Tuesday Benfield, BACP

Tuesday Benfield offers straightforward, compassionate counselling for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She aims to make the first steps simple and down to earth. Sessions focus on what is troubling you now and on practical ways to feel steadier. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental so conversations can feel honest and clear.

Tuesday brings four years of direct counselling experience and a BACP credential from training that included integrative therapeutic counselling. She has worked in NHS therapeutic services and spent time supporting people through bereavement, addiction, and trauma-related situations. That background informs how she listens and responds in sessions.

Her approach is integrative, which means she draws from different methods to suit each person. She often uses person-centred listening to create space, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and elements of mindfulness to build calm and focus. She describes her work as practical and relational rather than overly technical.

Clients can explore a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, self‑esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and career difficulty. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, body image and caregiving stress among others.

Sessions can be short or longer term depending on need. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The service uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions.

How chosen therapies work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small steps that match what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression and feeling stuck by shifting attention toward meaningful action. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand connection and trust issues in present relationships. Client‑Centred Therapy centres on the counselling relationship itself, offering non‑judgemental listening so people can make sense of difficult feelings and decide what to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those aims. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and allow a quicker check‑in when schedules are tight. It also allows focus on techniques like mindful breathing or thought records during a session without needing to commute. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt CBT, ACT and attachment‑based work to be effective in remote sessions while working with each person's practical needs and goals.
