ABOUT
ADRIANA (Adi) BENARROCH
​
Adi (pronounced Ay-dee) is a creative arts therapist with a passion for finding creative ways of expression, embodiment, and the power of using metaphors to access and move through complex personal material.
​
Adi comes with a background in interior architecture, design, and jewellery making. Her journey towards practising creative arts therapy developed from curiously searching for a deeper connection to self, emotion, materiality and healthy creative expression.
She specialises in arts psychotherapy and counselling services for individuals, as well as uniquely designed art making workshops for diverse groups and teams. Her vision is to foster development, growth and empowerment for individuals as well as the community through the use of creativity, play, and expressive arts therapies.
​
Adi is fluent in Spanish, as a migrant she has lived experience in cultural diversity and welcomes all people, all ages and stages of life. Including those under the neurodiverse umbrella and LGBTQIA + support.
No prior experience in art making is necessary as it is a process-based work.
