About Susan Jackson

Susan Jackson is an HCPC-registered dramatherapist and therapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience working in a trauma-informed way. She holds HCPC and BACP credentials - the HCPC being the UK regulator for health and care professions and the BACP representing the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists - and brings a blend of creative and talking therapies to support people through difficult life moments.

Susan works with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, childhood issues and related challenges such as low self-esteem, sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing addiction, family and intimacy-related issues, ADHD and the varied pressures that come with caregiving or long-term illness.

Her practice is rooted in building a compassionate, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the client is seen as the expert of their own story. As a dramatherapist she offers invitations to explore experience through creative avenues - such as art, music, poetry and movement - alongside talking therapies. In addition to arts-based work she integrates approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and clinical hypnotherapy when helpful, always respecting each person’s preferred way of expressing themselves.

Seeking help takes courage, and Susan aims to support people as they rediscover strengths and take steps towards clearer, more manageable ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Susan Jackson uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work - it helps with self-exploration, relationship issues and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often applied to anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress. Clinical Hypnotherapy complements talking therapy by using guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habits, trauma-related symptoms and managing intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with each person to understand their goals, preferences and life context, and she adapts techniques so the therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around. This ongoing dialogue helps determine what combination of methods will be most useful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible. These options allow people to engage from home or other convenient locations, fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are not possible. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver focused, effective work through these formats while adapting the pace and tools to each person’s needs.
