About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction and other difficult life changes. Sunshine draws on 13 years of practical experience and works with each person at their own pace.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. Conversations focus on the problems you bring, and on small steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sunshine listens for patterns in relationships, moods and behaviours to help people understand what keeps them stuck. Her way of working blends Jungian ideas about symbols and meaning with attachment-based thinking about close relationships. She also uses client-centred approaches and some cognitive behavioural ideas to help people change unhelpful habits.
These are used together to match what each person needs in the moment. Sunshine trained at Anglia Ruskin University and completed postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. Her BACP membership is listed as a professional credential.
She has also spent time as a school governor and youth leader, which informs her practical, community-minded outlook. Sessions are aimed at people who want a thoughtful, relational approach. Sunshine encourages curiosity and small experiments in daily life.
She supports people who want to feel steadier, understand themselves better, and make clearer choices about relationships and work.

Online support
How approach and format come together online
Many sessions draw on Jungian Therapy, which pays attention to symbols, dreams and personal meaning to help people understand themselves more deeply. This can be useful for grief, identity questions and recurring relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship styles shape present connections and emotional responses, helping people who struggle with trust, intimacy or separation to find different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the session focused on the person's own experience, offering steady listening and gentle reflection to build trust and self-understanding.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try different ways of working together. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits each person's life and aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
