Question 1

Which session is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is for a longer process, open ended, and constellations can be part of it. A constellation is for a specific issue, or a topic you want to explore, and it may take more than one session. Sound therapy is for working with the body directly, over a set number of weeks. If you’re between two of them, ask us.

Question 2

What if I don’t know where to start?

Accepted Answer

That’s a normal place to begin, and not something to work out before you write. You’re welcome to send a question rather than an account of your situation, and we’ll answer it. If another practice would suit you better, we’ll say so.

Question 3

Is this therapy?

Accepted Answer

All three are therapeutic, and one of them is therapy in the formal sense: Cecilia is a therapist and her therapy sessions are her clinical work. What really differs is what holds the work together. In therapy it is the relationship, and it stays open ended. In a constellation it is the question you bring. In sound therapy it is the protocol, which runs to its own length. All three have follow-up, and none of them is one and done.

Question 4

Can I come if I am already seeing a therapist?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and many people do. A constellation fits alongside ongoing therapy rather than competing with it, and it’s often most useful when there is already somewhere to take what it opens up. Tell your therapist you’re doing it, and tell us they exist.

Question 5

Do I need a diagnosis or a referral?

Accepted Answer

No. Neither is needed for anything we offer, and you don’t need to be in crisis to come.

Question 6

Can I change to a different kind of session later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nothing you book commits you to a path, and people move between them as what they need becomes clearer.

Question 7

Will I have to talk about everything?

Accepted Answer

No. You share what you choose to share. The work doesn’t need every detail to move, and your practitioner won’t push past what feels right to you.

Question 8

What if I cry?

Accepted Answer

Then you cry. Feeling something in a session is normal and welcome, and your practitioner holds it calmly. We close every session gently, with time for things to settle before you leave.

Question 9

What if nothing happens?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes a session is quiet, and the movement comes later, in the days after. And sometimes the honest answer is that this isn’t the right approach for your question. If we think so, we’ll say so. You’re never locked into a course.

Question 10

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Some people come for one piece of work; others return over time. There is no set course. You decide as you go.

Question 11

How long is a session?

Accepted Answer

Fifty minutes, and that is the standard across the practice whoever you work with. Sound therapy is the exception, because it runs as short listening sessions at home over several weeks rather than as one appointment.

Question 12

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices differ by the kind of session and by the practitioner, so each one carries its own. Choose a practitioner and the price is shown before you book anything.

Question 13

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

When your session is arranged you choose. Pay now, and you follow a payment link and settle it there. Or pay later, and the payment instructions come to you by email afterwards. Payment is by bank transfer, and if you’re outside the EU you can pay by card instead, which carries a 4% surcharge.

Question 14

Will my insurance or my mutuality pay any of this back?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. Belgian mutualities don’t reimburse family constellations, and in most cases they don’t reimburse therapy sessions either. Some international insurers do cover therapy, so if your cover is private or international it’s worth asking them what they include before you start.

Question 15

Can I book a particular practitioner?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and naming them when you write is the quickest way. You choose the person rather than being assigned whoever is free, and we arrange the time with them from there.

Question 16

What if the practitioner I want has a waiting list?

Accepted Answer

You can join it, and their card says so plainly rather than hiding it behind an enquiry. If you’d rather start sooner, say so and we’ll tell you honestly who else does that work.

Question 17

What if I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel or move a session up to 48 hours before it starts, and we refund the full fee. Inside 48 hours the fee is due, because the hour was held for you and cannot be offered to anyone else at that notice.

Question 18

Can I get an invoice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for every session, and it’s issued automatically. If you need particular details on it, tell us before the session rather than after.

Question 19

Which languages can I work in?

Accepted Answer

Across the practice: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and Romanian. Each practitioner's own languages are on their card, and we work in your first language wherever we can, because the words for this live there.

Question 20

Do you work in my time zone?

Accepted Answer

We’re in Brussels, and for private sessions we set the hour to suit you rather than us. Working across time zones is ordinary here rather than a favour.

Question 21

What do I need for an online session?

Accepted Answer

A device with a camera, a steady connection, headphones if you have them, and somewhere you will not be interrupted for the hour. Nothing to install beyond what you already use.

Question 22

Where are you in Brussels?

Accepted Answer

Boulevard Charlemagne 28, 1000 Brussels, a short walk from Schuman. In-person sessions are by arrangement; most of the practice works online.
