About Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez

Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez is a bilingual psychotherapist and counsellor who brings 11 years of experience in both NHS settings and private practice to her work with clients. She combines trauma-informed training and practical therapeutic skills to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life transitions while supporting recovery from burnout and other challenges. Hendrina holds NCPS and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - Level II (CCTP-II), a credential that reflects advanced training in trauma-informed practice, and she is also a trained clinical hypnotherapist.

Her approach is counselling-led, present-focused, and skills oriented, grounded in collaborative, respectful work with each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and relationship-focused tools influenced by Gottman principles to offer clear strategies for reducing overwhelm, improving communication, and setting manageable goals. Hendrina emphasizes practical, solutions-focused work that helps clients feel understood and empowered in everyday life.

Hendrina is intentional about the scope of her online practice - she focuses on supportive talk therapy, skills-based interventions, and short- to medium-term goal work rather than intensive psychodynamic therapy or extended trauma processing. This boundary allows her to provide consistent attention and clarity to clients seeking structured, grounded counselling. She welcomes inquiries from people who want to explore whether her style and experience are a good fit for their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Hendrina frequently integrates cognitive behavioral therapy - or CBT - which helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also draws on attachment-based therapy, which explores how early relationship patterns influence present-day connections and can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - is another tool she may use; ACT focuses on clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can move forward even when difficult emotions are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hendrina works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review which strategies feel most helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Hendrina is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions accessible and flexible. These options allow clients to receive consistent support around work, family, or other commitments and to choose the format that best supports their progress and comfort.
