About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor who aims to make therapy practical and approachable. She writes in a down-to-earth way and tries to create a calm, non-judgemental space. Her manner is friendly and straightforward, which can help people feel heard and understood from the start.
She draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs, including somatic work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Sessions focus on what is happening now in your body, thoughts and relationships, while also looking at patterns from the past that still affect you.
Background and approach
That mix helps with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and self-esteem concerns. Tuesday has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked across a range of settings including bereavement support, domestic violence, addiction services and NHS therapeutic teams, and has experience with trauma, OCD, depression and related issues.
In sessions she aims to be practical and personal. Conversations are guided by the client’s priorities and may include grounding and body-based techniques, values work, or cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts. She offers both short- and long-term therapy depending on the situation.
People who contact her often want help managing upsetting memories, calming anxiety, improving intimacy and boundaries, or finding new ways to cope after loss or big life changes. She accepts international clients and runs sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
How her approaches work online and in the body
Somatic work focuses on body sensations and movement to help people notice how stress and trauma show up physically; it can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses and feeling disconnected from the body. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises values and small committed actions, helping people move toward what matters despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current trust, closeness and security.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then use a combination of somatic techniques, ACT and attachment ideas as appropriate. That collaborative decision helps tailor sessions to what actually helps you feel safer and more able to cope.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact from home, phone sessions remove the need for cameras, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still using body-based exercises, values work and cognitive tools adapted for remote delivery.
