Jacintha Field
Family and Child Counsellor
Jacintha Field is a family and child counsellor, art therapist, writer, and founder of Happy Souls Kids, a platform teaching emotional regulation, resilience, and mindfulness through the voices of athletes, artists, and role models children genuinely look up to.
Her work began after a difficult separation, when her son Axel was struggling and support services were overwhelmed. She went back to study, built a private practice, and saw the same pattern everywhere — long waitlists, exhausted families, and children trying to make sense of big feelings without the tools.
Happy Souls Kids was created to bridge that gap, blending clinical insight with storytelling and gamification, co-designed with Axel to ensure every lesson feels real and relatable.
Jacintha has been featured across major media outlets, and her writing centres on connection, resilience, and parenting in a digital world. Her mission is to help 100,000 children feel safe in their emotions by 2027.
