About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, eating and addiction issues, grief, and problems with intimacy and sleep. Sunshine also supports clients dealing with parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar and depression, ADHD and wider life changes. She lists codependency among her focus areas and helps people explore how that affects their relationships and choices.
Sunshine uses several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. She draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred methods make room for a person’s own pace and priorities while Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Jungian and existential ideas can also appear in sessions for people wanting meaning-focused exploration.
Her training includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. Sunshine holds BACP registration, which she follows in her professional practice. Her background also includes community roles such as school governor and youth leader, which inform her practical approach to everyday problems.
In sessions Sunshine aims for straightforward, practical steps alongside reflective work. She supports people to notice patterns, try different responses, and build safer ways of relating. The overall aim is more balance, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of self.
If someone wants to start, the usual first step is to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Sunshine often combines attachment-based work and client-centred listening when helping people online. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice repeated ways of relating. Client-centred work gives space for the person’s own priorities and pace, so the counsellor follows what matters most to the client.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sunshine treats approach selection as a collaboration. Together they will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what is helpful and comfortable for the client.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and removing travel time so people can use short breaks for a check-in. Online work can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when life circumstances change. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can still bring attachment, client-centred and CBT tools into online sessions to help with relationship patterns, anxiety, mood, and day-to-day coping.
