What weighs on you may be released. In a constellation it gets a place in the room, and your life can flow again. Individual constellations in English; at the monthly group evenings English speakers are welcome.

When something keeps repeating
You sit at your parents' table and after ten minutes you feel twelve again. You talk to your child and suddenly hear your mother's voice. Or in relationships you keep ending up in the same argument, and feel not understood, not seen, not loved.
Usually you have long known where it comes from. But understanding alone is often not enough, because it doesn't sit in your head, but in the field of your family. This is where a constellation starts.
What you carry from your family
Ideally every family has a quiet order: everyone belongs, everyone has their place. Reality often looks different. Children sense this very precisely and, out of love, unconsciously take something on:
- Other people's feelings. The mother's sadness, the father's anger.
- Gaps. A place at the table that stays empty, a sibling who died early.
- The unspoken. A topic nobody talks about, a tension everyone knows.
- Old stories. War, flight, loss, secrets – passed on over generations, even if you never experienced them yourself.
It can feel like weight on your shoulders, tightness in your chest, as if you never quite arrive at yourself.
How a constellation makes visible what is at work in you
People or floor markers stand for your family, for yourself, sometimes also for a feeling, a goal or "the unknown". You place them in the room the way it feels to you right now.
Then something happens that surprises many: whoever stands in a place feels there what that person feels, without ever having met them. Grief, anger or longing, weak knees, the urge to turn away. What you otherwise only feel inside becomes visible outside.
Step by step we look for an image in which it becomes lighter and everyone can move again: someone gets their place back, a long-missing sentence is spoken, a feeling goes back to where it belongs. At the end you stand in your own place and feel whether it is right.
Along the way I work with the muscle test from kinesiology. It helps me make sure that all important elements are in your constellation, which intervention helps, and when it is enough for today. So we follow your system, not a textbook.
Individual constellation in English
You come with a topic that won't let go of you: a relationship, a pattern in your family, a decision that weighs on you. It is just the two of us, and I focus entirely on you.
Instead of representatives we lay out floor markers, and you stand in the places yourself. You feel where it gets tight and where you can breathe. I help you with your blind spots, explain the dynamics behind them and offer interventions where things are stuck.
Some things you feel immediately, others settle in the days after.
- Duration: 90 minutes
- Cost: €120 per hour, i.e. €180 for 90 minutes
- Language: English or German
- Online: possible, then not with floor markers but in a trance in which you meet your ancestors in inner images
Group evenings – and an evening in English?
Once a month, three to six people, an evening in the practice. We begin in a circle, share briefly where we are and breathe together. With the muscle test we find the order of the topics: usually two or three constellations that build on each other like a story. Then music plays, and the representatives follow their impulses. You decide how deep you go: your own topic, a role in someone else's constellation, declining a role, a break. You don't need to bring a topic – you can simply come along as a representative.
The evenings are usually held in German, and English speakers are very welcome. A little German helps, but it isn't a must: I translate into English where needed, so that everyone can follow. And if everyone in the room speaks English, the whole evening can be held in English.
- When: once a month, 6 to 9 pm
- Where: Die Mitte Praxis, Linienstraße 130, 10115 Berlin
- Cost: €120 with your own topic, €60 as a representative

Who works with you
Andreas Weller
“Everything you are has an effect.”
I am a Heilpraktiker for psychotherapy (German licence) with a focus on psychosomatics.
I have been taking part in constellations for over ten years and have been facilitating them myself for several years. Along the way I have developed my own style: I follow what wants to flow in the room and help where it is stuck.
Frequently asked questions
What is a family constellation?
A method from systemic therapy, known above all through Bert Hellinger. Representatives or floor markers stand for people from your family. Their positions and what is felt there reveal relationships and burdens that remain invisible in everyday life. In my practice in Berlin-Mitte I combine this with the kinesiological muscle test.
Can I just take part at first?
Yes. Simply book a place as a representative (€60). Every evening begins with a short round in which everyone says how they are today and what they would or wouldn't like. You don't have to set up a constellation or take on a role.
Does my family have to be there?
No. Your family learns nothing about it. You don't need to know the whole story either – what you don't know often shows itself in the constellation.
What does a family constellation cost in Berlin?
Individual constellation: 90 minutes, €180 (€120 per hour). Group evening: €120 with your own topic, €60 without. I bill privately, not through public health insurance.
