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' experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns. Sessions are described in everyday terms and focus on practical ways to cope and move forward.
Her approach combines talking work and creative methods. As a dramatherapist she may suggest using art, music, poetry or movement as ways to notice feelings and try new responses. This is optional and always offered without expectations about how someone expresses themselves.
Susan also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and clinical hypnotherapy alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. CBT is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. Hypnotherapy may be introduced to help with relaxation and shifting patterns that feel stuck.
She aims to build a practical working relationship that looks at current difficulties and small steps to change them. Sessions involve discussing problems, trying simple techniques, and reviewing what helps between meetings. The tone is straightforward and focused on tools that people can use day to day.
Susan works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
Approaches used in online work and how it helps
Online sessions can draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is practical and task-focused, often involving simple exercises to test how new responses feel and whether they help reduce distress.Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can make sense of what matters most to them. This approach supports clearer goals and helps people identify steps they want to take. Hypnotherapy may be offered as a tool for relaxation and for working with habits or anxiety that feel stuck.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods to try based on their needs and goals. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress and preferences become clearer.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into their day more easily, can be shorter for quick check-ins, or remove travel time. The focus remains on practical strategies, checking what helps between meetings and adjusting methods to suit everyday life.
