Tuesday Benfield , BACP

Tuesday Benfield is a BACP-accredited counsellor (BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) based in the United Kingdom who combines practical, down-to-earth support with an empathetic, client-focused style. She works from a private practice and brings NHS training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to an integrative approach that also draws on person-centred and mindfulness-informed methods. Her background includes bereavement counselling and work in areas such as domestic violence, street outreach, rape and abuse support, and addiction services, alongside experience supporting people with trauma, PTSD, OCD, anxiety and depression.

She approaches each person as an individual and aims to build trusting therapeutic relationships free from judgment. Using person-centred listening, she creates space for clients to explore difficult feelings, and she offers practical, present-focused strategies from CBT when helpful. She also incorporates attachment-informed ideas when working with relationship, abandonment or attachment-related concerns, tailoring methods to each client’s needs.

Tuesday offers both short- and long-term therapy for a wide range of issues including stress, intimacy and relationship difficulties, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, anger and career-related concerns. She maintains ongoing professional development through workshops and seminars in line with BACP standards and brings extensive experience as a family liaison and emotional support coordinator to her therapeutic work.

Therapeutic approaches for effective remote care

Tuesday integrates approaches that translate well to online work and suit a wide range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to address anxiety, depression, unhelpful patterns and day-to-day coping difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses, helping with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and family or relational difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy (also called person-centred) emphasises empathic listening and the therapeutic relationship, providing a supportive space to explore identity, grief, self-esteem and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tuesday works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and responsive. Licensed professionals and therapists can blend these approaches to match each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - allowing people to access consistent support around work, family and life schedules. Remote sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats and fit therapy into everyday life while working with an experienced therapist.
