Tuesday Benfield, BACP

Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor with four years' experience and BACP accreditation working in the United Kingdom. She supports adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and parenting concerns among other issues. Sessions are described as straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people talk through what is worrying them and find manageable ways forward.

She draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That means conversations can range from looking at current thoughts and behaviours to exploring how past relationships affect present patterns. Tuesday says she uses person-centred listening alongside cognitive work and other approaches to match what each person needs.

Her background includes work in therapeutic services and bereavement support. She has experience in settings that have involved domestic violence, sexual assault, addictions, and street work. She also spent many years in family liaison and emotional support roles, which informs how she responds to people with complex emotional histories.

In sessions she aims to be down to earth and direct. People can expect a practical focus on coping strategies and thought patterns, alongside space to reflect on attachment and relationship themes when those are relevant. She offers both shorter-term problem-focused work and longer-term therapeutic conversations.

Tuesday keeps up professional development through workshops and activity with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with adults who want help with parenting stress, relationship strain, self-esteem, trauma, compulsive behaviours and the everyday load of caring for others.
