Constellations work is based on the principle that each and every soul has a place, and belongs, no matter who they are, and what they have done.
This work offers a creative, somatic approach that explores and shifts difficult and complex issues that might be persistently impacting your life. At its heart, it's about bringing into awareness what we're carrying that was never really ours to carry - things that belong to the past, to the wider family, not (solely or at all) to us as individuals. I currently offer in-person and online 1:1 sessions, with workshops soon to come!
One off Sessions - book as and when needed.

For anyone interested in exploring a wide array of issues in life. We align our intention for the duration of the session by clarifying the concern or area you wish to focus on, and your hoped-for outcome. Clients say that at the end of a session they feel lighter, calmer, and clearer, and experience a sense of relief; shedding light on events, even when they might have been painful or upsetting, which leads to an inner sense of peace, compassion, and freedom.
For our first time working together, I offer a free 20-minute connecting call to decide if we are a good fit. Book a call or session via the link below.

We’ll work with the space you have. Privacy is more important than size.
I find that placing objects in the room and being able to move around them with your whole body - closer/further away, and to change your orientation- encourages a wider perspective. By moving your whole body, rather than small objects/figures on a tabletop with your hands, you are engaging more neurons, allowing for a fuller multilayered experience.
-
The concentration required when working online can be impactful in a different way than when we are in the same room together. For this reason, I aim for 75 minutes, and if it seems we need 5-10 minutes longer, I’ll check in towards the end of a session to see if that’s possible/wanted. In-person sessions end at the agreed time because I am hiring the room we work in. Allowing for 90 minutes offers a spaciousness that I value.

Once I have enough information about the issue and a sense of your hoped-for outcome, I invite you to choose some objects that are in the room you’re in to physically represent different aspects of the issue you are bringing. The objects can be random and not necessarily ‘meaningful’ to you; small and simple works well.
These aspects might be people, alive or dead, or symptoms, for example. You place the objects in different areas in the room, and then, according to what unfolds within you, the objects might be moved closer and further apart, perhaps changing their direction - just like people would if we were working in a group context. Because everyone ‘receives information’ differently - some people see, others sense or notice sensations - anything you share is relevant. I guide the session responsively with you. Rather than looking for resolution of an issue, I aim for a different perspective, and a sense of alignment with a movement forward.
Everyone connected to a family system carries a piece of its unhealed trauma, whether they realise it or not. To think systemically means looking beyond the individual, and seeing the wider web we're all part of. The past isn't simply behind us - if something remains unresolved, it stays alive in the present.
Book a series of sessions - for a deeper exploration.
(In-person/75 mins, online/90 mins. Sliding Scale £170-£95)
Sometimes you might get to the end of a session, and it feels like something is just beginning to unfold. Or, as one issue shifts, something different comes to the foreground.
You might decide that a series of sessions would be beneficial. Especially if we are engaging with a topic that holds some intensity for you, this allows us to pace the sessions and for deeper layers to surface in a spacious and timely way. The valuable space between sessions allows you to notice and feed back information to be included the following time we meet.
Sessions are approximately 3-4 weeks apart, allowing time for inner and outer movement and integration. There is a 10% discount when booking a series of 3 or more sessions. Be in touch to book a call or session via the link below

We’ll recontract. For example, if 3 sessions have been booked, at the end of the second session I’ll ask you to reflect on whether you'd like to book more, so that we know if the third session needs to include time for completion. Some people like to book each session as they go rather than a series. Flexibility and clarity are provided.

One-to-one sessions are scheduled over a number of weeks and months. A ‘Just Me’ Retreat is an immersive experience where you’ll work with me intensively over a few days. Sessions are 120 minutes long, allowing time for meditation, bodywork, and extensive attention to detail. You enter a bubble of care where all the details are taken care of so you can drop through layers to reveal something new and frequently surprising.

Family stories get passed down through generations, often without us realising it - and many of the struggles we carry today have roots that go deep into the unconscious patterns of our wider family systems.
“Deborah enters this work with impeccable care and precision, providing the depth and sensitivity that my nervous system needs to open up and trust. A deeply healing constellation!”
“The constellations we worked through (during my ‘Just Me’ Retreat) were genuinely powerful, and I’m already starting to see some of those shifts play out in real ways. I want to say clearly that Deborah is an outstanding facilitator - she brings the clarity, kindness, and heart that this kind of deep, delicate work truly calls for.”
"Healing occurs when a single person in a system has the freedom and courage to open their hearts."
— Stephan Hausner
FAQs about Constellation Work
-
Online via Zoom or in person in Findhorn, Scotland. Sessions can take place inside or in nature.

Deborah is a multi-disciplinary practitioner, weaving 35+ years of training and life experience into her work. If you are booking a constellation session, this will be in the foreground of her approach. You’ll probably get up and include the environment you're in, not just place objects on a tabletop/the floor, which is more common. Her knowledge of the body and the information it gives, even subtly, is easily picked up, even via Zoom.
During a one-to-one movement session, music might be used to accompany your inner process, and the focus is more on what your body is communicating, and feelings and thoughts that are surfacing, with Deborah’s systemic lens further in the background.

I have extensive experience working online with people who are feeling their feelings; I welcome the fullness of your experience. If anything feels too intense or unsettling for you, we’ll pause, slow things down, and reevaluate the priority for the session. Working within an environment where your nervous system feels safe is essential for our work together. This is where my decades of experience as a somatically trained practitioner come in handy!
