Sunshine Goodfellow , BACP

Sunshine Goodfellow is a UK-based therapist with 13 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through many of life’s most painful moments. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and addiction concerns, grief, sleep and parenting challenges, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and related areas of distress.

She approaches therapy as a sanctuary where honest exploration can take place without judgment, and she honors the courage it takes to ask for support. Working as an Integral Therapist, she offers daily practices aimed at restoring balance, presence, and a felt reconnection with the self. As an autonomous practitioner, she trusts that clients are the experts on their own lives and aims to walk alongside them while they rediscover inner wisdom and clarity.

Her training includes study at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate work in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. Community roles such as serving as a school governor and youth leader reflect a wider commitment to promoting mental wellness across generations. That combination of academic training and community experience contributes to her confidence in managing complex caseloads and forming collaborative therapeutic partnerships that support meaningful change.

Sunshine invites people to begin a process of learning, opening, and gradual reconnection to their truest selves. She frames therapy as a shared journey toward hope and renewed possibility.

Approaches, Collaboration, and the Convenience of Online Care

Sunshine Goodfellow draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to inform her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which can be useful for relationship, intimacy, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own pace, creating space for self-discovery and emotional processing in matters like self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sunshine will work with each person to clarify goals, consider preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses so that the approach fits the client’s needs rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Sunshine is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and access easier for people who live at a distance or need options that fit busy lives. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Sunshine, can offer consistent care through these formats while tailoring each session to the individual’s circumstances and goals.
