About Hendrina
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez is a bilingual counsellor who offers practical, grounded support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems or life changes. She works in English and Spanish and aims to help people clarify goals, reduce overwhelm and build workable coping skills. Her style is direct, respectful and focused on the present.
With ten years of experience in the NHS and independent practice, she brings a mix of counselling skills and structured approaches to sessions.
Background and approach
Hendrina uses elements from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to teach tools for managing difficult thoughts and feelings. She also draws on attachment ideas to help people improve communication and connection in relationships. She emphasises short- to medium-term, skills-based work rather than long-term intensive trauma processing.
That means practical sessions that focus on what helps now - clearer thinking, steadier mood and more reliable day-to-day routines. Sessions often include simple exercises, goal setting and strategies to cope with triggers. Hendrina is transparent about boundaries of her practice on this platform and aims to match people with the right level of support.
She can help with common issues such as grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and career concerns. She also supports people working through trauma and abuse in a trauma-informed way when that fits within her stated approach. People can expect a collaborative relationship where the counsellor listens, reflects and offers practical steps.
Conversations are paced to suit the individual, and Hendrina focuses on helping people make manageable change in everyday life.

How Hendrina’s approaches translate to online therapy
Hendrina draws from acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on chosen values. ACT offers simple exercises and short practices to reduce struggle and build a workable life direction. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how past relationship patterns affect current communication and trust. This helps people repair or change how they relate to others and themselves online and offline.She treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods that suit the issue, and adjust as needed. That way the work stays relevant to what the person wants to change rather than following a fixed path.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction for skills practice and real-time feedback. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, written reflections or when a lower-intensity option fits someone’s routine. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to offer consistent, regular support that fits daily life and schedules.
