Sunshine Goodfellow, BACP

Sunshine Goodfellow is a UK-based therapist with 13 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through difficult life transitions and distressing events. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflict, eating and substance issues, grief, parenting challenges, sleep difficulties, attention differences, and a wide range of intimacy and self-esteem concerns. Her practice also addresses complex themes such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, blended family dynamics, domestic violence, and codependency.

Sunshine describes her work as rooted in an integrative, client-centered stance. She uses principles from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients reconnect with their inner resources, strengthen relationships, and develop practical skills for managing emotions and everyday challenges. Trained at Anglia Ruskin University with postgraduate study in Art and Play Therapy at the University of Cambridge, she combines reflective conversation with practical exercises that promote presence, balance, and reconnection with the self.

Sunshine values collaboration and believes clients are the experts in their own lives; her role is to walk alongside each person, offering guidance that aligns with the ethical framework of the BACP. The BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Outside of clinical work she has contributed to community wellbeing through roles such as school governor and youth leader, experience that informs her inclusive and culturally sensitive approach.

Accepting both UK and international clients, Sunshine aims to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings, rebuild connection, and cultivate hope for meaningful change.
