Emma Jones

I have 16 years post qualification experience in various counselling, CBT and supervisory roles. I am qualified in person centred, psychodynamic counselling and CBT. I also draw from training in trauma and attachment approaches.

I have worked extensively in senior/supervisory roles within CYP mental health services and as such I can provide specialist supervision for those working with children and young people in addition to providing supervision of adult work. 

In private practice I offer counselling for adults and young people, clinical supervision for professionals, and supervision of supervision. Alongside this I work with a children’s charity providing therapies and in a separate role providing bereavement counselling. 

You can expect a safe and containing space to discuss client work and all elements of the therapeutic role. We will work collaboratively to build mutual understanding of your clients in order to help them to progress.

Your supervision will be adapted to suit your stage of professional development, whether in training, newly qualified, established, or experienced.

I work in ways which promote your own emotional well-being, encouraging discussion of feelings raised as a result of your work to reduce any negative impact of the work on your wellbeing. This can also increase our understanding of how your clients may be feeling, how they relate to others and can help us to use relational dynamics for the benefit of your clients progress. 

We might also discuss areas of risk, make practice theory links, identify special areas of interest or talk about any other areas relating to your role that you feel are relevant to development of your practice.

I do not believe that counsellors or supervisors can or should be all knowing. I view the supervisory relationship as an ongoing opportunity for mutual learning. I promote an open and honest ethos in which to both celebrate achievements and explore any areas that you may feel stuck with.

I engage with regular supervision of client work and also with supervision of supervision. I believe these are essential to effective practice. 

If you are interested in working together please contact me to arrange a no cost 30 min Zoom meeting for introductions and discussion around your supervisory needs. This will enable us to consider your expectations, how these might be met and if we are a good fit for working together. 

Fees:

For qualified counsellors/therapists supervision fees are £80.00 per 90 mins. Frequency is usually 90 mins per calendar month. Where additional supervision is required or a reduced amount is needed because of supervision accessed elsewhere the rate is £60.00 per hour. Where a duration of less than 60 mins is requested the minimum fee of £60 is charged. 

For counsellors/therapists in training where no fee is being received for client work I offer a reduced rate of £70.00 per 90 mins or £50.00 per hour. The frequency is negotiable to fit with training requirements. Where a duration of less than 60 mins is requested the minimum fee of £50 is charged.
