Systemic Family Constellations & Coaching
“What we reject or push away only gains power over us. True healing begins when we first see and acknowledge what belongs to our system.”
— René Gronwald
Sometimes we find ourselves in situations we don’t know how to change. The same patterns keep coming back, we feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure which way to go – in our lives, our relationships or our families.
In my work, I create a space to look at what is happening beneath the surface – with openness, curiosity and without judgement.
Through Family Constellations and coaching, I support people in understanding what may be behind the challenges they are facing and in finding their own way forward.
What We Can Do Together
Family Constellations
Family Constellations can help us look at patterns and dynamics that are difficult to understand through thinking alone.
Together, we can explore recurring patterns in your life, difficulties in relationships or within your family, feelings of not belonging, unresolved conflicts, difficult decisions, or emotions that seem hard to explain.
We can also look at what you may be carrying from your family system – experiences, roles or responsibilities that might not be yours, but still affect your life today.
The aim is not to get rid of what is difficult, but to see and acknowledge what is there. From there, something new can begin to move.
Coaching for Youth & Parents
Family life and growing up can bring strong emotions, conflict and moments when it feels difficult to understand each other – or even ourselves.
Together, we can look at what is happening underneath the surface: recurring conflicts, difficulties with communication, boundaries, feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed or disconnected, and the emotions that come with it.
Anger has a place here too. I don't believe anger needs to be suppressed or pushed away. It needs space to be felt, understood and expressed in a way that is safe and constructive – without hurting yourself or others.
Whether I work with a teenager, a parent or both, the aim is not to decide who is right or wrong. It is to create more understanding, find new ways of communicating and relating, and explore what each person needs to move forward.
For 14 years, I worked as a social worker with teenagers and families in challenging life situations. This experience taught me a lot about people, relationships and family dynamics – but also that there are rarely simple answers to complex situations.
Today, I combine this experience with my training in Systemic Family Constellations and coaching. I work with openness, honesty and without judgement, creating a space where you can bring what is there – even when it feels difficult, messy or hard to put into words.
I don't believe in telling you what to do. I believe in looking together, understanding what is underneath, and supporting you in finding your own way forward.

You don’t need to know where to start.
Maybe you already know exactly what you would like to look at. Or maybe you only know that something in your life or family doesn't feel right.
Both are enough.
