About Tuesday

Tuesday Benfield works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, addiction, ADHD and other life challenges using an integrative counselling approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and person-centred ideas. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years’ experience in counselling roles alongside broader work history in related support services.

She offers a straightforward, down-to-earth style and treats people as individuals. Sessions focus on talking through current difficulties, identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and trying practical ways to manage day-to-day problems. The emphasis is on collaboration and finding approaches that suit each person.

Tuesday trained in an integrative diploma in therapeutic counselling and has worked in NHS therapeutic services, including bereavement support and CBT-based work. She has also worked in settings involving domestic violence, rape and abuse support, street outreach, and addiction services. Her background includes family liaison and emotional support coordination spanning many years.

Her practice includes short- and long-term counselling, and she uses a mix of methods depending on what a client needs. That can mean looking at present thoughts and behaviours with CBT, focusing on the counselling relationship with person-centred ideas, or drawing on mindfulness and attachment perspectives where helpful.

She keeps up continuing professional development through workshops and seminars in line with BACP guidance. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients; fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and remote working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that fit their values; it is often used for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at current patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful cycles, commonly applied for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and some trauma-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then use a mix of methods to suit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The original biography did not specify particular session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel by removing commute time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also allows choices such as shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that suits a client better.
