About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. She works with adults facing trauma, depression, bipolar mood challenges, eating and addiction issues, and people coping with major life changes. Sunshine holds BACP accreditation and brings 13 years of clinical experience to conversations about wellbeing.
She practices in a warm, non-judgemental way that encourages people to speak openly about what troubles them.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and grounded in everyday language. Sunshine aims to help clients notice patterns, build coping skills and reconnect with their own strengths. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships.
She also uses client-centred listening so a person’s pace and priorities guide each session. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when clients want practical steps to manage anxiety, sleeping problems and unhelpful thinking. Sunshine pays attention to life story and meaning, using existential and Jungian perspectives when people want to explore identity, purpose or recurring life themes.
This can help with grief, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and body-image struggles. She keeps sessions focused and practical while allowing space for reflection. She is experienced supporting parents with parenting stress, people dealing with divorce and separation, and those affected by domestic violence or community disasters.
Sessions can address communication problems, codependency and commitment concerns alongside emotional symptoms such as anger or low self-esteem. Sunshine offers therapy through a variety of online formats and works with international clients in English. Her approach aims to balance practical tools with deeper personal insight so people can make steady, manageable changes.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and emotional patterns; this can help with intimacy problems, abandonment concerns and communication struggles. Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and follows the client's lead so people set the pace and topics for their sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers straightforward techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, sleeping problems and low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This collaborative planning helps people try practical tools while also attending to deeper personal themes when needed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit shorter contacts or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical support.
