Niall Campbell brings decades of working with, and healing, ancestral patterns and lines into this Western process of Family Constellations.
Family Constellation work was developed by Germany’s Bert Hellinger, one of Europe’s most innovative and provocative psychotherapists and best-selling author.
Through the process of family constellation, we are brought in touch with the dynamics underlying many of our difficulties. These dynamics often arise from particular configuration within our family of origin and recent ancestry.
In this dynamic process, we are privileged to observe and work with the inner workings of soul and ancestors. Family constellations can assist us in moving through some of our most persistent blockages and help us to come into alignment with our world.
Family Constellation therapy is usually done in a group of 8 to 30 participants.
A person will present an issue to the facilitator, and with the help of some basic family information, the facilitator suggests who the client could set up for their constellation. This is based on a hypothesis that the facilitator has about the origin of the possible family entanglement. Representatives are then chosen by the client for those family members. The spatial positions and bodily sensations of the representatives, give information about the systemic entanglement

More about Constellations
The core premise of Family Constellations is that individuals are deeply influenced by the dynamics and hidden loyalties within their families, often across multiple generations. It suggests that unresolved traumas, unresolved conflicts, or unacknowledged family secrets can have a profound impact on an individual's emotional well-being and behavior.
In a Family Constellations session, a trained facilitator or therapist creates a group setting where participants can explore their family dynamics. Representatives are chosen from the group to stand in as symbolic representations of family members or elements. Through guided exercises and interventions, the constellation unfolds, revealing hidden dynamics and entanglements that may be contributing to the participant's challenges or conflicts.
The goal of Family Constellations is to bring awareness and resolution to these hidden dynamics, allowing individuals to gain insights, find healing, and restore balance within themselves and their family systems. By acknowledging and honoring the inherent order and natural flow within the family, it seeks to restore harmony, love, and understanding among family members.
Family Constellations can be applied to various areas of life, including relationships, personal growth, career, and health. It is often used as a complementary approach alongside traditional therapy or counseling, providing a holistic perspective on personal and systemic issues.
It's important to note that while Family Constellations can be a powerful therapeutic tool for many individuals, it may not be suitable for everyone. It's recommended to work with a qualified and experienced facilitator or therapist who can provide guidance and support throughout the process.
