About Dr Jena Field

A highly skilled and intuitive practice

I am a chartered counselling psychologist and coach with a doctorate in counselling psychology and more than 30 years in clinical practice, research, and publication.

My practice combines traditional talk therapy, brain-body approaches, and contemporary neuroprocessing techniques (CBT, IFS, Somatic, BPS, EMDR). It is pragmatic, compassionate, science-driven, and flexible. Together we adapt the process so that it works best for you.

The approach

What is Monkey Therapy?

心猿

In ancient Chinese, 心猿 translates to monkey mind, meaning that our minds are full of drunken monkeys, endlessly chattering and swinging wildly from one thought and feeling to the next.

We often think of mind monkeys as something to control, trying to ignore, supress, or push them away. And while they can fuel frustration, lethargy, and self-defeating behaviour, our emotions also carry energy and valuable information. By learning to listen, understand, and soothe ourselves, we can harness their energy and wisdom.

Monkey therapy focuses on the psychological stuck points that get in the way of our happiness and fulfilment. Combining traditional talk therapy, brain-body approaches, and cutting-edge neuroprocessing therapies it works with our thoughts, feelings, bodily responses, and neurological patterns to make most of our monkey minds.

01

Talk therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy makes sense of your history, helps you change unhelpful patterns and discover healthier ways of being.

02

Brain-body work

Internal Family Systems and Somatic tools connect you to your innate calm, clarity, compassion, and strength so you can access them when you need them most.

03

Neuroprocessing

Brainspotting and EMDR techniques help the brain reprocess traumatic and stuck memories so they stop driving your present.
