About Hendrina
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez is a bilingual counsellor who speaks English and Spanish. She has a decade of experience working in the NHS and independent practice and offers practical, present-focused support for everyday struggles. Hendrina aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for people juggling busy lives and parenting responsibilities.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and steady progress rather than long investigation of the past.
Background and approach
She blends counselling fundamentals with cognitive behavioural ideas and relationship-focused tools to help reduce overwhelm and improve communication. Hendrina has worked across public and personal settings for ten years and brings that range to her work. She is registered as NCPS and draws on trauma-informed perspectives when relevant.
Her experience includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, compassion fatigue and life changes. Common areas she addresses include relationship difficulties, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD-related challenges, and parenting concerns. She also offers support for issues such as attachment and abandonment, infidelity, isolation, and forgiveness.
Hendrina aims to help people clarify priorities and take small practical steps toward change. She provides online sessions using a variety of formats so people can pick what fits their schedule. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that suits both the client and therapist.
Hendrina encourages people to look at her background and decide if her practical, supportive approach fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasises values-based action so people take steps they care about even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and common life worries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to use the tools discussed in therapy in real time.
