Linda Elliott

Hi, I'm Linda-Jayne, I have over 6 years experience as a clinical supervisor. My supervisee's work with both adults, children and young people. I am passionate in supporting counsellors in their development through supervision. 

I am an integrative supervisor, however my core training is CBT and can deliver CBT specific supervision on request. I use normative, formative and restorative in my supervision practise. I have 16 years experience working with children and young people in both mainstream and special schools, and specialise in working with young people who have special educational needs. 

Supervision sessions are 1.5hrs where I will lay out a contract for supervision and I have a trial period of 3 months. 

Hi, I'm Linda-Jayne I have over 18 years experience working with adults and children, using CBT and integrative approaches. This means that I tailor sessions to clients needs while integrating counselling strategies.  I use therapeutic play and story work to help in developing self-esteem and resilience.   I can deliver sessions face to face or remote depending on requirements. I have over 15 years counselling adults and children who are neuro-diverse, ie. ASD, ADHD, dyslexic etc. I am client led and use creative techniques in my work. 

I provide a safe, non judgemental setting where clients can relax and talk openly about their feelings. I empower clients to have their voice and manage challenging situations that they face in their lives. 

Assessment sessions are usually 1.5 hrs, this is to complete a full assessment and then to psycho educate clients on how counselling could be beneficial and to identify possible goals. 

When counselling children and young people a full assessment will be completed with parents and young people to help in identifying concerns and set goals. The assessment can be done individually or together, sessions are then delivered with the child or young person independently. I promote open communication and will therefore encourage families to talk about the sessions and for adults to support their children and young people in implementing strategies to help them manage their emotions.
