Can feel lymph nodes in neck that have been there for a while doctor has checked and said that they are fine as they are within the normal range. However, when I went I said I think I can feel a supraclavicular lymph node however the doctor explained it wasn't it was cervical. How far up from your collabone can a supraclavicular node be?

Supra clavicular lymph nodes are palpation in the supraclavicular Fossa more laterally and usually are palpable in the middle part of the Supra clavicular region. If any nodes are present in the area of sterno clavicular joint then usually it is cervical lymph node
Next Steps
If there is any doubt you can undergo ultrasound of the neck for confirmation of diagnosis
