Family Constellations is a ground-breaking methodology for healing trauma and allowing us to have insights into our current challenges, be they personal, family or professional. We can see a new persective by being opened to a much bigger picture. A picture which includes seeing our family as they are, no better or worse, our early childhood experiences and the circumstances that influence us and the impact of our parents’ and ancestors lives too. We can explore deep into the root causes of our behaviours and gain new insights and perspectives which can shift long held patterns.
This unique approach may be supported by talking therapies but does not replace counselling, it offers a unique lens and the possibility of significant shifts where none may have felt possible before.
There is an energy which connects us to each other, and everyone to everyone else, we call this the Field. Using the lens of the Field, a Facilitator can see the connections, where energy is stuck or misplaced and work on restoring harmony, balance and order to your energy and this of course, affects you and your family in positive ways too.
This work can be done individually, online and in group workshops. I work worldwide on Zoom. In person in private sessions in Manchester and Sheffield. And hold workshops in Sheffield, Manchester, London and Somerset. I love being invited to run groups so if you are part of a community, or can gather at least 6 people, please ask.
If you would like to do some work, but are not sure if this is for you, please call for a free 15 minute consultation, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions.

Joanna says “It’s just really moving… to bring something that I’ve been struggling with for so long, and to have it looked at it a way that I’ve never looked at it before.”

Garavavati says “The constellation was really, really powerful… I got what I wanted from it: a deeper sense of freedom and a sense of putting a weight down.”

This season, whilst there is so much trauma and turmoil in the world, we are all carrying our own wounds and may be wondering where to go, or what to do to bring healing and hope into our lives. This workshop is a place to come together and explore emotional, physical, and mental pain using the powerful tools of Family & Systemic Constellations work.
In this group you can come and see and experience for yourself the power of this work. The work is phenomenological – which means we are looking at consciousness through direct and emobodied experiences.
One person is the Issue Holder and everyone else is there as a representative or witness – lending their resources to help explore the issue at hand. What I’ve found over the years of facilitating this work, is that there is ALWAYS an overlap, between your material and that being explored. So, wherever you are in the circle, you will get insights, new perspectives and some gifts from attending.
Attending and ‘being in the room’ gives you the chance to witness and represent for others, experience life from a new perspective, which fosters a sense of connection and empathy within the group and knowing that you are not alone with what you are carrying. Being seen, understood and accompanied – are key ingredients for healing.
This in-person, face to face group session is hosted at a private house in Hillsborough, offering full wheelchair accessibility for everyone’s comfort and convenience.
Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to find healing and understanding in a warm and safe group setting. Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today and embrace the power of Family Constellations to transform your life. To reserve your place click the button below BOOK YOUR PLACE
If its your first time of doing this work, you may wish to come as a witness/representative the first time to see how it works and if this might be something for you to explore further and focus on your own personal material. Of course, you may feel drawn to just jump in with both feet – that is also fine!

Are you ready to release lifelong patterns and burdens that no longer serve you? This one-day workshop in Sheffield, facilitated by Lucy Ascham, offers the opportunity to bring unprocessed material to light and begin the journey of disentanglement through the powerful methodology of Family Constellations.
During the workshop, upto four Issue Holders will bring forward their personal material for exploration. Whether it’s family dynamics, inherited patterns, or unresolved emotions such as grief, these constellations will form the focus of the day. Lucy will guide each Issue Holder through the process, helping to reveal the hidden dynamics in their system and bring about some movement, where previously none seemed possible. You don’t need to know exactly what to bring—this can emerge through conversation with Lucy on the day. No previous experience is required, just a willingness to explore.
In addition to the Issue Holders, there are places available for Witnesses or Representatives, who will work indirectly on their own material through participation. As a Witness or Representative, you may be asked to stand in for a family member, life event, or other element in someone else’s constellation, which can offer profound insights and inner shifts for your own life. This indirect work often touches on deeply held emotions and patterns, even if you are not the central focus.
By coming together as a group for the day, we build a strong sense of trust, safety, and belonging, allowing us to do deep, transformative work. Through bodily awareness and open-heartedness, we can gain remarkable insights into what holds us back and find new possibilities for moving forward feeling more resourced and lighter.
The workshop will take place in Sheffield and is an incredible opportunity to experience the life-changing potential of Family Constellations. Join us for a day of discovery, healing, and community with Lucy Ascham.
Please bring your own packed lunch. There is a well equipped kitchen and I’ll provide teas, coffees, fruit and biscuits.

Curious about Family Constellations and how it can bring healing to your life? Join Lucy Ascham for an evening of exploration at the beautiful Bodywise Natural Health Centre in Manchester. This introductory, experiential workshop offers a safe, supportive space to discover how the Family Constellations process works and the ways it can illuminate hidden dynamics in your family system or personal life.
You don’t need to bring anything except your curiosity and an openness to engage. We’ll explore the foundational principles of Family Constellations and, through a few simple exercises, begin to see how we can map out our internal world in a shared, supportive space. You will have the opportunity to participate as a Witness or Representative, experiencing firsthand how this method can create powerful shifts, even indirectly.
Whether you’re entirely new to Family Constellations or have heard about it and want to see it in action, this evening is the perfect way to get a feel for this transformative work.
Come along and take your first step toward releasing old patterns, bringing healing, and creating more ease in your life.
Full-Day Family Constellations Workshop with Lucy Ascham
Location: Bodywise Natural Health Centre, Manchester
Date: Saturday 23rd November
Time: 10:00 am – 5:00 am
Join Lucy Ascham for a full-day Family Constellations workshop at Manchester’s tranquil Bodywise Natural Health Centre. This immersive, hands-on workshop offers both Issue Holders and Representatives the opportunity to engage in deep personal healing and transformation.
The day will center around four Issue Holders, who will bring forward a personal topic or challenge to explore in a constellation. Whether it’s a relationship pattern, family trauma, or emotional blockage, Lucy will guide you through the process, using group members as representatives to reveal hidden dynamics and create space for movement and resolution. No prior experience is needed—Lucy will support you throughout the day.
If you’re attending as a Witness or Representative, you’ll have the chance to experience the power of Family Constellations by standing in for family members or elements within someone else’s constellation. This role often brings about unexpected insights and healing in your own life, even without directly presenting your own issue. It’s an opportunity to engage indirectly but deeply with the work, while also supporting the Issue Holders.
The full-day format allows us to build a sense of trust and connection as a group, which creates a safe container for transformative work. By engaging with the wisdom of the body and the heart, you’ll leave the workshop with new insights, a sense of release, and a deeper understanding of the forces shaping your life.
Come spend the day in the beautiful and peaceful Bodywise Natural Health Centre, and experience the profound potential of Family Constellations to heal and reshape your life.
Using the ground-breaking methodology of Family Constellations, we can look at our heart’s desire and get it out of our body into a shared space in order to really see all the people and elements which relate to it.
Over the weekend people will volunteer to explore some of their family history, and what it is they are longing for. You don’t need to know exactly; that can emerge from the conversation with me. I will guide your every step. No previous experience is required.
Using members of the group as stand-ins – for example as a parent, country, significant event or other element – we can get incredible insights into what gets in the way of your life being as you’d like it to be. We see where the blockages are. Patterns become visible and an inner movement can emerge that seemed impossible before.
Being together with a group for a weekend builds a sense of belonging, trust and safety to do some deep work together. We work with our heart and our body. Our lived experiences, and those we inherit and carry for our family system.
Being able to report your bodily sensations when asked is all that is needed.
The workshop leader, Lucy Ascham, has been to Alfoxton numerous times to run this and similar workshops, all of which have been very well attended and successful. Workshops are given on a Dana basis, the Parli word for generosity.
Please bring vegetarian lunch to share. Those staying the night with the Alfoxton Community may make an extra donation for a cooked dinner. (See their website link for further details.)
Your mind is made up of pieces of your family, stretching back through the generations – as such, the way you think, react and behave is often down to them too. By bringing those dynamics to the surface of your conscious mind, we can move them, change them and set you free from whatever’s holding you back.
There is no acting or role play here. More an offering of yourself and your body resonance in service of another. No special skills are required, just an openness to feel your feelings and report what you notice when asked. Everyone can benefit from insights, new perspectives and healing in any of these 3 roles. There are huge benefits to be gained as a Rep or Witness, opening your heart and eyes to new perspectives, insights and Ah ha moments for your own family and life. There is always an overlap between your own issues and those who you are in the room with. The healing movements you see and support can change you and your family system for the better.
The Issue Holder is the name we give to the client or person who brings their personal issue to explore. This is typically something which feels like a burden, something which just won’t go away despite talking about it or looking at it in other ways that you have a deep heart-longing for. In practical terms, you, as ‘the issue holder’, tell us about the issue you would like to work on. This needn’t involve very much explanation, in fact it’s better if it doesn’t. I will then help you choose people from the workshop circle to represent elements and relevant family members and place them in the circle - this forms the beginning of a Constellation.
In place of the family members and/or elements of the issue you’ve chosen, we will ask people to stand. These are your representatives. The representatives are likely to feel emotions, urges and/or sensations, which originate from your family system. This is because they will become connected to the energy field of your family constellation. Previously hidden dynamics are often revealed or highlighted by this process, which will allow you to move closer to perspective, clarity and a solution.
The Witness is someone who helps form the circle, but does not take an active role as an element or representative. This is also an important position where you can have a useful first step into the work. Of course, people can still have strong experiences and be changed by what they see and feel. The ripples of this work go out into their own families too. Sitting, watching and feeling shares the workload between all the bodies and nervous systems and souls present. People choose this place multiple times before feeling ready to do their own piece of work.
I was invited as an Expert on Energy to contribute a chapter to the book titled “Energy: Unleash Your Inner Fire”, now an Amazon No.1 Bestseller It was an honour to share my insights and knowledge in this field, alongside other esteemed experts.
I have also had the privilege of writing a chapter for Words of the Wise, a book featuring writing from over 25 female authors who have all been on different journeys and who have struggled but overcome various life events. All profits raised go back into The Divine Collective for future projects.
