Sunshine Goodfellow, BACP

Sunshine Goodfellow is a BACP counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people feel and act. She welcomes people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns and other common life struggles. Her tone is warm and direct, and she encourages small, practical changes that can make daily life easier to manage.

She draws on 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and has a background that includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. Sunshine uses client-centred principles that treat each person as the expert on their own life, while also bringing in attachment ideas to look at how early relationships still affect today’s patterns.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to notice and adjust thought and habit patterns that keep problems going. Sunshine also works with existential and Jungian ideas to help people find meaning, values and deeper self-understanding when life feels confusing or stuck.

Her approach tends to be practical and exploratory rather than directive. Sessions often include talking through current difficulties, noticing everyday habits, and trying small experiments between meetings. Sunshine aims to help people build steadier routines, clearer communication, and better ways of coping with change.

People can expect a calm, culturally aware space where attention is given to both immediate struggles and longer-term questions about identity and connection. The focus on thoughts and everyday habits means the work often links small daily shifts to larger emotional and relational change.

How approaches and online sessions can fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and trust. It helps when worries or conflict repeat in close relationships, or when past losses affect how someone connects today.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. This approach supports people who need a steady space to make sense of feelings and to find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or habit changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sunshine will collaborate with each person to choose which ideas and methods feel most useful. That choice is based on the individual's goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions rather than a fixed path.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt conversations and exercises for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on daily thoughts and habits.
