Sunshine Goodfellow , BACP

Sunshine Goodfellow is a United Kingdom based therapist with 13 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through difficult life transitions. She works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflict, anxiety and stress, eating and addiction issues, grief, bipolar and depression, sleep and parenting difficulties, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Her practice also attends to attachment and adoption-related work, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and other complex relational and personality-related matters.

She draws on multiple ways of working to meet each person where they are. As an Integral Therapist she integrates daily practices that promote balance, presence, and reconnection with the self, aiming to move people beyond coping toward a fuller sense of wellbeing. She also describes her stance as autonomous - trusting clients as experts in their own lives and offering a collaborative, non-directive partnership that helps them reconnect with their inner wisdom. Sunshine holds the BACP credential (BACP), a recognised professional credential in the UK.

Her background includes training at Anglia Ruskin University and postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge. Community roles such as school governor and youth leader have informed her commitment to mental wellness across age groups. She is passionate about creating an inclusive, culturally sensitive therapeutic space where people from diverse backgrounds can feel seen and heard. Sunshine invites clients to begin a journey of practical change, emotional growth, and renewed hope.

Attachment, Client-Centered and CBT Support Online

Sunshine commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and helps people understand how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive partnership where the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard, helping clients explore their feelings and build self-trust. CBT is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develops practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and other symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sunshine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the approach over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow clients to choose the way of working that feels most comfortable for them.
