Who are the workshop facilitators?
The co-founders of Constellation Workshops, Janet, Lynn, Paul and John trained together in this work over five years ago. Since then they have enjoyed developing their work together and as individuals in various ways, in a number of fields. Although they cannot all be present at every one of the monthly workshops they take it in turns to facilitate and support each other in the work and holding of the group.
Janet Hermann
Co-founder and facilitator. Janet is a BACP accredited person-centred counsellor with more than 20 years experience of working with individuals and groups. She is also a counsellor trainer and supervisor, runs a post qualifying group facilitation course and manages a counselling service. She has experience of working in an adult education setting, an NHS residential mental health setting and in private practice. Prior experience includes working with refugees, educational project management, managing a department in a college and teaching adults.
John Whittington
Co-founder. John leads a developmental coaching practice for leaders, entrepreneurs and teams in which systemic coaching and constellations form an integral part. He also facilitates a regular systemic coaching training and in 2012 is publishing his first book ‘Systemic Coaching and Constellations. An introduction to the principles, practices and application.’ Due to his commitments in this area and regular international travel John is unable to attend the Saturday workshops but remains active in the development and support of the team’s activities.
Paul Stoney
Co-founder. Although for much of his career Paul has been an IT consultant, he has also worked as a minister and Pastoral Counsellor in community and school settings. Paul went on to train in Systemic Family Constellations and also qualified as an executive and personal coach. His deep respect for spirituality and his love of music are reflected in the depth and sensitivity he brings to the work. His piano improvisations richly enhance the workshop experience.
Lynn Stoney
Co-founder and facilitator. Originally a teacher in mainstream and special needs schools, Lynn also facilitates bespoke days for charities and groups in London and beyond. In addition to the learning circle and Saturday workshops she offers private, one to one constellation sessions in person (London and Salisbury) and, where appropriate, over the ‘phone.
Barbara Barnard
Bookings and administration. Barbara has extensive experience as an administrator. She is a qualified counsellor and an interfaith minister. She has completed 2 years training in Systemic Family Constellations and is passionate about this work, supporting it in various ways.
Our wider peer group
The peer group community of which we are a part was born out of the personal, family and organisational constellations training run by the senior faculty of CSISS and is formed from the those who trained between 2004 and 2007. The peer group continues to meet and practice to support our ongoing development in this work. It is made up of individuals who are committed to the continual exploration of the human condition and this phenomenological approach to personal and professional issues.
As a group we meet monthly to share experience, to practice and to bring issues for supervision. Not all of the members of the group facilitate public workshops but instead use the work in one-to-one and other settings where the principles and practice of this approach are used to clarify and resolve with great effectiveness. Those who offer one-to-one counseling, therapy or coaching are identified below and can be contacted through this site (info[at]constellationworkshops.co.uk) or directly as identified below.
