About Jenny

Jenny Field is an ACA and PACFA-credentialed counsellor with 17 years of experience working in Australia. She helps people cope with addiction, grief, trauma and the strain of compassion fatigue. Jenny aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement so people can take small steps toward change.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Jenny listens first and follows each person’s lead, helping them name what matters most. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when these suit the client’s goals.

Sessions often involve talking through difficult memories, practising ways to manage strong emotions, and noticing unhelpful patterns that keep problems going. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Jenny has worked with complex issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, personality challenges, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions such as problematic gambling or pornography. She also offers support around end-of-life concerns, sexual assault recovery, isolation and women’s issues.

Her style is patient and non-judgemental. She helps people set realistic goals and build practical steps to reach them. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to Jenny’s availability.

How Jenny’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates a supportive space where people can talk about painful topics and be heard. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions instead of getting stuck in avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of connecting and managing emotion. Together these approaches suit concerns such as trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction and ongoing anxiety by combining understanding with practical steps.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Jenny will work with each person to see which ideas fit their needs and goals, and will adjust methods over time. The emphasis is on what helps the person move forward rather than a fixed program.

The biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work on grief, trauma, addiction or relationship issues from their everyday routines while working with an ACA and PACFA-credentialed counsellor to plan practical next steps.
