1:1 Constellations
1:1 Constellation & Embodied Presence Sessions
You will be facilitated by Clare through an emergent & embodied mapping
process, which promises to bring profound insight & create space for
resolution and significant, rapid shift.
Typically Constellations are used for family issues, but can also be effectively
applied to any situation in your life - home, workplace, community, society,
systemic - that needs clarity, healing or resolution.
​
​
​
Constellations are perfect for you if
​
there is an issue or challenge in your life for which no
resolution or lasting change can be found,
​
you’ve tried lots of ways to move through the challenge
and nothing seems to work or really get to the nub of things,
you are trying to figure something out and you
just can’t see the wood for the trees.
​
Sound familiar?
​
It's likely there are underlying dynamics impacting the
situation that you are unaware of.
This might come in the form of:
​
Subconscious messaging running in the background scuppering things,
Limiting and unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour holding you to ransom,
The issue originates from personal experience, family dynamic or even ancestral trauma passed down through the generations
Unseen Organisational, Institutional & Systemic forces at play.
Constellations are fantastically good – almost magical – at bringing those impactful
forces that are unseen, hidden or invisible into the light of day. Simply having more
awareness of what these influences are creates space for change.
Yet, in a constellation we are able to go deeper, give voice to those hidden factors,
and release any entanglements, energetic patterning, or places of snag. A new
possibility can then emerge & unfold for you, the situation and all those involved.
​
Key benefits
A more holistic awareness to the issue at hand and the wider context it sits within
Insight into the root cause & underlying (and often hidden) dynamics at play
Uncover & release conflicts, blocks and barriers impacting the situation
Reveal & untangle unconscious patterns of thought, behaviour, emotions
Pave the way for healing, empowerment & a renewed sense of freedom

What exactly is a Constellation?
A Constellation is a facilitated mapping enquiry creating an birds-eye overview of the matter in hand to explore personal, family, community and wider systemic issues. It can reveal hidden patterns & dynamics, bringing brand new insights & fresh perspectives, inspiring avenues for growth. This is an emergent & embodied process which creates space & possibility for significant, rapid shift & change.
​
Developed as a methodology by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger (1925-2019) as Family Constellations in the 1980s. Designed as a method within systemic work to quickly gain insight into the deeper causes of an issue.
​
Systemic work assumes that we are all part of groups and that within those groups and within ourselves we are driven by unconscious patterns and dynamics. A family, but also a class, a sports club, a region, a country, society: they are all systems in themselves.
​
A constellation provides a spatial and visual image of a system. It is certainly not only about people in the system. It is mainly about how our families have dealt with history and how they have survived painful situations. That way of survival of our (ancestors) parents is often the source of patterns. And patterns are often (unconsciously) passed on.
​
In a family constellation you investigate personal questions and patterns within a system with the help of a systemic facilitator. By observing and exploring without judgement, the facilitator tries to make dynamics visible and to create space for a new movement or change.
​
The same principles and the methodology developed by Bert Hellinger are used for questions and systems beyond the family, beyond the personal into community, collective, societal & systemic issues. They can be done on a 1:1 basis as well as in group settings.
What a session looks like
You are invited to make visual maps of the issue and the context within which they sit.
You are guided to observe & reflect on these maps from the eagle-eye view
We'll use creative experimentation & embodied presence - your bodily & intuitive knowing - as a compass to navigate the issue & come to some sort of resolution.
I use gentle enquiry, compassionate curiosity & hold a strong container to support you

TESTIMONIAL
Clare has facilitated 3 family constellations sessions for me with a focus on unpicking old patterns of how I relate to my daughter. She always holds a safe space, beautifully and carefully. Clare allows my ideas and realisations to unfold, assists me in finding my own solutions in a creative and often somatic way. As a result of these sessions, I am able to mother with less triggers and more honesty. I highly recommend her work.
