Jenny Field

Jenny Field is an ACA and PACFA credentialed counsellor with 17 years working in Australia. She focuses on practical support for people facing addiction, trauma, grief and compassion fatigue. Jenny aims to make the first steps feel manageable and less overwhelming.

She creates a straightforward, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Sessions centre on what the person needs right now and on small, workable steps forward. Jenny encourages people to identify values and goals that matter to them.

Her background includes many years helping people with anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, sleep problems and self-harm. She also addresses intimacy and relationship troubles, parenting stress, isolation and issues around abandonment and attachment.

Jenny has experience supporting people through separation, grief and end-of-life concerns, and she works with process addictions such as gambling, exercise and pornography where these are causing harm. She also supports those who have experienced sexual assault and other trauma.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to keep sessions grounded and practical. Jenny works with people to set realistic aims and to build manageable habits that fit everyday life.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them. It supports values-based action so someone can take steps toward a life they care about despite hard emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that began in close relationships and how they affect current connections. It can help with intimacy worries, abandonment concerns and relationship patterns that repeat.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It aims to build trust and clarity so people can make choices that suit their situation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenny will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and decide together which methods to try first. Therapists often blend ideas from different approaches to match what the person needs.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during workday breaks. Other practical advantages include being able to choose quieter surroundings, use less bandwidth with audio only, or pick a shorter session for a focused update.
