About Hendrina
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez offers straightforward, supportive counselling for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship problems or life changes. She introduces herself simply and listens carefully. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and help clients take small, manageable steps forward.
Hendrina draws on ten years of experience that span NHS work and independent practice. She uses practical, present-focused methods rather than long-term analytic work. That means conversations centre on coping skills, clearer communication and goal-focused actions people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her work blends client-centred listening with cognitive-behavioural techniques and relationship-focused tools. She also incorporates elements from Jungian and attachment-based ideas when they fit the issue being addressed. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s priorities guide what happens in the room.
Hendrina is documented as NCPS. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.
She sets boundaries about the kind of work she provides on this platform, focusing on supportive talk, skills work and short- to mid-term problem solving. If someone needs more intensive trauma processing or long-term psychodynamic therapy, Hendrina recognises that a different match may be preferable and supports people in finding the right fit.

Online support
How Hendrina blends approaches for online work
Hendrina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions because it focuses on small, value-led steps rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable feeling.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people improve communication, understand commitment or control issues, and reduce repeated conflict patterns.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what they hope to change. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let the therapist see non-verbal cues and support longer sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders or people who prefer writing during sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, parenting or travel.
