Tuesday Benfield
Gentle, practical counselling for life problems
About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or relationship strain. She writes in a direct, approachable way and aims to make sessions feel simple and straightforward. Tuesday meets each person where they are and helps them find steps that fit their life.
She uses a blend of talking and practical tools. Sessions often focus on what is happening now and on finding small changes that make a difference.
Background and approach
Work can include spotting unhelpful thought patterns, practising grounding skills, and trying new ways to relate to others and to oneself. Tuesday has four years' experience as a counsellor and holds BACP. Her background includes work in therapeutic services and bereavement support.
She has experience with domestic violence, addiction and trauma-related issues, and has supported people through loss and separation. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career pressures and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and body image problems.
Clients may bring complex histories or single-issue worries for either short-term or longer-term work. In sessions she aims to be straightforward and non-judgemental. The tone is warm and down-to-earth.
Therapy is shaped to each person's needs, using different counselling approaches as useful. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier coping and practical steps forward.

Sessions & fees
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps. That collaborative process means sessions can shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions work well for people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or flexible support around busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring responsibilities or different time zones, and they allow registered or accredited professionals to offer help across distances.
