About Jenny
Jenny Field is an ACA counsellor and PACFA practitioner with 17 years of experience working in Australia. She focuses on supporting people who are struggling with addictions, trauma, grief and chronic stress. Jenny aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful for anyone who reaches out.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She creates a calm space where people can talk about painful experiences without judgement. Sessions are paced to suit each person, and practical strategies are introduced alongside time to reflect and process feelings.
How Jenny works
Jenny draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she understands relationship wounds and recurring emotional reactions. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the work focused on the person’s own goals and experience rather than a rigid plan.
She has particular experience supporting people facing compassion fatigue, end-of-life concerns, and complex grief. Jenny also works with anxiety, depression, bipolar-related concerns, self-harm, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviour. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling step. Jenny aims to help people build sustainable coping skills and clearer sense of direction.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addiction and stress where making small value-led changes matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people understand emotional triggers and relating habits. This approach can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and ongoing relationship distress. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and supports self-directed change through empathic listening and respect.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenny will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. Over the first few sessions she will check in about what feels useful and adjust the focus as required.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access to care. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins, brief problem-solving or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to schedule regular work around life commitments and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
