people who want to understand their mental and emotional patterns, feel calmer in their bodies, and build healthier ways of responding to life’s demands.
Every session is delivered in a calm, non-judgemental environment, with care, clarity and ethical boundaries. The aim is to help you reconnect with your internal resources, reduce emotional overload and support everyday mental wellbeing in a way that feels safe, respectful and empowering.
At Tranquility Lounge, every service is intentionally designed to support mental clarity, emotional balance, and holistic wellbeing. We don’t offer generic wellness trends; we draw from established psychological research, sensory science, and body-based methods to create grounded, effective experiences.
Psychological Tuning is a non-clinical, research-informed wellbeing framework developed by our academic psychologist Valentina D. Diaconu. It brings together psychological insight, guided attention, sensory regulation and psychoeducation to support emotional balance, clarity and self-regulation. Rather than focusing on diagnosis or treatment, Psychological Tuning helps individuals understand and gently recalibrate how stress, emotion and attention interact in everyday life, offering a calm and structured pathway to improved mental wellbeing.
Sound Bath Therapy using Tibetan bowls and gongs engages the parasympathetic nervous system, which can help reduce stress, support deep relaxation, and regulate emotional arousal. Sound frequencies are also being explored for their role in pain relief, particularly through entrainment and vibration-based calming of the nervous system.
Guided meditation and visualisation techniques are informed by mindfulness research and psychological models of attention and self-regulation. These help clients improve emotional awareness, reduce rumination, and support internal clarity.
Mindful eating sessions are based on principles from behavioural psychology and interoception research, helping individuals reconnect with hunger, fullness, and emotional cues around food.
Psychoeducational sessions such as Thought Detox, Breaking the Habit, and sensory-based self-connection rituals draw on cognitive-behavioural strategies, sensory integration methods, and emotional resilience research. They are designed to help individuals shift unhelpful patterns, increase self-awareness, and reconnect with internal resources in a non-clinical, intimate and supportive space.
Mirror Therapy & Grounding Rituals combine visual self-connection with affirmation, self-compassion, and somatic anchoring strategies. Based on techniques used in cognitive and embodiment-based therapies, these sessions help rebuild internal trust, reduce self-critical thinking, and improve emotional regulation.
Couples sessions promote co-regulation and emotional connection, using guided sensory tools (e.g. sound, breathing, grounding exercises) to foster presence, empathy, and safe relational bonding.
