Tuesday Benfield, BACP

Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor who aims to put people at ease from the first contact. She presents as down to earth and approachable, and draws on many life experiences to connect with clients. Her style is open minded and non-judgemental, which helps people feel able to talk about difficult subjects like jealousy, loss or anxiety.

Tuesday uses an integrative approach and adapts what she does to each person. She often brings in person-centred listening and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to focus on current thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas can also appear in sessions when they suit what someone needs.

Her background includes a BACP accredited diploma in integrative therapeutic counselling and work in therapeutic services with the NHS. She has experience in bereavement support, domestic violence services, street work, rape and abuse recovery, and addiction work. That range informs her practical, empathetic way of working.

In sessions she offers both shorter and longer term therapy, depending on the issue and the person’s goals. She emphasises helping people understand what is happening for them and finding healthier coping strategies. Practical tools and space to explore feelings are both part of her practice.

Tuesday regularly attends workshops and seminars to keep up to date with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English, including with international clients.

How Tuesday’s approaches can work online

Tuesday draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports actions that fit what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on current thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test ideas and agree which methods feel most useful. Sessions can shift over time as needs and goals change, with both exploration and more structured tasks available.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need for a long commute. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to deliver the same conversational and practical tools they use in person, helping people work on stress, anxiety, grief, jealousy and other everyday concerns while fitting sessions into their routine.
