About Tuesday

Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, sleep problems, anxiety and life changes. She offers a steady, down-to-earth presence and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things. Her approach is practical and warm, aimed at helping someone feel heard and better able to cope.

She trained to a BACP standard and has worked in therapeutic services for several years. That work included roles in the NHS where she used cognitive behavioural approaches, and roles supporting people affected by domestic violence, abuse and addiction. She also has experience with bereavement and family liaison work.

In sessions she treats each person as an individual. She uses an integrative style, choosing methods that suit the person in front of her rather than following a single technique. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours in the moment or looking at attachment and relationships that shape current patterns.

Her sessions combine practical tools and reflective conversation. Clients may learn ways to manage anxiety, change unhelpful habits, and develop healthier coping strategies. She also works with issues such as grief, relationship strain, eating concerns and compassion fatigue.

Outside direct sessions she keeps up professional development through workshops and seminars in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. People who want to start are invited to use the site process to match and book a session.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It encourages identifying values and taking small steps towards them, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and depression.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and coping. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and difficulties in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will listen to what matters most, try different techniques, and agree a plan with the client. The aim is to match methods to goals and preferences rather than imposing one style.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible for international clients to connect and for conversations to continue while adapting to everyday schedules.
