Jo Taylor-Jones

I trained in Humanistic Counselling at University of Brighton, gaining a PGDip in 2009, then went on to attain an MA in Psychotherapeutic Counselling in 2012. I spent the next few years working in various roles in addiction support, setting up a private practice, and learning the ropes in academia. 

In 2018 I became a Senior Lecturer on the BA (Hons) Humanistic Counselling and BSc Counselling Psychology programmes at University of Chichester, and in 2025 became the Course Leader for a new MA Counselling and Psychotherapy there. Prior to lecturing at Chichester I taught counselling theory and related topics for the Open University, counselled students at University of Winchester, as well as popping in to do workshops at other training providers such as University of Brighton and Basingstoke Counselling Service.

As a practitioner I particularly work with: issues of identity, not quite knowing what's 'wrong', addictions, young adults, abuse, bereavement and loss, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and work issues, though I'd like to hear whatever you want to bring. If I feel you'd be best helped by a specialist or group in a particular area I can help you find that too.

I hold current insurance and DBS certificate, as well as being BACP Registered.
To comply with the UK GDPR I am registered with the ICO as a data controller so that all your information is safe.

I fully support those who are in diverse, minority or oppressed identities.

Welcome to my Supervision page.

I offer clinical supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists from a predominantly Person-centred and Humanistic perspective. I have additional experience and knowledge of other modalities but my primary aim is to offer you a safe space in which we can look at various elements of your experience of the client work. This could be ethics and difficulties but will also include your process and successes.

I hope to support you in your curious exploration of your client work and all it has to offer, as well as offering an alternative view on things. For me it is important that supervision feels both holding and growthful for you.

I teach on the BA Humanistic Counselling at University of Chichester but am happy to take ex-students as supervisees six months or more after their course ends.

My regular counselling fee for 50 minutes is £60, however for supervision we can do 1 1/2 hours per month for £80, whether you want to do that in one chunk or two 45 minute sessions of £40 each.
