Jenny Waddington

Jenny currently runs a part-time practice from her home in Malton near York and conducts sessions both online and face-to-face.

Prior to this, she practised from the York Human Givens Wellbeing Centre for over 13 years, having set up the Centre jointly with Gail Rhodes in 2010. She co-ran the Centre until 2022.

Jenny has been working from the Human Givens approach since 2008 and qualified as a Human Givens Supervisor in 2013. She is a trained bereavement counsellor and worked in a voluntary bereavement support team for several years in a hospice. Before that she was a secondary school English teacher and then an editor in Zimbabwe where she grew up.

Over many years, Jenny has worked with a wide variety of clients with challenges including acute and ongoing stress, anxiety and depression, trauma, addictions, eating disorders and relationship issues. She also particularly enjoys working with clients who simply want to manage their lives better and are looking for new strategies to do this as quickly and effectively as possible. Jenny believes that emotional wellbeing comes through discovering, using and developing your own strengths, managing your responses to people and life events through learning to keep calm and think clearly, and taking back control where you can, so that you can do the things that you need to as well as the things that you love.

Jenny currently works with clients aged 18 and above.

She is also an accredited supervisor with the Human Givens Institute and has provided supervision for both HG therapists and other health professionals since 2013.
