About Tuesday

Tuesday Benfield is a BACP counsellor who aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward. She presents as down-to-earth and friendly, and she wants people to feel heard without judgement. Her style is practical and warm, with emphasis on building trust so conversations can be honest and useful.

She has worked in therapeutic roles within the NHS and in private practice. That experience includes bereavement support, domestic violence work, street outreach, and services for people affected by rape and abuse. She also has background supporting people with addiction, anxiety, depression and trauma-related difficulties.

Tuesday uses an integrative way of working, drawing on different approaches to suit each person. She often uses person-centred listening to create a respectful relationship, cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours in the here and now, and mindfulness to help people manage stress and emotion.

Clients come for help with everyday strains such as stress, sleep problems, career pressure, parenting and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with deeper issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, dissociation, grief and domestic violence impacts.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside space to talk. Tuesday aims to help people identify coping options, try out new ways of responding, and make changes that fit their life. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Tuesday blends approaches for online work

Tuesday commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helping people online. ACT focuses on values and taking actions that matter even when thoughts are difficult, and it can help with stress, anxiety and feelings of emptiness. CBT looks at current thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical experiments to reduce distress and build new patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so readers should confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes access possible for people who live further away or who prefer not to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT tasks to work well in sessions conducted remotely.
