About Tuesday
Tuesday Benfield is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain and life changes. She writes plainly and listens with an open mind. Her style is down-to-earth and approachable, so parents can talk about what is worrying them without jargon.
She brings four years of professional experience alongside a BACP accreditation. Much of her earlier work was in NHS therapeutic services, where she supported people with anxiety, depression and trauma.
Background and approach
That background also included supporting those affected by domestic violence, bereavement and addiction issues. Tuesday describes her way of working as integrative. She uses a few different approaches so sessions match what each person needs.
Sessions often focus on what matters now, how thoughts and actions connect, and how to build coping ways that fit daily family life. In practical terms she offers both short and longer-term counselling. Conversations are non-judgemental and paced to each person.
She helps people untangle difficult feelings and explore small, realistic changes that can ease daily strain. Her ongoing professional development includes regular workshops and seminars in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That keeps her practice current and responsive to people facing parenting challenges and other life stresses.

Approaches that suit online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, parenting stress and decisions about change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape emotional responses and relationships, and it can be useful when someone is worried about connection, separation or patterns passed down through families. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions, emphasising listening, empathy and respect so people can make sense of their experience at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time to fit changing needs.
Online therapy can be easier to fit into busy family schedules. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions and a way to reflect in writing. These options give flexibility while keeping focus on practical steps and emotional support.
