Our Approach
Family Balance NZ takes a holistic approach to healing—honouring both the present family system and the generations that came before. We believe that when the past is acknowledged, it can transform the present and open space for a more balanced future.
Each constellation is tailored to the individual or family, using representatives or symbolic objects to bring hidden dynamics to light. Our facilitators draw on diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, combining Family Constellation Therapy with practices from counselling, mindfulness, and trauma-informed work.
Beyond individual sessions, we offer workshops and retreats that create supportive spaces for deeper exploration and connection. We also provide gentle post-session guidance to help clients integrate their experiences into daily life.
Family Balance NZ is more than a practice—it’s a growing community dedicated to shared healing, understanding, and connection across generations.
Why we do this work
Family Constellation Therapy has transformed our own lives. Our mission is to create spaces where others can feel safe, seen, and supported on their journey.
