About Jenny
ACA, PACFA. Seventeen years of professional experience working in Australia. Jenny Field helps people who are managing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, compassion fatigue, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strains, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar disorder and depression.
Jenny uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred counselling in her work. She focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now and how changes might look day to day. Sessions are straightforward and aim to identify small steps that feel manageable.
Her background includes long experience with loss, post-traumatic stress and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive behaviours. She also works with issues related to abandonment, attachment, separation and the emotional effects of sexual assault and abuse. Other areas of focus include phobias, personality disorder features, self-harm and carers dealing with hospice and end-of-life care.
Jenny takes a direct but respectful style in sessions. She listens to the facts people bring and then helps them practise ways of responding differently. Practical skills from ACT and discussion about attachment patterns are used alongside client-led reflection.
Sessions are conducted in English in Australia. International clients are not accepted. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, the next step is to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current difficulties such as intimacy or abandonment worries. Client-Centred Therapy centres the persons own experience and uses careful listening to help them find solutions and make decisions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Jenny will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs and goals and may combine elements from these approaches depending on progress and preference. The process is described and agreed with the client so they know what to expect.
The practical benefit of online counselling is that it can make sessions easier to fit into daily life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day and make it possible to continue talking while juggling work or caregiving tasks. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking.
