Susan Jackson, HCPC, BACP

Susan Jackson is a HCPC-registered Dramatherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 10 years of professional experience working in trauma-informed therapy. She blends arts-based methods with talking therapies to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, and a wide range of other life challenges.

Susan places emphasis on a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which the individual remains the expert on their own story. She works from a compassionate, non-judgemental stance to help clients identify strengths and resources that can be used to navigate change and recovery. Her training includes approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and clinical hypnotherapy, alongside dramatherapy and creative expression through art, music, poetry and movement.

Creative methods are offered as invitations rather than requirements - clients are free to engage in ways that feel comfortable to them. Susan also supports people coping with issues like attachment and abandonment, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and difficulties with intimacy and communication.

Based in the United Kingdom and working in English, Susan aims to make the therapeutic process accessible and practical. She encourages anyone considering therapy to take the courageous step of seeking support and will work collaboratively to tailor the approach to individual needs and goals.
