Sunshine Goodfellow , BACP

Sunshine Goodfellow is a UK-based licensed therapist with 13 years of professional experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through difficult life transitions and emotional pain. She offers compassionate, nonjudgmental care for people navigating trauma, relationship conflict, grief, eating and addictive behaviours, mood differences, and a wide range of everyday stresses that affect wellbeing.

Sunshine describes therapy as a sanctuary where people can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. She honours the courage it takes to seek support and aims to create an environment in which clients feel genuinely heard and respected. Working in a collaborative, autonomy-respecting way, she helps clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build practices that promote balance and presence.

Her clinical lens draws on evidence-informed approaches and integrative practice. Sunshine is trained at Anglia Ruskin University and completed postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings experience from community roles such as school governor and youth leader to her therapeutic work.

Sunshine is committed to inclusive, culturally sensitive care. She supports people across a broad spectrum of challenges - from attachment and family issues to anxiety, parenting stress, and identity-related concerns - and focuses on helping clients move toward greater wholeness, resilience, and meaningful connection.

Attachment, Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Sunshine Goodfellow draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and ongoing relationships shape patterns of connection and security. This approach helps people understand relational needs, repair attachment injuries, and improve closeness and trust in current relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises the client’s perspective and promotes growth through empathy, acceptance, and collaborative reflection. This method supports people working through identity questions, life transitions, and issues where being heard and understood is central.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is incorporated when focused work on thoughts, behaviours, and emotional patterns will be helpful. CBT techniques can assist with anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, and practical coping strategies for everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sunshine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Sunshine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and time zones while maintaining continuity of support and therapeutic momentum.
