Jenny Field

Jenny Field is an ACA and PACFA counsellor with 17 years of clinical experience in Australia. She helps people manage addiction, trauma, grief and the weight of compassion fatigue. Jenny aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken plainly and heard. She encourages practical first steps toward a more manageable life.

Jenny listens for what matters most and works with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions focus on increasing everyday coping skills and finding small routines that make a difference. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them.

Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current behaviour. Client-centred practice means people lead the pace and focus of sessions while Jenny offers reflective listening and gentle challenge. This mix can help with anxiety, depression, mood swings and grief reactions.

She has particular experience supporting people facing process addictions, post-traumatic stress and issues linked to sexual assault and abuse. Jenny also works with concerns such as sleep difficulties, intimacy issues, low self-esteem and isolation. Her background includes helping people navigate divorce, abandonment and feelings of guilt or shame.

People who choose Jenny often want straightforward language and practical strategies. She supports those coping with end-of-life and hospice-related concerns without promising specific outcomes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on available times.

How Jenny's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can reduce avoidance and support people living with anxiety, depression or grief. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early attachments influence current interactions, which is useful for intimacy issues, abandonment and relationship distress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work and uses empathic listening and reflection to develop understanding and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jenny collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals and comfort. She adjusts the pace and focus based on feedback so the plan remains practical and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people maintain continuity of care when circumstances change. Discuss session length and frequency during the initial scheduling so arrangements suit daily life and therapeutic goals.
