About Susan

Susan Jackson is a dramatherapist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has around 10 years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties. Susan aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and find clearer ways forward.

Her approach begins with building a compassionate, non-judgemental relationship. She offers talking therapy alongside creative options drawn from dramatherapy, such as music, movement, poetry and art, when clients want to try them.

Background and approach

Those creative methods are invitations rather than requirements, and clients choose how they want to express themselves. Susan also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, hypnotherapy and somatic-informed ideas when they fit the client’s goals. She brings these methods together in practical ways to address sleeping problems, low mood, grief, addictions and stress-related difficulties.

People come to her for help with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, body image and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with clients facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, cancer-related challenges and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and on helping people cope with life changes.

Susan invites questions about timing and scheduling and encourages clients to say what they need as therapy progresses.

How Susan works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you, giving space to lead the conversation and identify goals. It can help with low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns by building trust and clarity in sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties and often includes simple exercises between sessions.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift unhelpful patterns and support changes in thoughts and responses. It can be useful for stress, sleeping problems and some habit-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your situation, goals and preferences. Decisions about using creative dramatherapy, CBT techniques or hypnotherapy are made collaboratively and can change as you progress.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break and remove travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss practical adjustments to make the work effective for you.
