About Sunshine
Sunshine Goodfellow welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or relationship strain and want a steady, compassionate presence to help them through. She presents as calm and direct, and offers time to talk and reflect so people can work out what matters most to them. Sunshine is named in the first paragraph to make it clear who this profile is about.
She uses a range of therapy approaches to match what a person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Conversations tend to look at feelings, relationships, and how early experiences affect present difficulties. Sunshine has thirteen years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means she works within the ethical standards of that organisation.
Her background includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. These studies inform a flexible, reflective style in sessions.
She lists many areas she supports, including trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and relationship concerns, mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, ADHD, and anger and self-esteem problems. Additional focuses include attachment issues, body image, domestic violence and blended family difficulties. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk and try new ways of coping.
Her work aims to help people find more balance, notice old patterns, and make small changes that add up. The emphasis is on collaboration - the person and Sunshine decide the next steps together.

How Sunshine works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sunshine will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
For practicalities, confirm the exact session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, making it easier to schedule around work or childcare, and allowing quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats also need less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can make sessions feel simpler on difficult days. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt methods so therapy remains focused and effective even when it happens remotely.
