Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez, NCPS

Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to help people feel clearer and more able to cope. Her style is grounded and straightforward, with a focus on small, useful steps that fit everyday life.

Hendrina has ten years of experience working in the NHS and in private practice. She describes her work as counselling-led and present-focused, using core counselling skills alongside evidence-informed strategies. She draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas and relationship-focused tools to address communication problems, burnout and mood difficulties.

She makes a clear distinction about the type of work she offers on this platform. Hendrina does not provide long-term analytic therapy or intensive trauma processing here. Instead she offers supportive talk therapy, skills-based approaches and short-to-medium term work aimed at reducing overwhelm and clarifying goals.

Typical themes Hendrina helps people with include relationship and attachment issues, grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, ADHD-related challenges and recovery from abuse or trauma in a paced way that fits the platform. She also supports people exploring identity, purpose and coping with separation or infidelity.

Sessions can be arranged in English or Spanish for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approach fits online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance or uncertainty get in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape trust and connection. It can be useful for communication problems, abandonment fears and commitment issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping people find their own solutions through a respectful, non-directive relationship.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. Hendrina works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's needs and goals. She will adapt the mix of skills-based work and supportive talking as the relationship develops so the plan remains practical and focused.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a shorter check-in. Messaging and live chat suit people who prefer writing between scheduled contacts or who need brief, on-the-day support. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and different schedules while keeping the therapeutic aims clear and collaborative.
