Sunshine Goodfellow

Sunshine Goodfellow is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and other painful life issues. She works with individuals who are struggling with bereavement, addiction, eating concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, or major life changes. Sunshine also supports clients facing challenges linked to ADHD, bipolar and depression, and those wrestling with intimacy and career worries.

She uses a mix of approaches in sessions and focuses on what each person needs in the moment. Sunshine draws on attachment-based ideas to look at connection patterns, client-centred ways to follow a person's pace, and cognitive behavioural techniques to work on thoughts and behaviour. She also brings existential thinking and elements of Jungian practice when exploring meaning, identity and personal symbols.

Sunshine trained at Anglia Ruskin University and completed postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. Her background includes community roles such as school governor and youth leader, which shaped her interest in supporting people across different life stages.

She has around 13 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sunshine aims to create an inclusive, culturally aware space where people can feel seen and heard as they talk through difficult subjects.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Sunshine often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour, which can help with intimacy, codependency and trust issues. Client-centred practice means she follows the person's lead, offering empathy and space to speak without rushing, useful for people who need steady emotional support. Cognitive behavioural techniques are practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the approach as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.

The biography does not list specific online session types, so check the booking information to confirm current options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Registered and accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep sessions practical and focused on day-to-day change.
