“My sessions with Trish have been fantastic. I have gained a lot of clarity surrounding my thoughts and feelings. Trish is a warm person and very easy to open up to. I felt comfortable and listened to. The art aspect was great. I originally was apprehensive about art therapy, but I found it to be a great way to communicate emotions and make sense of them. I am so grateful for the sessions I have had and would recommend them to anyone who is considering it. ”

“Trish has had a very powerful and meaningful impact on my life. When I started Art Psychotherapy I didn’t know what to draw at first but then I realised it’s not about knowing what to draw or becoming the next Pablo Picasso. It’s about just putting pencil to paper and allowing the process to happen. Once I understood this, I couldn’t stop drawing. Drawing became a means of expressing myself. If I felt anxious, stressed, frustrated or angry I would draw. As well as a drawing I also journaled and meditated daily. This combination of techniques was incredibly effective for me. I developed my imagination and awareness which allowed me to observe my thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Without awareness you are living in darkness, Art Psychotherapy is the light that allows you to see. Once the light was turned on, I began taking action and started making the necessary changes in my life. This has resulted in a tremendous sense of inner strength and peace. If you are considering starting Art Psychotherapy I would strongly recommend Trish.”

“Having experience as a client of psychoanalysis and Jungian psychotherapy I was interested to participate in a different approach to analysis. Art psychotherapy with Trish Banks helped to bridge a gap with past events and led to a better understanding of the inner child. Our work together using pencil and paper as a medium was eye-opening and very effective as a practice. Additionally, Trish introduced me to new breathwork and meditation techniques which I have since adopted in my daily life.

Overall, Trish’s ability to guide me through delicate subjects paved the way for an awareness of inner child and present adult. I feel much more prepared to overcome the issues I presented with initially and have seen how positively our work together has impacted my professional life. I look forward to working with Trish Banks in the future and would recommend this type of therapy to anyone! “

“Working with Trish was a gentle and refreshing experience. By beginning my journey of self-knowing using the tools of self-expression of art and drawing I set in motion important changes in my life and began to seek healing and release. These practices that I developed with Trish have become my own and led to internal transformations. I can recommend this approach to anyone who wants to get to know parts of themselves creatively and softly in order to allow a flow of new information about the self previously inaccessible.“

“Working with Trish is an utterly transformative experience and because of her work, I feel present for the first time in my life. I am now able to challenge my learned patterns of behavior, enforce boundaries and separate out my emotions. Trish has not only helped me understand where my behaviors come from, as she supported me in revisiting past experiences, but she has also taught me how to challenge reactive behavior in a compassionate way. This compassionate component is a key element of Trish's work and it made me feel safe as we revisited some harder parts of the past. Despite being nervous about the art therapy element of the work, I am now aware of the power this medium has in creating a dialogue with the subconscious and I am in awe of what came up as I was encouraged to create. I am incredibly grateful to have found Trish and taking the opportunity to work with her was one of the best decisions I have ever made.”

''Through this creative and profound style of therapy, Trish introduced a whole new layer of self-growth and understanding as to how I communicate with myself and the world around me. Her guidance and words came at a time when I was in need of a deeper understanding of myself. Her sessions are thoroughly enjoyable, of deep benefit and achieve results. She is incredibly connected and wise, and has a wonderful way with words. You don't need to be able to draw, this style of therapy goes so much deeper, I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Trish''
