About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma, eating and addictive behaviours, grief, sleep problems, parenting pressures, anger and related issues. She also supports people facing mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, and those coping with life changes and ADHD.
Sunshine practises from approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centred methods, and cognitive behavioural ideas alongside existential and Jungian influences. In sessions she focuses on practical steps as well as reflection. Conversations tend to look at patterns in relationships, emotional triggers, and everyday routines that reinforce distress.
Her background includes postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge and undergraduate study at Anglia Ruskin University. She has worked in community roles such as school governor and youth leader, which inform how she thinks about family and parenting pressures.
She describes her role as supporting people to notice how their history and current relationships shape reactions like anger or avoidance. Work can include learning calming techniques, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and trying different ways of relating to others. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what someone wants to change.
Sunshine accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sunshine draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape anger and emotional reactions. This approach helps when patterns repeat in close relationships or when trust and boundaries feel difficult.She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s experience and pace. That means sessions focus on what the client notices and wants to change rather than following a strict checklist.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) features as a practical strand for people who want tools to manage strong feelings. CBT-style work breaks down triggers, thoughts and behaviours and tests small changes in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work itself. The therapist and client decide together which methods will fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as therapy continues.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting conversations around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep regular contact and practise coping strategies between meetings.
