How the practice works online
Working online, in practice
This is the practical side of working online: what you need, and what to expect before a session starts, whether you come for family constellations, therapy or listening therapy.
What you need
Nothing beyond a browser
Working online here has never meant learning new software.
A Google Meet link, sent ahead
Just a browser, nothing to install
Headphones, optional
A quiet hour where you won’t be interrupted
Before a session
Setting up your space
The link is the easy part. What makes an online session work is the room you sit in: five small things, none of them technical.
A private space, where you can speak freely
Tissues within reach, just in case
Something to drink
Somewhere you can sit comfortably
Phone on silent, notifications off
Whichever service
The same online setting, three ways of using it
Therapy, constellations and listening therapy all run online the same practical way. What differs is what happens in the session, not the setting.
Therapy
A session by video, held the same way it would be in the room. Your facilitator, your hour, your pace. Read about therapy →
Constellations
A dedicated online constellation space, where figures are placed and moved on screen, or held simply in your mind’s eye. What carries it is the felt sense of where people stand in relation to you, and that comes through a screen. Read about constellations →
Listening therapy
A listening programme you follow at home, through over-ear headphones, in short daily sessions, between check-ins with your practitioner. It asks for your full attention: a quiet moment you sit down for, undisturbed. Read about listening therapy →
Not new to this
The practice has run sessions online since 2010, long before it became the ordinary way to meet. Across the team, work happens in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French and Romanian, timed to whichever time zone you are in.
