Tuesday Benfield , BACP

Tuesday Benfield is a down-to-earth counsellor who brings an open mind and a practical, empathetic presence to her work. She holds a BACP-accredited diploma in integrative therapeutic counselling - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has trained in cognitive behavioural therapy while working in therapeutic services for the NHS. Her background includes bereavement counselling and experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, street work, sexual abuse, addictions, trauma and a range of mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, OCD and PTSD.

She takes an integrative approach, drawing on person-centred principles and CBT techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Tuesday treats people as individuals, creating space to explore feelings and patterns without judgment while offering practical strategies when helpful. She regularly engages in continuing professional development and attends workshops and seminars in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy to keep her practice current.

In both short-term and longer-term work she aims to help clients make sense of confusing or distressing experiences, develop healthier coping mechanisms and, where needed, address difficult life events such as loss, relationship challenges, addiction or parenting stress. Her style is professional yet human, combining empathy with achievable therapeutic tools to support lasting change.
