About Sunshine

Sunshine Goodfellow welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She helps individuals who are facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, or big life changes to find steadier ground. Sunshine writes plainly and listens carefully, aiming to make each session feel practical and hopeful.

Sunshine holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, BACP, and brings 13 years of experience to her work. She frames therapy around the person's own strengths and values. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, small daily practices, and ways to handle strong emotions and difficult conversations.

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. This mix supports people coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, and relationship problems. She also works with concerns such as body image, parenting strain, abandonment, and recovery after domestic violence or other trauma.

Sunshine aims to create an inclusive, culturally aware space where people feel respected. She uses gentle prompts, practical tools, and reflective conversation to help clients spot patterns and try new ways of responding. The work can include short exercises, reflecting on relationship dynamics, and building routines that support sleep and mood.

If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Sunshine accepts enquiries from people in the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer English. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Sunshine’s approaches translate to online work

Sunshine commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work in online sessions. Attachment-based approaches look at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour, helping people rework painful patterns and feel more secure. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard without judgement and supporting each person to find their own solutions.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to offer straightforward tools for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. CBT helps break unhelpful thinking and builds practical routines that make day-to-day life easier. Together these approaches combine emotional understanding with steps you can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sunshine works collaboratively to match methods to your needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options early on and adapt the work if something isn’t helping.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use fewer technical demands, or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
