Jenny Field , ACA, PACFA

Jenny Field is an ACA, PACFA credentialed counsellor with 17 years of practice in Australia. She focuses on women's issues and a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns. Jenny aims to make the first step less daunting by offering calm, steady support and practical ways to move forward.

She works plainly and directly. Sessions are about naming what feels hard, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that fit everyday life. Jenny pays attention to how attachment, past loss and addiction shape current relationships and choices. She encourages people to bring what feels most important into the room so it can be looked at together.

Jenny draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust and recurring relationship patterns. A client-centred stance means Jenny follows the person’s lead and adapts work to their pace and priorities.

Her experience includes supporting people through trauma, grief, depression, bipolar symptoms, anxiety and compassion fatigue. She also helps with process addictions such as problematic gambling or sexual behaviours, sleep difficulties, parenting stress and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by phone, video, chat or messaging. Jenny uses straightforward language, short-term strategies and longer work when it’s needed, so people can build clearer coping skills and steadier daily routines.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small, value-based steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief and patterns that keep people stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and recent relationship experiences shape current trust and closeness. It can help with attachment issues, intimacy concerns and recovering after relationship loss or abandonment.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of sessions. The counsellor follows the person's lead, listens without judgement and adapts the pace to what feels right for them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss how these methods might fit the person's goals and preferences, and they will adjust plans together as needs change. This is a collaborative process that balances short-term coping with deeper change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits conversations that benefit from visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for brief check-ins or when regular written contact is useful. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving duties and people living outside major centres.
