Sunshine Goodfellow meets people where they are and helps them take small, clear steps forward. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and addiction concerns, grief, intimacy and sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem issues, as well as mood conditions such as bipolar and depression.

Sunshine is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Client-centred work means she listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about patterns in close relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with thoughts and day-to-day coping.

Sunshine has 13 years of experience working across many contexts in the United Kingdom. Her background includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in art and play therapy at the University of Cambridge. She has also contributed to local schools and youth projects as a governor and leader.

In sessions she aims to create an accepting space where people can talk plainly about what is hard for them. Practical tools and reflective conversation are blended so clients can notice change between sessions as well as during them. She works with parent concerns such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress and communication problems.

Other focused areas include abandonment, body image, codependency, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and coping with disasters. Sunshine offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. People can expect straightforward discussion, tailored strategies and a steady, compassionate presence while they work towards clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Sunshine commonly uses client-centred work to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and set the pace for sessions. This helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings before moving to practical change.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at patterns in close relationships. That approach helps people understand why they respond a certain way with partners or family, and it supports learning new ways to connect and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sunshine works together with each person to decide what fits best, adapting methods as needs, goals and preferences evolve. The collaboration helps keep therapy relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to consistent support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging can help people reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still keeping a steady therapeutic relationship with registered or accredited professionals.
