About Susan

Susan Jackson is an HCPC-registered dramatherapist and a member of the BACP with 10 years of professional experience. She works as a trauma-informed therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, childhood issues and related challenges. Susan describes the client as the expert and primary narrator of their own story, and she aims to help individuals reconnect with existing strengths and resources so they can move through difficulties with renewed agency and clarity.

Her practice combines arts-based methods with talking therapy, offering invitations to explore experience through creative forms such as art, music, poetry and movement while honouring each person’s chosen way of expressing themselves. Alongside dramatherapy, Susan integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and clinical hypnotherapy where appropriate to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation and coping strategies. Building a therapeutic relationship grounded in compassion and non-judgement is central to her approach, and she works collaboratively to tailor therapy to each person’s needs and preferences.

Susan brings particular experience with issues including depression, addictions, relationship and family problems, self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, ADHD, caregiver stress and chronic illness, always holding a trauma-informed perspective in her work.

Approaches Used Online and How They Help

Susan works with a blend of client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy and clinical hypnotherapy tailored to the needs of each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, non-judgemental relationship in which the individual’s experience and choices are respected - it helps when someone needs space to explore feelings and regain a sense of self. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, making it useful for anxiety, stress and depression. Clinical hypnotherapy is a guided, relaxed state that can support access to inner resources and promote changes in habits, emotional responses and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Susan works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their goals, needs and preferences. She tailors methods rather than applying a single model, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, through live chat or by text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and provide consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, while maintaining a focused, goal-oriented therapeutic process.
