meet Marianne Adams
Senior Art Psychotherapist, lecturer, and writer
Marianne Adams is a Senior Art Psychotherapist, lecturer, and writer whose work explores the hidden landscapes of human experience through image, embodied awareness, and therapeutic presence.
With over 30 years of clinical practice, 20 years of teaching in Art Therapy and
currently lecturing on the Art Therapy MSc at MTU Cork, she is deeply interested in how our earliest beginnings shape the ways we inhabit ourselves, meet others, and make meaning of our lives.
Her work bridges clinical understanding with contemplative, creative, and imaginal ways of knowing. She is the creator of Mapping Beyond Certainty (IACAT, 2016), a visual framework for exploring relational experience and therapeutic encounter and has written on themes of adoption, belonging and identity in Multicultural Family Art Therapy (Routledge 2015).
