One-to-one family constellation for Johannesburg

Many families in Johannesburg juggle long working hours, blended households and relatives spread between provinces and continents. A family constellation offers a way to look at those relationships calmly. Dr. Riddhe Sshilpi runs one-to-one online sessions, using simple objects to represent each family member.

How a one-to-one constellation is arranged online

In the session you choose objects for yourself and the relatives you want to examine, and place them on a table. Dr. Riddhe asks how close or distant each piece sits and which direction it faces. Small movements often bring something into focus, such as a person who seems left out or a role you feel obliged to carry.

You work alone, and relatives do not need to be told or to participate. The method is not therapy, medical treatment or crisis support. If you are in acute distress, please speak to a qualified professional first, and use the session only as a reflective exercise.

Session formats

How family constellation sessions are offered

  • One-to-one, online

    Just you and Dr. Riddhe on video, with everyday objects representing family members.

  • Group sessions in person

    Other participants stand in for family members. Held in person in Mumbai.

  • No family attendance needed

    You attend on your own; the family system is represented in the session.

  • Reflective, not therapy

    It does not diagnose or treat; it can sit alongside professional support.

Family responsibilities that people in Johannesburg carry

Typical themes among Johannesburg clients include being the one who supports everyone else, friction with in-laws, a parent living overseas, or an unresolved rift after a death. Families of Indian origin whose roots in South Africa go back generations may also feel questions about inheritance of duty, tradition and identity, which can show in the arrangement of objects.

The online format suits busy schedules, as it needs no travel across the city. Use a dining table and small household items such as keys, cups, coins or toy figures. Because India runs three and a half hours ahead of Johannesburg, a time is agreed that does not push the session into the small hours for either side.

Why group work stays in person only

In-person group constellations are held only at Vile Parle West in Mumbai. Johannesburg residents work one to one by video. The format is reflective and will not settle a legal, medical or financial question about a family matter.

Picking a theme and gathering objects

Questions & answers

Constellation questions in Johannesburg

Have a different question? Ask Dr. Riddhe’s team. There is no obligation to book.

Can I explore a rift with in-laws without involving them?

Yes. Your in-laws do not attend, and they need not know. The session works with your own view of the relationship, shown through the objects you place on the table.

What household items can stand for relatives?

Almost anything small and distinct, such as keys, cups, coins, pebbles or toy figures. Dr. Riddhe will ask you to name each one for a person and to place it as it feels right.

Are group constellations held for people who live in Gauteng?

Groups meet in person in Mumbai only. If you visit India, you can ask about dates. Johannesburg residents otherwise use the individual online format, which needs no travel.

Is this a substitute for counselling after a bereavement?

No. It is not therapy, medical treatment or crisis support. If grief is overwhelming, please see a counsellor or doctor. A constellation can only be a gentle, reflective extra.
