About Hendrina
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez is a bilingual psychotherapist and counsellor who speaks English and Spanish. She has a decade of clinical experience in both the NHS and independent practice, and she focuses on practical, present-centred support. Many people come to her when stress, anxiety or relationship problems feel overwhelming and they want clear, manageable steps forward.
Hendrina uses a counselling-led style that balances listening with practical tools. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people notice patterns and change what isn’t working.
Background and approach
Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit and may be offered where appropriate to support relaxation and focus. She is registered with NCPS, and over ten years has worked across public and personal settings. Her background includes trauma-informed practice and a range of relationship-focused work.
That experience shapes how she supports people through grief, life changes, parenting strains, career decisions and difficulties with self-esteem. Hendrina is clear about the therapy she offers on this platform. She focuses on structured, skills-based counselling rather than long-term analytic or high-intensity trauma processing.
That means sessions tend to centre on present problems, practical coping strategies and goal-setting. When someone starts with Hendrina they can expect collaborative sessions that aim for steady progress. She helps people reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and try tools between meetings to build momentum and change day-to-day routines.

Online support
How Hendrina adapts approaches for online therapy
Hendrina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small, value-driven actions. ACT is practical for managing anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on what matters most rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable thought.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current difficulties. This approach helps people understand repeated communication problems, commitment worries or feelings of abandonment and work on healthier ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hendrina will discuss options and tailor sessions to the client’s needs, goals and preferences so the methods used fit the person rather than the other way around. That means the plan may combine short-term skill building with relationship-focused conversations as required.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the work, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support between calls. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
