Family Constellations
What is Constellation Work?
This work provides a short but effective insight into a particular issue or problem in a person’s life. It can be called a ‘brief therapy’ as the issue is usually explored within an hour. It is solution focused. It is experimental and needs to be experienced in order to understand the value of the work.
A constellation is created when people take on or ‘represent‘ elements of your personal story. They might be representing people, things or feelings. The representative doesn't need to know anything about the issue and does not need any preparation. If you are an issue holder then members of the group can represent the people in your issue.
By observing the interplay of these elements the facilitator will untangle complex challenges and work towards the issue holder gaining new insights. This can lead to a resolution of the issue. We aim to manage this in 40-50 mins. The issue holder usually feels better when there has been some movement or an insight into their issue. A constellation one-day workshop will involve exploring about four issues.
This approach perfectly dovetails with longer-term counselling or coaching, where a person needs a new perspective on the issue that they are exploring with their coach or counsellor. They may feel 'stuck'. People who are working alone on resolving issues often appreciate seeing their situation from another perspective too. This can move them into a new phase.
The facilitator needs to create a very safe, confidential, spiritually strong space for the work to happen. There is an element of the sacred in this work.
Often individuals are acting from an unconscious sense of loyalty to an earlier family member. The facilitator can untangle these loyalties and will help the issue holder to move towards a greater sense of freedom.

Past Constellation Feedback
Oct 2018:
"I wanted to say I enjoyed your session and meeting other people in the group. It was amazing how we all helped mold the scenarios and got encapsulated in the moment.
The upliftment energy in the room was amazing and at times I felt I was in the situation to help.
Overall, my experience for attending this first time was amazing. I look forward to future sessions and the venue was perfect with plenty of free parking. I would recommend your sessions to friends and family".
Sept 2016: "Saturday was amazing"; I like the venue and the format very much. It's nice to have the shared lunch and the breaks between constellations. The constellations themselves were great, I really liked your striving to keep people in their feelings rather than thoughts."; "Thanks for the workshop today it was enlightening, to say the least."
July 2015: "Thank you SO much for the fabulous workshop you facilitated on Saturday - it was a very helpful practice for me".

"Thank you for the workshop today. I really enjoy it. The first workshop was astonishing and now I read a bit about Family Constellations and understand it better I felt more aware in general. I like being a representative."
October 2014:
"I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have been able to attend and participate in the workshop.On coming out, I felt as I was full, like having been fed deep inside.
"Your calm approach, clear explanations and rationale for your strategies are very helpful. The feelings expressed by the representatives are also revealing and offer alternative perceptions without detracting from the original issue. I am always impressed by how immersed and insightful people can be.
