What might become visible if you approached your history without judgement?
Systemic Constellations are a phenomenological method for exploring relational and systemic dynamics that may not be immediately accessible through reflection or dialogue alone. At times, despite insight, effort or therapy, something remains stuck. A pattern repeats. A conflict persists. A decision feels unclear. In such moments, it may be necessary to widen the lens.
Each of us belongs to multiple systems -family of origin, current relationships, professional environments, cultural contexts. Often what we experience as personal difficulty is connected to dynamics within these wider relational fields. Constellations offer a way of making these structures visible.
Through spatial representation, key elements of your question are positioned in the room, forming a living map of the relational dynamic. This configuration often reveals hidden loyalties, entanglements, exclusions or imbalances that are shaping the situation.
When the structure becomes visible, a different positioning becomes possible. A constellation may be a focused one-off session around a specific issue, or part of a broader therapeutic process.
What can Systemic Constellations help with? Constellations can be helpful when you are experiencing:
Repeated relationship conflicts
Emotional patterns that feel disproportionate or difficult to shift
Family ruptures, secrets or exclusions
Bereavement, loss or unresolved grief
Adoption, miscarriage or complex family history
Illness, trauma or accidents
Addictions or compulsive behaviours
Difficulty committing or separating
A persistent sense of being “stuck”
Important life or career decisions
The work does not replace psychotherapy, but can complement ongoing therapeutic, spiritual or developmental processes.
What happens in a Constellation Workshop? A workshop provides a confidential group setting in which participants can explore personal themes. The person working is referred to as the issue-holder. Other participants are invited to serve as representatives, embodying elements of the issue - individuals, roles, emotions or abstract concepts. With guidance, the issue-holder positions the representatives in space, creating a constellation: a living relational map. What emerges is often different from our mental narratives or family stories. From this configuration, hidden dynamics can become visible, allowing for a shift in perspective and positioning. Many participants report that even witnessing or representing in another person’s constellation brings unexpected insight into their own lives. The work is conducted with care and containment, without dramatization.
One-to-One Constellations For those who prefer a private setting, individual constellations are available. Using objects, floor markers or spatial positioning, we explore the systemic structure in a focused way. This format can be particularly helpful for specific questions, sensitive themes, or when group participation is not suitable.
Do I need prior experience? No prior knowledge or experience is required. Both newcomers and experienced participants are welcome. The process is carefully guided and explained throughout.
Origins and Training The constellation method was developed by Bert Hellinger and has evolved through systemic and organizational applications.
Training & Professional Development I trained in Family Constellations in Germany at the Hellinger Institute and in London at the Centre for Systemic Constellations, and have continued my development with senior practitioners in the field.
My formation in Systemic Constellations includes intensive training in individual, couples and organisational applications.
