About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of stated experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem problems, ADHD, addictions and relationship or family difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career questions, depression and coping with life changes.
Tuesday describes an open, down-to-earth approach. She says she draws on many life experiences to connect with a wide range of people. Sessions are presented as a place to talk through what is worrying someone, notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical ways to respond. The focus can be short-term or longer term depending on needs.
Her practice is integrative. That means she uses a mix of approaches to fit each person - including cognitive behavioural techniques for working with present thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and person-centred work that focuses on the counselling relationship. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking and mindfulness tools where helpful.
Background includes a BACP-accredited diploma in integrative therapeutic counselling and several years working in NHS therapeutic services, including bereavement work and support around domestic violence, abuse and addictions. Tuesday notes ongoing professional development through workshops and seminars.
In sessions she aims to help people identify patterns, practice different responses and develop coping strategies. The practical work often involves noticing thoughts and behaviours, trying small changes and checking what helps. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment so sessions can be scheduled.
How CBT, ACT and attachment thinking work in online sessions
Tuesday uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test small, practical changes that can alter reactions. CBT is focused on the here-and-now and suits worries about anxiety, mood and patterns of behaviour.She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, which invite people to notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and to clarify what matters to them. ACT can help when someone wants to act differently despite difficult inner experiences. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy and trust issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences together and agree on practical steps. This collaborative process helps pick which techniques to use and how therapy sessions should be structured.
Session formats are not listed explicitly in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. They also make it possible to work with a registered professional from a different location while focusing on practical strategies and exercises that translate into day-to-day life.
