Principal:
My name is Cathy Banks and I am the Principal and founder of
mindset counselling. 

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist.
My qualifications are Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy; Bachelor of Business (Psychology and Marketing); and Diploma of Management.


In addition to my Private Practice, I also work in primary schools on Sydney's north shore.

I specialise in childhood anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. I use an integrative approach combining cognitive behavioural therapy with sandplay to assist children to overcome personal challenges, increase personal resilience and coping strategies, and attain confidence with change.

Sandplay involves the play with of figurines and miniatures in a sandtray to create a picture. Children enjoy this type of therapy and is very productive for accessing the unconconscious and providing insight and clarity.
