About Jenny
Jenny Field is an ACA and PACFA registered counsellor with 17 years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with adults facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, compassion fatigue, anxiety and depression. Jenny also lists concerns such as relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Jenny keeps sessions down-to-earth and direct. She listens to what people bring and helps them name the thoughts and feelings that feel heavy. Conversations focus on what matters to the client now and on small, practical steps that can change daily life.
Her background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma, process addictions, and complicated grief. She has experience with issues around attachment, abandonment and separation. That experience guides how she responds to fears and patterns that show up again and again.
Jenny uses approaches that encourage acceptance and values-based action, attention to attachment patterns, and a client-centred way of working. That means sessions are shaped around the person in front of her, not a fixed checklist. She helps clients notice what they most want to protect or change and supports them in clarifying next steps.
People who are carrying guilt or shame often come with questions about identity, relationships or past actions. Jenny works with those themes plainly and respectfully, helping clients say aloud what they have been holding and consider alternatives to self-blame.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on small actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and for responses to guilt where avoidance has become a problem.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. Making those patterns easier to recognise can help with intimacy, abandonment fears and repeated relationship difficulties.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience and priorities at the centre of sessions. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely and reflects what comes up so people can make clearer decisions about change.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to adjust methods to fit their needs, goals and preferences.
The biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, shorten check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular contact while they work on matters such as guilt, shame, trauma responses and addictive behaviours.
