About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma, eating and addiction issues, grief, parenting pressures, anger, and related difficulties. Her work is grounded in practical conversation and steady support rather than quick fixes.
She draws on client-centred principles, which means conversations focus on the person in front of her and their concerns. Sunshine also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are woven in for managing thoughts and behaviours that feed distress.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build more manageable ways of responding to stress and anger. She discusses everyday habits and thinking that keep problems cycling and offers concrete strategies to interrupt those patterns.
Her background includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in art and play therapy from the University of Cambridge. Sunshine has worked in community roles such as school governor and youth leader, which informs her practical approach to problems that involve families and caring roles.
She works from a stance that clients know their lives best and that therapy is a collaborative process. People who are tired of snapping, carrying resentment, or feeling stuck in repeating patterns may find her approach direct and steady.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can explore repeated patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect anger, trust and closeness. Client-centred work keeps the focus on the person’s experience, using open conversation to help clarify feelings and priorities. This approach is useful when someone wants straightforward reflection and practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behaviour that sustain problems; online CBT can include simple tasks and experiments to try between sessions to reduce reactivity and manage stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences and life circumstances. That conversation usually happens in early sessions and can be adjusted as work continues.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. It can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to shape sessions so they fit practical day-to-day demands.
