I am available for private consultation sessions in Bristol and London. For details of the next time I am in London click here. I work with individuals, couples and families. I don’t do phone constellations sessions. I am, however, willing to talk on the phone to answer questions or discuss something relevant.
We all have our own pace and rhythm in relation to personal change and healing, and a flexible, open-ended contract honours this. Therefore sessions are spaced out according to the individual’s requirements. For some it may be that one session is enough for what they want at the time, but others may require some holding over time to explore the more difficult and painful issues. Since much of my work now addresses trauma issues, whether personally experienced or the inherited effects of systemic trauma, it is often the case that a series of sessions is required over a period of time. This can be discussed at our first session. You can read more about working with trauma here.
I am very happy to work with people who are already in therapy. Since I am not working with the therapist/client relationship as the crucible for change, I see my work as compatible with a conventional psychotherapy or counselling contract, which can provide a valuable forum for integration of what emerges in the constellations session. It has proved helpful to work in this collaborative way, and I completely respect the primary therapeutic relationship.
Some therapists have found that a constellation session can provide an important shift in their work with their client and from time to time suggest such a referral to their client. If you are a therapist and would like to discuss this please contact me.
Session Details
Individuals: If this is your first time working with Constellations and with me I would suggest that you book in for two hours for your first session, thereafter 1.5 hours is usually enough.
Couples: Sessions are always for 2 hours
