Simon Banks

Simon Banks

Simon is a highly experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor having trained and worked in the UK for many years before relocating to New Zealand.

He has a keen interest in working in relationship with his clients and especially the somatisation of trauma and other troubles that show up as appearing as if they are in the body.

A combination of his Yoga teaching, Somatic Experience training and his skills as a psychotherapist as well as a background in the UK music business all put him in a unique space to now be present for another to assist in their healing.

He has also been on his own journey of recovery and is many years free of multiple addictions which has required continuous growth and healing from his own trauma.

Get in touch with Simon if you would like a safe space where you can see or do anything (as long as it is not harmful to either of you) and discover first some understanding and then perhaps some healing from whatever it is that lands you on this page.

Simon works from a consulting room at home as well as online via video call.
