About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing and on supporting people through challenging life events. She brings 13 years of experience and works to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and other concerns.
She explains things plainly and uses everyday language in sessions. Conversations cover what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and small steps clients can try between meetings. Sunshine aims to help people build clearer routines, better self-understanding and practical coping strategies.
Her background includes a Bachelor-level training and postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy from the University of Cambridge. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which she cites as guiding her professional values and practice.
Sunshine draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. Work can include attachment-focused ideas about relationships, client-centred listening that follows the client’s pace, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also brings existential and Jungian perspectives where questions about meaning, identity or life purpose are important.
Outside clinical work she has served as a school governor and youth leader, roles that reflect a wider commitment to community wellbeing. To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and to set small, realistic goals for change.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy values how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships, practice different responses, and build safer ways of relating to others.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and following the client’s pace. This approach helps when people need space to make sense of difficult feelings and to find their own answers.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear tasks to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and practical coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to what actually helps the individual.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. If you prefer a shorter check-in or to avoid being on camera, those options can be discussed when arranging sessions.
