Tuesday Benfield offers a calm, down-to-earth approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. She writes plainly and listens without judgement, aiming to help clients make sense of what they are facing. Her manner is warm and practical, which can help people who want straightforward support and tools.
She trained with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holding a BACP-accredited diploma in integrative therapeutic counselling.
Background and approach
She has four years of experience in this practice setting and previously worked in therapeutic services within the NHS. That NHS work included cognitive behavioural therapy and bereavement support. Her background also includes roles in services tackling domestic violence, street outreach, rape and abuse support, and work with addictions and trauma.
She also spent many years in family liaison and emotional support coordination, and continues to attend professional workshops and seminars. In sessions she adapts her approach to the person in front of her. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness.
The aim is to use what fits each person rather than one fixed method. Practical goals can include making sense of painful experiences, improving coping strategies, and working towards longer-term change. She offers both shorter-term focused work and longer-term exploration, and helps clients choose the path that feels most useful.
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-based steps forward; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, abandonment and communication issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that suit the person. Sessions are collaborative, and approaches can be adapted over time if something isn’t working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their life. Video is helpful for deeper conversations, phone calls suit those with less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing support between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while still using the same therapeutic methods.
