Family Constellations
Unresolved family issues holding you back?
​
Family Constellations is a powerful therapeutic approach that reveals hidden family dynamics, ancestral patterns, and unconscious entanglements that can influence your relationships, health and sense of wellbeing, often across multiple generations.
With Family Constellation Therapy, these unseen patterns are gently brought into awareness so they can be acknowledged, healed and released, creating space for new possibilities.
Systemic Family Constellation Therapy for Deep Ancestral Healing
What is Family Constellation Therapy?
​
A therapeutic approach that attempts to reveal unrecognised dynamics that span multiple generations in a family and to resolve its effects by encountering the past, accept and heal.
​
​We explore what is behind a specific issue in your life.
Some of the struggles and traumas are related to unseen entanglements from our ancestors and systems.
​
Family Constellation Therapy works by:
-
Revealing hidden family dynamics and entanglements
-
Bringing awareness to unconscious patterns affecting your life
-
Restoring balance and flow within the family system
-
Supporting emotional, relational, and spiritual healing
"My experience of Family Constellations with Brian was truly transformational. He has such a skill of holding space and being with you, as confronting energies and emotions are externalised for you to witness and process. I found it so healing to be able to experience how so many parts of my life were connected, and had the opportunity to let go of darkness I was carrying that I didnʼt need to be holding anymore. I truly recommend the experience to anyone wanting to release their grasp on the past and move forward into the future feeling more light and centred."

Are you struggling with unresolved family and relationship issues that seem to affect your family relationships and overall well-being?
In this powerful and transformative process, we will explore the hidden dynamics and unconscious patterns that run in your family system.
By bringing awareness to these patterns, we can begin to break the cycle of pain and suffering brought about by family conflict. The outcome of these therapy sessions create new possibilities for healing and growth.
​
This is an opportunity for you to gain new insights and understanding of yourself and your family. Client's often find peace and resolution and the beginnings of a healthy relationship with family.

Each of us belongs to a family system extending over several generations. When the family system is balanced, the individuals within it can receive the generational flow of love from those who came before them. They can also pass it on to those who follow.
Families can only function harmoniously in this way when each family member belonging to the system has an equally valued and respected place within it.
​
Disturbances to the natural flow of love within a family can result from various situations and events.
When an individual is “tied up” in the fate or business of another member of the extended family, we describe it as being entangled, or entanglement. When entanglement occurs, it results in difficulties and suffering which may affect many generations.
​
These difficulties show up in a variety of ways, such as loneliness, depression, alcohol and drug dependency, suicide, mental or physical illness, recurring accidents, constricting and recurring family patterns, relationship difficulties with parents, partner or children, and inability to achieve true potential.
"Thank you for holding space and offering this powerful healing modality. I had heard that it was amazing and I got to experience it first hand at your last family constellation evening on Tuesday. I loved every moment of the evening, before we even started I could feel the energies and how magical it was going to be. I was captivated by the unfolding of the events and energies and all held beautifully by your supportive, calm and loving facilitation. You could see the difference in peopleʼs energy at the end!! I woke the next morning with a very obvious lightness of mind and body - and I wasnʼt even the main person chosen for the evening. It reinforced for me how when we come together in community we can create healing magic for all. I canʼt wait to join the next one and have recommended it to many people already."
