About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a counsellor with 13 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and sleep difficulties. She works with individuals on issues including trauma, addiction, eating concerns, anger and self-esteem. Sunshine also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career changes, bipolar and ADHD-related challenges. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.
Sunshine uses an open, respectful style and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk. She draws on client-centred ways of working to follow each person’s pace and priorities. This means the person’s own experience shapes the conversation rather than a fixed agenda.
Her background includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. Sunshine also has experience as a youth leader and school governor, which she says keeps her grounded in everyday family and community concerns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
In sessions she combines attachment-focused thinking with cognitive-behavioural tools and elements of existential and Jungian ideas. That mix is used to help people make sense of patterns, manage unhelpful thoughts, and connect more deeply with their values. Practical steps and small daily practices are brought into work when useful to build steadier sleep and rest routines.
Her approach emphasises collaboration. She asks questions, listens for what matters to each person, and checks in about goals. To begin, readers are advised to use the service buttons to complete the short questionnaire and arrange a first meeting according to the therapist’s scheduling options.
How Sunshine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work helps people understand patterns formed in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds shape current responses and supports building steadier ways of relating and feeling safe in relationships.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, career choices or parenting stress.
Cognitive-behavioural techniques examine unhelpful thoughts and routines and suggest practical steps to change them. They are often used to manage anxiety, mood concerns and sleep problems by introducing small behavioural experiments and new habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options with each person, test what feels helpful and adjust methods based on goals and personal preferences. That makes the process collaborative rather than fixed.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around day-to-day life - for example, shorter check-ins can suit busy schedules, video or phone can reduce travel time, and remote sessions can help maintain continuity when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, relaxation practices and sleep-focused routines to the online setting so they work in everyday life.
