About Sunshine

Sunshine Goodfellow offers calm, steady support for people facing difficult life moments. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, and many day-to-day struggles. Sunshine writes plainly and listens closely to help someone find practical ways forward.

She practises from a client-centred perspective that treats each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on what feels most useful to the individual - from short-term coping strategies to deeper self-understanding.

Background and approach

Her work draws on attachment thinking to improve how people relate to others and to themselves. Sunshine has 13 years of professional experience and lists the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, as a credential. She has a background in art and play therapy from postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge and earlier study at Anglia Ruskin University.

Her practice includes support for issues such as eating concerns, addictions, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also addresses complex topics like trauma, domestic violence, abandonment and attachment difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and can adapt to different personal needs.

People can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where practical steps are balanced with reflective work. Sunshine aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them and to find ways of living that feel more steady and meaningful.

Ways of working Sunshine names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How attachment and client-centred work translate online

Sunshine commonly uses client-centred and attachment-informed ideas in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and helping people name what they want to change; online this looks like clear, person-led conversations and practical next steps. Attachment-based work concentrates on how past relationships shape current patterns, helping people improve how they connect and feel supported with others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust techniques so they suit individual needs. This collaborative planning means sessions can combine practical skills, reflective work, and relationship-focused exploration as required.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual materials, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can fit short check-ins or moments when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress and real-life application.
