About Sunshine
BACP. 13 years' experience. Sunshine Goodfellow works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, addictions, grief, intimacy, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes including ADHD. She describes her approach using Attachment-Based, Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural and Jungian ideas, plus existential perspectives, to help people make sense of patterns and develop ways to cope.
Sunshine frames sessions around listening and practical reflection. She uses client-centred principles to follow what matters to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how they affect current feelings.
Her background includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. She also notes community roles such as school governor and youth leader as part of broader experience. The biography records BACP as a credential that guides ethical practice.
Sessions focus on talking, noticing recurring patterns in relationships and behaviour, and practising small changes between meetings. She mentions supporting people through trauma, relationship breakdown, bereavement, and complex life events using both conversational work and practical exercises.
Sunshine works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. The profile states she accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats with the service.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are used to set aims and decide how to work together. Costs vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How Sunshine's approaches are used in online counselling
Sunshine uses client-centred work to follow what matters to the person and create time to talk through immediate concerns and feelings. This approach helps with emotional clarity and finding personal solutions.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot thoughts and routines that keep problems going, and to practise small changes that reduce distress or improve sleep and mood. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then agree on ways of working together. This is a collaborative decision that can change as therapy progresses.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care for people living abroad or with busy schedules.
