Family Constellations

Many individuals experience emotional, psychological, behavioural and physical issues and challenges that impact their relationships.

Many individuals experience emotional, psychological, behavioural and physical issues and challenges that impact their relationships. These are often influenced by family dynamics both in the present and across generations – existing before our time. Unresolved traumatic events and critical life events from the past can impact family members over generations. These lingering patterns in our family system are often unconscious. They may not have begun with us but we have the option to end them with us. 

Family Constellations is a type of ancestral healing which can reveal hidden dynamics within families and relationships. By addressing and releasing the original disturbance or issue, healing can occur. Family constellations offers us insights into the hidden dynamic of our family system and provides healing for personal and family difficulties in a creative manner. 

This is explored in a safe and confidential group process, through which we can recognise why we are how we are. Group participants represent family systems and issues throughout the course of the transformative process, facilitated by the family constellations therapist. 

Family Constellations work can help to: give insights into what’s actually being played out in the family system, release toxic patterns, provide relief from intergenerational trauma, and bring harmony to your relationships.

Work Experience

Joanne has worked in both public and private psychotherapy practice as a student and graduate psychotherapist. She works in a humanistic integrative way, focusing on the client and their potential for growth and self-integration. Methods are adapted based on the client’s needs and what they bring to the room, as opposed to using one fixed method. Joanne has experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, identity issues, trauma, addiction, family systems, abuse, and relationship problems.

Underpinning Philosophy

Although trained in a humanistic manner, Joanne pulls from the integrative elements of her training quite frequently by using methods from psychodynamic, gestalt and existential therapies.
