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 ten years of professional experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and other life pressures.
Her approach centres on building a compassionate, non-judgemental relationship. She invites clients to lead their story while she offers practical support. Sessions may include talking therapy alongside creative options such as drama, art, music or movement when people want that choice.
Susan also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy when these fit a person’s needs. She aims to help people recognise patterns, try new ways of coping and practise small changes that feel manageable.
She pays attention to how early attachment and life events shape current reactions. That can include looking at abandonment, attachment issues, control or commitment problems, and the impact of chronic illness or caring responsibilities.
Susan stresses collaboration and respect for each person’s pace. She invites people to be curious about what might help and supports them to try practical steps between sessions.
How Susan brings therapy online with practical approaches
Many of Susan's methods translate well to remote work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings and choices; this approach helps when someone wants a calm space to talk through worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and supports small experiments and practical exercises between sessions to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Hypnotherapy can be used to help with relaxation and changing unhelpful habits when a person is comfortable trying guided imagery or focused relaxation.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Susan works together with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. Remote work also often allows for shorter check-ins or camera-free options when a quieter or less visual session suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals help clients adapt therapeutic tools so they can practise skills at home between appointments.
