About Susan
Susan Jackson is an HCPC registered Dramatherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has ten years of professional experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. Her work covers stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, anger and related concerns.
Susan describes clients as the experts in their own stories and works in a way that centres the person’s experience. She offers talking-based sessions alongside creative methods drawn from dramatherapy, such as movement, poetry, music and art. These creative options are invitations rather than requirements.
Clinical approaches Susan uses include Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She also integrates hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas when appropriate. Sessions may include practical tools to manage strong feelings and patterns that keep causing problems.
Her background includes trauma-informed work and practical support for people coping with loss, chronic health concerns, caregiving stress, and relationship problems. She also works with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, control and attachment difficulties.
Sessions focus on building a working relationship and identifying the strengths a person already has. Susan aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, develop clearer communication and try different ways of responding to anger and frustration.

How chosen approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach involve open conversation, reflective listening and helping the client steer the pace and topics. It suits people who want to be heard and discover their own responses to anger and stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns into thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often include short practical exercises and behavioural experiments to try between meetings. This approach can help with workplace frustration, rumination and unhelpful reactions to relationship strain.
Hypnotherapy is used alongside talking work to support relaxation and new perspectives on learned responses. In an online setting it may involve guided exercises and imagery to help manage strong emotions and build alternative ways of responding.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the provided information, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on practical changes.
