I have borrowed the words of four fellow constellators to introduce the work in a more succinct manner than I have yet managed!
"Systemic Constellation is a powerful therapeutic methodology for exploring and resolving issues across a wide spectrum of applications such as family, relationships, work, friendship, health or creativity.
Modern psychology recognises that many of our challenges do not originate in our own personal history, but instead are rooted and influenced by the experiences of those who came before us. Emergent psychological theories acknowledge that the unresolved traumas of our ancestors can impact us in the here and now and can manifest for example as negative patterns, unhelpful dynamics, limiting behaviour, health problems or feelings of stuckness.
Systemic Constellations is a phenomeological approach that takes these transgenerational elements into account when exploring an issue. This gives the opportunity for deeper and wider exploration of interconnections.
During a constellation, we might use people or floor markers to represent elements of the issue, e.g. a person, an event, a location etc... By using representatives, an interactive live map of the issue emerges through which the issue holder can gain insight into the problem. Resolution is sought first by acknowledging what appears, and then by remedying this with resolving statements or movements until an optimal sense of ease and acceptance is experienced by all participants."

I am an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor and supervisor working in private practice in Aylsham and Norwich. Before becoming a talking therapist, I was an acupuncturist for many years which left me with a deep respect for the language of the body. Eight years ago I discovered the wonder of systemic constellations which seems to combine the best of talking therapy with a more embodied approach.
