About Hendrina
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez is a bilingual counsellor who helps people handle everyday pressures and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of experience working in both the NHS and independent practice. She focuses on clear, practical support so people can feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope.
Her style is collaborative and present-focused. Sessions use counselling skills alongside practical strategies from approaches such as cognitive behavioural work and attachment-informed thinking.
Background and approach
Hendrina aims to help people set small, manageable goals and learn tools they can use between sessions. She has particular experience supporting stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues like abandonment, commitment worries, communication problems, guilt, and life-purpose shifts.
Hendrina names trauma and abuse among her areas of practice and uses trauma-informed perspectives where appropriate. Hendrina describes her work as skills-based and solution-oriented rather than long-term analytic therapy. She does not provide intensive psychodynamic treatment or long-term deep trauma processing on this platform.
This focus helps her offer consistent, structured sessions for people wanting practical change now. Her credential is NCPS, and she combines that background with experience across public and personal settings in the United Kingdom. People who prefer a counselling-led, goal-focused approach often find her way of working helpful.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Hendrina often draws on Existential ideas to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their values. This work looks at questions about purpose, responsibility and what matters now, and can help when someone feels empty, stuck or unsure about life direction.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while taking actions that match personal values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence; it pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect trust, communication and current relationships, and it can support people working through connection or abandonment concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hendrina will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. This helps make sure sessions feel useful and relevant from the start.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing reflection between scheduled conversations. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
