About Sunshine

Sunshine Goodfellow welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or change. She introduces herself simply and directly so worried readers can decide if she might be a good match. Sunshine uses a warm, non-judgemental style and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

She has 13 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in the room and on practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Sunshine also pays attention to deeper meaning and life themes using existential and Jungian ideas when that is helpful. This can support people wrestling with identity, loss, or long-standing family patterns.

She uses simple exercises, reflective conversation and practical planning rather than jargon-heavy theory. Her practice includes support for a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, eating and addiction issues, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem problems. She also works with mood disorders and neurodiverse presentations including ADHD and bipolar conditions, helping people manage symptoms and daily routines.

Sessions are offered in English and can be taken from wherever a client is based in the United Kingdom or internationally. Sunshine aims to create an accepting space where people can explore their past and test new ways of living.

Online support

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people understand their needs and practice new ways of connecting with others. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work and focuses on being heard and understood; it suits people who need a steady, accepting space to talk things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses clear steps and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, making it useful for anxiety, sleeping problems and mood management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to find what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and trying something short term to see if it helps.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is useful. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit sessions into a busy life.
