About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor who aims to make talking about difficult things feel manageable. She brings a warm, down-to-earth manner to sessions and listens without judgement. Her style is straightforward and calm, helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes to find steadier ground.
She trained to a BACP standard and has four years of practice alongside longer NHS experience in therapeutic services. That background includes supporting people through bereavement, domestic violence, abuse, addiction and trauma.
Background and approach
This mix of work has informed a practical, people-focused way of working in her independent practice. Sessions centre on the person in front of her. She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method, picking what fits each person’s needs.
That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours in the here and now or attending to past attachment and relationship patterns that still affect daily life. In practical terms she offers short- and long-term counselling and uses tools from cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment thinking, mindfulness and client-centred practice.
Conversations move between exploring feelings and trying simple strategies that can be used between sessions. Her aim is to help people understand what is happening for them and to develop healthier ways of coping. She encourages small, steady changes and helps clients find what works for them, whether addressing sleep and eating difficulties, addiction, relationship stresses, grief or parenting strain.
Approaches that suit an online setting
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change them, which can reduce worry and improve sleep or mood. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first and creates a non-judgemental space for exploring feelings and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will listen to what matters to the client and try different methods to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process where goals and preferences guide which tools are used.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different needs. Video calls are useful for a conversational format that closely resembles in-person therapy. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a focus on voice feels better. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief support between sessions or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel.
