About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' counselling experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career pressures and anger.
She describes herself as down-to-earth and open-minded. She draws on a range of life and work experience to relate to different situations people bring to counselling. That background includes work in bereavement, domestic violence support, street outreach, and services for sexual assault and abuse.
Her training includes a BACP-accredited diploma in integrative therapeutic counselling and experience delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy within NHS therapeutic services. She has also carried out family liaison and emotional support work for many years and continues professional development through workshops and seminars.
In sessions she uses an integrative approach. That means she chooses methods to suit the person in front of her. She often uses person-centred ideas to focus on the counselling relationship and CBT techniques to address current thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Tuesday offers both shorter and longer-term work. She aims to help people understand what might be driving their reactions and to practice practical coping strategies. The focus is on clearer thinking, different responses to difficult situations, and developing ways of managing feelings such as anger or overwhelm.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. International clients can be accepted and sessions are delivered in English.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them, then take small steps aligned with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulties that keep coming back. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on current thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change patterns that feed anger or worry. It suits short-term goals and skills practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present reactions and can help when relationship patterns or trust issues are causing repeated conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt as the work progresses, so the approach reflects the client's experience and aims.
Confirm current session formats when booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, allow quieter check-ins that do not need video, or let someone keep a short appointment during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use these flexible arrangements to help people practise new responses and coping strategies in everyday life.
