About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. She writes in a warm, down-to-earth way and aims to make it easy to talk about difficult things. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
She is a BACP counsellor with a background that includes work in the NHS and independent practice. That experience covers bereavement support, domestic violence, addictions, trauma and other complex life challenges.
Background and approach
She also spent many years in family liaison and emotional support roles which shaped her practical approach to helping people cope. Her style is straightforward and non-judgemental. She treats each person as an individual and adapts what she does to fit their needs.
In sessions she uses listening, gentle challenge and agreed strategies to help people feel clearer and more able to manage day-to-day life. Tuesday integrates several therapy approaches so the work can be short or longer term. She draws on person-centred ideas to build the relationship, and uses cognitive techniques and mindfulness to work on thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-focused thinking also inform her work when relevant. People contact her about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, grief, parenting stress, addiction, ADHD and body image or eating issues. She can also help with work-related pressure, anger, sleep problems and life transitions.
If you want a calm, practical counsellor who adapts to you, she is likely to be a good fit.

How Tuesday works online
Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with the client to agree what to try first, and will adjust methods as the work progresses. That means sessions can combine listening, practical exercises and simple tools to help with day-to-day coping and longer-term goals.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing quicker check-ins between commitments. It can also suit people who prefer practising mindfulness and breathing exercises in their own rhythm. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss how to make sessions work for schedules and needs, and how to set realistic goals you can work on between meetings.
