About Hendrina
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and has a decade of experience working in mental health settings. Hendrina helps people set clear goals, reduce anxious thinking and find manageable ways to move forward.
Her work is counselling-led and present-focused. She uses skills-based tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance work to help with everyday problems.
How Hendrina works
Sessions often centre on practical strategies for coping, clearer communication, and decision-making around relationships and career choices. Hendrina has ten years' experience working across the NHS and independent practice. She holds NCPS as a listed credential.
Her background includes supporting people with trauma, grief and compassion fatigue, though she clarifies she does not provide long-term intensive trauma processing on this platform. People often come to her for help with relationship tensions, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, or career uncertainty. She also supports those dealing with abandonment or attachment concerns, anger, or feelings of emptiness and isolation.
Work focuses on immediate needs and building skills to manage symptoms day to day. Therapy sessions are collaborative. Hendrina helps people set workable steps and practices they can use between sessions.
Where cases need deeper, long-term trauma work, she will suggest finding a different specialist who fits that need.

Online support options
How Hendrina applies practical therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and finding direction when life feels uncertain.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and build new ways of communicating and relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hendrina collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She adapts tools from different approaches so the plan fits what the person wants to change and how quickly they need relief.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and share a face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for frequent, brief support or for tracking progress between sessions. These options help people work therapy into busy schedules and different time zones while keeping the focus on practical skill building.
