About Tuesday

Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of recent experience. She focuses on common early-adulthood pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship and career worries, and issues linked to trauma and addiction. She also lists work with self-esteem, ADHD, grief and sleeping or eating concerns.

She trained via a BACP-accredited diploma in integrative therapeutic counselling and has worked in NHS therapeutic services. Her background includes bereavement counselling, work around domestic violence, rape and abuse, street outreach, and supporting people with addiction. She describes long experience in family liaison and emotional support coordination.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches and selects methods that suit each person. She draws on person-centred practice to focus on the counselling relationship and on cognitive behavioural techniques to address current thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas also inform her work when helpful.

Her style is straightforward and down-to-earth. She says she treats people as individuals and avoids judgement. Practical tools and conversational exploration are both part of how she helps people make changes and cope day to day.

She offers both short- and long-term work and keeps up continuing professional development through workshops and seminars. For people juggling study, first jobs, moving away from home or the other pressures of early adulthood, she aims to help identify manageable steps and coping strategies.

If you’re based in the United Kingdom and speak English, the initial process is to use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals and session length.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than being driven by avoidance. It can help with anxiety, low motivation and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at present thoughts and behaviours and uses practical strategies to change patterns that maintain worry, low mood or unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy highlights how earlier relationships affect current connections and can help with intimacy, trust and abandonment concerns.

Working out which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide whether to use ACT, CBT, attachment ideas or a mix depending on the issue and what the client prefers.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study and work, avoid travel, and use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Some methods like CBT or ACT translate well to remote work because they use practical exercises, worksheets and planned behavioural steps that can be done between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help clients find approaches that suit everyday life and routines.
