Cecilia Altieri is a therapist and systemic facilitator, practising since 2010. The four practitioners alongside her train facilitators as well as seeing clients. Together they work with individuals, couples and families, in therapy and in constellations, online across time zones in six languages, and in person in Brussels.
Who we work with
Something in your body won’t settle, and nothing quite explains it. A low feeling that has outlasted any reason for it. A loss you can’t set down, or a decision you’re standing in front of.
The same argument from every angle, and it never resolves. A distance neither of you chose. A rupture you want to come back from.
Something in the family nobody talks about. A parent or a sibling you can’t reach. A weight that seems older than you are.
Ordinary things are too much for them. A change at home that landed hardest on them. Something you can see and can’t name.
If we knew how to behave differently, we would.
We read each of these as part of a living system, a family, a history, and look for where the strain actually sits.
How we work
What feels like your problem alone is usually held in place by something wider, your family, your history, the people you belong to. Every kind of work here starts by looking at the system, not only at you inside it.
Some of this happens below words. In a constellation, you set up the system and stand in it. In sound therapy the work goes through the nervous system directly. What your body feels and expresses is information, and we give it space. When you see it, things can start shifting.
Four ways to welcome you
A session, a workshop, sound therapy, or the training. We can help you find the right approach.
Private sessions
Individual, couple and family therapy, your own constellation, or sound therapy. You choose the kind of session and the practitioner, and you write to us to arrange it.
Find your practitionerIn a group
A single evening online, or a weekend in Brussels. You can watch other people work before you do your own, and many people do exactly that. No experience needed.
