What are Family Constellations Therapy ?

Family Constellation is a powerful, three-dimensional therapeutic process designed to help uncover and release deep-rooted patterns of suffering, often inherited across generations. It offers profound insight into the unconscious bonds that may be limiting your health, happiness, or relationships—and opens the door to lasting change.

The Work of Bert Hellinger

Developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, who studied families for over 50 years, Family Constellation work is based on the understanding that we can unconsciously take on emotional burdens—such as anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, loneliness, addiction, or even physical illness—as a way of remaining loyal to our family system.

Out of deep love and belonging, a child may unknowingly carry the unresolved pain of a parent or ancestor, sacrificing their own well-being in the process.

Healing the System, Transforming the Self

A Family Constellation session reveals these hidden dynamics and allows us to gently disentangle from them. In just one moment of insight, an entirely new path in life can emerge.

The results can be deeply transformative—opening the way for healthier relationships, emotional freedom, and greater clarity in life.

How a Session Works

Family Constellation can take place in two formats:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Group Workshops

In a group setting (usually a one-day workshop), participants take turns setting up their constellation. With guidance from the facilitator, other group members are intuitively chosen to represent key people or elements involved in the issue. The group holds a container of confidentiality and mutual respect throughout the process.

🧍‍♀️ 1:1 Private Sessions

In individual sessions, small figurines (like Playmobil people) are used to represent family members or key elements. As the facilitator arranges and explores these symbols, subconscious patterns are revealed, providing insight and healing.
