Trish Banks
Integrative Counsellor and Art Psychotherapist
Let Creativity Guide You Home
My approach
My approach is first and foremost relational. I acknowledge the interconnectivity between body, mind, and emotion, between past, present, and future, and between people, place, and culture. By coming into relationship with yourself, you can better understand your own personal psychology and in doing so can create the life you wish to live.
As an Art Psychotherapist, I offer many creative and therapeutic tools while holding a holistic Person-Centred Approach. I have an MA in Applied Psychosynthesis and a BA(Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Art Therapy. All that combined with being a Reiki Master, means I offer a very rounded approach to the healing process.
Art Therapy
Art IN therapy as opposed to art AS therapy is the best way to describe the way I use art with clients. Image, symbol and story are the language of the unconscious mind, so inviting a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious mind in sessions provides another dimension to the work. It’s about listening to what the image is trying to say and allowing the client to be the interpreter.

Testimonials
Anne C, Ireland
“Working with Trish changed my life because it changed my relationship with myself. I like myself now (which is new for me) and understand the way I think and behave so much better. I love doing the drawing and journaling and totally see that as my way to hear whats really going on with me. Trish is supportive without being directive and she showed me how to take care of myself by including the younger parts of me that needed reparenting. During COVID she was my lifeline online. She gave me access to compassion when I needed it most. With her help, I can now bring that to myself.”
