About Susan
Susan Jackson is a counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through hard times. She holds HCPC and BACP credentials and offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk about stress, anxiety, depression and related struggles. Her approach mixes creative and talking methods to suit each person.
She previously practised dramatherapy and often invites creative ways of working such as art, music, poetry or movement. These are offered as options rather than requirements, and clients choose what feels right for them.
Background and approach
Susan also uses talking therapies and structured tools to help with day to day difficulties. Susan draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that still affect everyday life.
Hypnotherapy and somatic work are available when they fit someone’s needs. Sessions aim to rebuild small, practical skills that make life easier. Susan focuses on emotional safety, steady pacing and clear explanations so people know what to expect.
She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, trauma, addictions and self-esteem. People who prefer a gentle, flexible mix of creative and verbal therapy tend to find her style helpful. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are offered remotely by a range of formats to fit different schedules.

Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT helps people notice thought patterns and try small behaviour changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. It works well online because tools and worksheets can be shared during or between sessions.
Hypnotherapy is another option she may offer when appropriate. In this context it involves guided relaxation and imagery to help with symptoms like sleep problems, stress and unhelpful habits, and can be adapted to video or phone sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances, and together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits fuller conversations and exercises that use visual materials. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
