Tuesday Benfield

Tuesday Benfield is a down-to-earth, friendly counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings an open mind and a breadth of life experience to her work. She sees each person as unique and aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports honest exploration and personal growth.

She holds a BACP-accredited diploma in integrative therapeutic counselling and works in private practice. Tuesday was NHS trained in cognitive behaviour therapy and has six years of experience working within NHS therapeutic services. Her background also includes bereavement counselling and roles supporting families, including 15 years as a family liaison and emotional support coordinator. Her work has involved domestic violence support, street work, and responding to rape and abuse, and she continues her professional development through regular workshops and seminars in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Tuesday works with a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and ADHD, as well as addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career and life changes, depression, coping strategies, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience supporting people with trauma-related conditions such as PTSD and with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Her approach is integrative and person-centred, combining empathy and practical techniques to suit the individual. She draws primarily on person-centred principles to centre the counselling relationship, and on CBT to address present thoughts, feelings and behaviours, using whichever theory best fits the client’s needs. Tuesday aims to offer both short- and long-term therapy, providing a professional yet humane space to explore what may be causing distress and to develop healthier coping strategies and longer-term change.
