Susan Jackson, HCPC, BACP

Susan Jackson is an HCPC-registered dramatherapist and a member of the BACP who works with adults to address a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. With 10 years of professional experience, she brings a trauma-informed perspective to work with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, and issues linked to family, intimacy and self-esteem.

Trained in dramatherapy, a branch of arts psychotherapy, she offers an invitation to explore feelings and stories through creative means such as movement, music, poetry and other expressive forms while also using talking therapies. She integrates evidence-informed tools including cognitive behavioural techniques and clinical hypnotherapy alongside a client-centred foundation that emphasises compassion and non-judgement. This approach supports people dealing with ADHD, sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue and other life stresses, as well as more specific concerns like attachment or abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation and chronic illness challenges.

Susan sees the person as the expert of their own story and works collaboratively to help clients identify strengths, rediscover resilience and take practical steps toward change. She adapts session format and timing to individual needs and welcomes conversation about availability and scheduling.
