Tuesday Benfield

Tuesday Benfield works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, addiction and self-esteem. Her style is down to earth and straightforward, which helps people relax and talk honestly about hard things.

She brings a mix of life experience and four years of counselling practice to sessions. Tuesday holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accreditation and runs a private practice in the United Kingdom. She has worked in bereavement support and has experience in services addressing domestic violence, sexual violence, addiction and trauma.

Her approach is integrative, so she adapts methods to fit each person. She draws on person-centred work to prioritise the counselling relationship and on cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness and attachment-focused ways of working are also part of what she uses when helpful.

In sessions she aims to offer an open, non-judgemental space where people can make sense of difficult feelings. She can work with short-term goals and longer-term exploration depending on what someone needs. Tuesday also continues professional development through workshops and seminars to keep her practice current with BACP guidance.

If someone wants to begin, the usual route is to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move someone towards a clearer life direction, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand recurring difficulties in close relationships and learn different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options in collaboration with the client, matching methods to goals, needs and preferences rather than using one fixed method. This means sessions can include practical exercises, reflective conversation or skills practice depending on what suits the person.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose quieter times that suit their routine. Many people find that working this way still allows meaningful change when they and their therapist agree on clear goals and tasks between sessions.
