About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a BACP-registered counsellor with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing relationship strains, anxiety, depression and life changes. She is also experienced in work linked to adoption and foster care and related attachment concerns.
Sunshine uses a client-centred stance that values each person's knowledge of their own life. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with room to talk about emotions, patterns and everyday challenges. She emphasises steady, achievable steps rather than dramatic fixes.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes. She also weaves in existential and Jungian perspectives when people want to explore meaning, identity and deeper life questions.
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 inform her practical outlook.
People come to her for help with parenting stress, grief, addiction, eating concerns, sleep problems and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports those coping with trauma, abandonment, blended family challenges and domestic violence. Work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to the chosen booking system.
Approaches that shape online work and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect how people connect now and can help with difficulties in close relationships and attachment worries. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and creating space so people can find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) examines thinking patterns and tries small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful habits.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to learn about your goals, needs and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan as you see what helps.
The practical benefits of online work can include greater flexibility to fit sessions around family and work, and easier access for international clients. Different formats suit different needs, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for shorter check-ins or regular weekly work that fits into a busy life.
