About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes. She works with those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, as well as issues around eating, addiction, sleep and self-esteem. Sunshine also supports people navigating parenting pressures, career worries, ADHD and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Sunshine uses an approachable style that centres the person's experience. She listens first and follows the client's lead, helping them notice patterns and make practical changes. That might mean short skills work, reflective conversations, or exploring deeper personal meaning. Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded in daily life rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. These experiences inform a flexible way of working that can include creative and experiential elements when helpful. She has also taken on roles in community settings, such as school governor and youth leader, which shape her interest in wider family and community stresses.
With 13 years of experience she brings steady support to complex concerns. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful. Clients can expect a respectful, culturally aware space where their priorities guide the work.

Approaches that shape online counselling
Sunshine often draws on attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships affect current connections and emotional patterns; this can help with relationship problems, attachment difficulties and long-standing trust issues. She also uses client-centred principles, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments for change, useful for anxiety, mood and stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different options with the client and decide collaboratively which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This teamwork makes it easier to try approaches that fit day-to-day life and revise them if they are not helping.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are available before booking as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it simpler to involve creative or reflective exercises during a session. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists vary in how they run remote work, so confirm session arrangements when you match and schedule.
