About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, eating concerns, addictions and life changes.
Sunshine draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She invites clients to reflect on meaning and choice while noticing patterns that come from past attachments. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in how someone actually lives day to day.
Background and approach
Her background includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in art and play therapy at the University of Cambridge. Sunshine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which guides her professional practice. In therapy she uses practical exercises alongside listening and reflection.
That might mean looking at how thoughts and behaviours link, practising mindfulness, or using creative ways to express difficult feelings. The aim is to help people gain more choice in how they respond to stress and relationships. She has experience supporting people with attachment concerns, blended family issues, parenting strain and those coping with abandonment or adoption and foster care histories.
Her approach is intended to be inclusive and culturally aware, helping clients feel heard and respected. If someone wants a conversational, reflective space to work through problems, Sunshine focuses on helping them reconnect with their own values and strengths. Therapy is a collaborative process that unfolds at the client's pace.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Existential therapy invites people to consider meaning, choice and personal values. Online sessions can help someone talk through what matters to them and how they want to live, which suits issues like anxiety, depression and life transitions.Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns that began in close relationships and how they show up now. In video or phone conversations the counsellor helps identify those patterns and practise new ways of relating that can ease relationship and parenting pressures.
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the process and prioritises listening and acceptance. This approach supports people who need a calm, non-judgemental space to sort through feelings about identity, loss or self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods accordingly. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life and keep continuity between sessions.
