Sunshine Goodfellow
Support for stress, relationships and life changes
About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She speaks plainly and helps people make small practical shifts that improve daily life. Her approach aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful from the first session.
Sunshine draws on 13 years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which she follows in her practice. She uses practical talking therapy alongside reflective approaches that help people connect with their inner experience and values.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and gradual steps forward. Her background includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in art and play therapy at the University of Cambridge. She has also been involved in community roles such as school governor and youth leader, which inform how she thinks about family and community stresses.
In sessions she typically blends client-centred listening with attachment-based ideas and cognitive techniques. That means people can expect to be heard, to notice unhelpful patterns, and to try straightforward changes in thinking or behaviour. Jungian and existential perspectives are also available for those wanting deeper meaning-focused work.
Sunshine aims to create an inclusive space where people can talk about relationships, grief, trauma, addiction, eating and body-image concerns, parenting strain, work pressures, and mood difficulties such as depression or bipolar challenges. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

How Sunshine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and safety. Online sessions use gentle conversation to identify attachment patterns and help people try different ways of relating to others and themselves, useful for relationship strain and intimacy concerns.Client-Centred Therapy centres on being listened to without judgement. In this work the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflecting back what is said and supporting self-directed change; this approach helps with low self-esteem, grief and life adjustments.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. Online CBT sessions include practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sunshine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt her methods in a collaborative way. Clients and therapist review progress and change direction when needed.
Online therapy provides flexibility across video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports short updates or reflective exercises between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and everyday life.
