Jenny Field

Jenny Field is an ACA and PACFA registered counsellor with 17 years of experience in Australia. She supports people facing addiction, grief, trauma and ongoing anxiety. Jenny aims to make the first step less daunting by offering calm, practical guidance and steady support.

Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth. Sessions are a place to talk without judgement and to sort out what matters most. Jenny listens for patterns in relationships, thoughts and behaviours and helps people notice small changes that can make daily life easier.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take workable steps towards them. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect current trust, intimacy or feelings of abandonment. Client-centred methods mean the person sets the pace and priorities for each session.

Jenny has worked with people affected by compassion fatigue and carers, and supports those dealing with bereavement, end-of-life concerns and relationship breakdown. She also has experience with process addictions, phobias and self-harm, and with clients who are visually impaired.

Conversations focus on practical coping, clearer decision-making and rebuilding routines such as sleep and parenting plans. The tone is supportive and straightforward, aimed at helping people regain confidence and small moments of relief.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small, practical steps towards those values while living with difficult thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, depression, grief and addiction-related behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it can be useful when people struggle with abandonment, intimacy or relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, creating space to talk through emotions at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the focus over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who need quieter surroundings or who prefer not to use video. Discussing practical arrangements during the first contact helps match the format to each person's routine and needs.
