Susan Jackson, HCPC, BACP

Susan Jackson is an HCPC (Health Care and Professional Council) and BACP credentialed Dramatherapist working in the United Kingdom with 10 years of clinical experience. She practices within arts psychotherapy and brings a trauma-informed lens to her work, combining creative expression with talking therapies to help people navigate difficult emotions and life events.

Susan supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, as well as challenges rooted in childhood experiences. Her practice also includes work with depression, addictions, family and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue, alongside a range of related difficulties such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Her approach is rooted in building a collaborative, client-centered relationship where compassion and non-judgement are central. As a Dramatherapist she may invite clients to explore experience through creative methods - including art, music, poetry and movement - while making clear that such expression is entirely optional and without expectation. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and clinical hypnotherapy alongside psychodynamic, somatic and trauma-focused methods to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Susan views each person as the primary author of their own story and works to help them rediscover strengths and resources that support change. Her practice emphasizes respect for individual pace and preference, offering a range of therapeutic avenues to suit different ways of processing and healing.
