About Sivan Avni - Couples Therapist & Family Constellation Facilitator

Specializing in couples without a supportive family system

When love is your only anchor, it is also the source of stress.

If your relationship sometimes feels like the only solid ground you have - a source of strength, but also a place of pressure, exhaustion, and emotional overload - you’re not alone.

When there’s no extended family to lean on, no parents to call, no supportive background to help carry the load, every argument or moment of distance can feel ten times more intense.

That’s where I come in.

I’m here to help you bring back the safety, intimacy, and quiet confidence to your relationship -
so that you can breathe together again, without losing yourselves in the process.

A personal and professional journey

My path began with a deep curiosity about love - how it works, where it breaks, and how it can heal.

As someone who has personally experienced life without a family safety net, I know how quickly love can become a survival strategy rather than a place of refuge.

But I’ve also learned - both personally and professionally - that there’s another way:

You can build a strong “us” that holds steady, even when there’s no one else behind you.
And you can do that without losing your sense of self.

My therapeutic approach - Depth meets practicality

The process I offer is called Process-Oriented Couples Constellation - a structured and transformative approach I developed over years of working with couples.

It brings together three essential components:

  • Family Constellation Work: To reveal unconscious dynamics inherited from your family system.

  • Differentiation: To develop your capacity to stay grounded and present in emotional closeness.

  • Worthiness: To help you feel fundamentally deserving of love, even when you’re vulnerable, unsure, or hurting.

Alongside these core elements, I integrate practical communication tools from various methods - including Louise Hay’s healing language and Brené Brown’s work on vulnerability.

Together, this fusion of depth and practice becomes a living method that supports real, lasting change.

What does the process look like?

In our work together, you will:

  • Identify the stuck patterns that keep repeating in your relationship

  • Learn to communicate differently - even in emotionally charged moments

  • Rebuild a sense of emotional safety and stability between you

This is more than conflict resolution.
This is about building a connection that lasts - even when there’s no one else to catch you if you fall.
