Supported by Professor Colin Murrell, she developed an innovative portfolio of art-health methods tailored to benefit individuals dealing with self-harm tendencies and mental health challenges, including anxiety, stress, and depression. Banu is a certified Mental Health First Aider and is deeply committed to destigmatising self-harm and mental health issues. She has successfully led numerous arts-health interventions and, in recognition of her exceptional contributions to mental health, was honoured with the British Empire Medal in 2022.
