About me

Hi, I’m Jenny Laskowsky – an HCPC-Registered Art Psychotherapist. I offer a warm, supportive space for adults, children, and young people to explore their inner worlds and navigate life’s challenges through creative and relational therapy.

My approach is trauma-informed and based on the belief that healing happens when you feel truly heard, seen, and accepted without judgement. We work together to gently unpick what you want to bring, at your own pace, in a way that feels manageable and safe. Whether you’re living with chronic pain, processing grief, feeling overwhelmed, or going through a life transition, I offer art therapy as a gentle but powerful way to make sense of your experiences and build emotional resilience.

I bring over a decade of experience working in health and community settings, supporting people through difficult times. This includes working with children and adolescents around emotional and behavioural challenges, trauma, neurodiversity, and adults managing long-term health conditions, trauma, bereavement. I work relationally, following your lead and tailoring sessions to meet your individual needs with care and curiosity.

A core part of my practice is an understanding that emotions, stress, and trauma are held in the body. Art making can support release and insight by engaging the body in movement and the mind in creative reflection. Sometimes, the process of making can bring clarity or emotional shifts that words alone might not reach.

Outside of the therapy room, I have a strong interest in sport, movement, and nervous system regulation. I believe we can’t separate our physical and emotional selves and this shapes my approach as a therapist. Just as physical movement supports our bodies, therapy supports our emotional wellbeing.

Testimonials

“In talking therapy there felt a pressure to talk about painful and difficult things, and to repeat this and re-live it, which was hard to do. In the art therapy group, I could express it but not have to say it. And it was helpful in a group as you hear others and get to support them. It doesn’t feel focused all on you.”

"Jen has been a wonderful support for our child. From the very first session, she created a space where they felt safe, heard, and able to express themselves through art in ways words couldn’t reach. We’ve seen such a positive change—not just in their confidence, but in how they manage their feelings and challenges. Jen’s kindness, patience, and understanding have made a real difference to our family, and we’re so grateful for her care."

Experience

I’ve worked in health, community, and creative settings for over a decade, supporting both adults and children with a wide range of emotional, physical, and mental health needs. I have extensive experience working with individuals with autism, learning disabilities, and complex life experiences—both in one-to-one and group settings.

During my Art Psychotherapy training, I developed and delivered art therapy services in hospice and pain management settings, supporting adults and children facing chronic pain, grief, bereavement, and trauma. I created safe, supportive spaces where clients could explore difficult emotions through creativity at their own pace.

Alongside my therapy work, I’ve held roles as a Health and Wellbeing Coach and a Young Person’s Social Prescriber, offering trauma-informed, person-centred support around anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing. I have facilitated workshops, peer groups, and creative education projects, and have worked closely with GPs, schools, and healthcare teams to support children and young people holistically.

I currently work with children and young people who have experienced and survived domestic abuse—supporting them to process trauma, rebuild safety, and strengthen resilience through creative and relational approaches.

My earlier work as a freelance artist and facilitator involved designing and leading creative sessions for children and adults with autism, learning disabilities, and complex needs—helping people of all ages to express themselves and connect through art.

I bring this broad and compassionate experience into my work as an art therapist, always working relationally, collaboratively, and at the pace that feels right for each individual
