About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield offers a calm, down-to-earth presence for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes and complex emotions. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make sessions feel approachable and non-judgemental. Her style suits someone who wants to talk things through and find practical ways to manage feelings and behaviour.
She trained with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds an accredited diploma in integrative therapeutic counselling. She has worked for the NHS in therapeutic services and has experience across bereavement support, domestic violence, addiction services and trauma-related work. That background informs how she listens and responds in sessions.
Her practice is integrative, which means she draws on a few different methods to match what each person needs. She often uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, and person-centred ways of emphasising the counselling relationship. Mindfulness and attachment-informed thinking also inform her work when helpful.
In sessions she offers both short- and long-term therapy depending on what someone wants. She focuses on helping people understand difficult patterns, build healthier coping strategies and work towards practical change. She also lists adoption and foster care among areas she pays particular attention to, alongside issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns.
She accepts clients from outside the UK and runs a private practice alongside other roles she has held. To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can focus on actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses, helping people understand connection and trust issues. This can be helpful for abandonment or adoption and foster care related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to test what helps most, adjusting methods to match your goals and what feels workable in weekly sessions. Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflection and practical exercises agreed together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow sessions from wherever you are based. It also lets the therapist and client try brief check-ins or longer therapeutic conversations according to what suits your routine and needs.
