Systemic Constellations
Heather is trained in systemic coaching and family constellation work and offers one-to-one sessions and constellation workshops live and online.
A constellation is a useful way to explore the hidden dynamics in both organisational systems and families and to work with difficult relationship issues. Constellation work originates from the pioneering work of Bert Hellinger in the 1970's.
All systems, whether family or organisational, are striving to stay in balance. The need to belong is core to any system, and there are unspoken rules to protect that belonging. When someone is excluded from the family system or made redundant in an organisation without any acknowledgement of their contribution, this has a ripple effect throughout the whole system.
Heather also works with Five Elements constellations, which come from oriental medicine. The 5 elements of Fire, Earth, Water, Metal and Wood each represent different aspects of the Self. They show us what is out of balance and needs attention. This is a deep intra-psychic way of working.
How I work with constellations
A constellation approach is useful when you feel stuck with a relationship issue or situation that seems impossible to resolve. You may also be aware of repeating patterns in your family or organisation that are unhealthy.
We begin by exploring the situation and finding a core question, e.g. “Where is my place in this team or family?” Or "How do I resolve this difficult dynamic?"
We then make a 'living map ' of the key elements and explore the map. This way of working often leads to fresh insights and new understanding. We begin to find ways to bring more balance and flow into the system. There is now potential for movement to happen.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Heather’s sessions are always powerful, whether we have worked with Logosynthesis, constellations or a combination of both. Heather brings an insightful, warm presence and a willingness to explore outside of ‘normal’ which I appreciate. She is not afraid to challenge but mostly holds a calm, reassuring space of nurturance that allows change to emerge naturally. I highly recommend her as someone who will support any kind of transformational work.“

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“The systemic coaching approach has been invaluable to me as a diagnostic tool, enabling me to ‘unpack’ the complexity of the dynamics at play within my organisation and identify what might be a useful next step.”

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“I’ve had three sessions with Heather and I have been astounded by the process. I have learnt a lot about myself and my relationships within my (birth) family. I have been able to do more healing around the traumatic experiences. Throughout, Heather has accompanied me with a gentle presence so I really felt heard, and seen. The Five Elements brought up exactly what was present, and Heather accompanied me to healing with expertise and compassion. I felt much lighter after each session, I had let go of some heavy baggage.”
