About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor who aims to make therapy feel straightforward and down to earth. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so people can talk about what is worrying them. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she works to build trust so clients can explore difficult feelings at their own pace.
She trained with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holding a BACP accreditation. That training and years of NHS work inform how she plans sessions and supports people.
Background and approach
She has experience in bereavement counselling and worked across services dealing with domestic violence, abuse, addiction and trauma. Tuesday uses a flexible, integrative approach. She draws on person-centred ideas to keep the relationship central.
She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to focus on current thoughts and behaviours that cause distress, and she includes mindfulness and attachment-based ideas when they fit the person’s needs. In practice she offers both short-term and longer-term therapy. Sessions aim to clarify what is causing pain, build coping skills, and look for steps that feel manageable.
Many people come to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief or difficulties around self-esteem and identity. Her background includes work as a family liaison and emotional support coordinator, plus several years in NHS therapeutic services. She continues professional development through workshops and seminars to keep her practice current.
The overall aim is to help people find clearer ways of coping and to make small, sustainable changes.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with a person about their goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time so sessions remain relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people share a face-to-face experience from wherever they are, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
