Find peace within yourself, feel inner balance. In online sessions we work with blocked emotions, inherited patterns and family dynamics. The techniques will help you understand yourself better and come to greater stability and balance.
We use Body-Oriented elements of Somatics together with the palette of tools of Systemic Family Constellations.
Focus On the Body
During sessions we are in touch with sensations and feelings. Confronting difficult experiences does not become overwhelming. In turn, techniques of Family Constellations allow access to the deeper layers. To what lies behind a particular repetitive reaction or a difficulty of some kind.
Added Dimension: Family Constellation Tools
Sessions may resemble a Constellation work unfolding in the space between the client and the practitioner. The practitioner serves as a mirror to the experiences of a client. We know from Family Systemic Constellations that it is possible to feel what a person, a family member, or a larger figure has to feel. In the practice of Constellations it is called representation. The representative somehow expresses, conveys the content that is related to a chosen figure. In online sessions we use representation as the means to connect to what stands behind our habitual view of an issue or a problem. This tool allows to work both on personal and systemic levels (related to a family, ancestors, or collective).
The quality of life without his wonderful help would have been much lower. When you heal from past, you gain extra capacity to achieve important results for your present and future, and this is one of the most precious effects of his work.

What Tasks Can Be Addressed
Repetitive patterns or recurrent events
E.g. “with all of my partners it ended the same way”, “I can never avoid this with my mother”. Sometimes in this work we find that repetitions are a way that our memory chooses to “remember” a particular past context, often traumatic. Reprocessing it, bringing it into consciousness often releases, ends the pattern.
Difficulty processing emotions
“I’d rather not feel” – this can be heard when circumstances seem to be overwhelming. Shutting down or detaching seems to be the only solution.
Energy loss
Sometimes it feels as if the body is never fully alive. Perception of the outside world as well as inner space – feelings, emotions turn blank or unimportant
Aches and pains
By means of Family Systemic Constellations we see or discern into what often lays behind the symptom. Sometimes an unresolved conflict or situation from the past, a loyalty to someone or a difficult event of interpersonal nature.
Self acceptance
A typical trauma response often manifests by never feeling sufficiently good.
“I am not qualified enough for that position”, “this person will never see me as equal”. Within the framework of online sessions we transform the pattern by finding the source of it – a situation or a context. Gradually we are reprocessing it on the level of the body
Lacking sense of presence
“Physically I’m here, but internally I’m sometimes in a completely different place.”
As a consequence of trauma we often lose the capacity to be present or open with other people
Inability to sustain positive contact with others
“It’s as if I cannot open my heart – feels like too much even before I begin”. Working on a problem of this sort often points at difficult situations in the past. Circumstances where a significant other person was not there for us
Body as a Mirror of Our Family System
From the work of Bert Hellinger and other major masters we know that our body reflects the situation in our family system. Elements of Constellation work allow us to see the sources of symptoms and difficulties on a bodily level. At the same time, somatic work with a focus on the state of the body makes it easier to process and integrate the changes.
Timing and Setting
Sessions are 70 minutes long. The client needs a place with possibly no distractions by external noise or other people’s presence. It’s best to participate in sitting position, lying down on a sofa or bed should be avoided during sessions.
Preferred option for a communication device to use during sessions would be something with a relatively large screen (tablet or computer), however joining from a smartphone is quite possible, too. You will receive a link to enter the session to the email address you provide at the time of booking. The system allows to check the quality of communication, sound and video at any time before the session.
Client – Therapist Relations
Session is a safe space to deal with all sorts of experiences including difficult or what is seen as clearly negative. The process requires trust between client and therapist and does not rely on any kind of pressure. Relations are necessarily open and transparent. Every step has to be accepted by both sides.
