Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez, NCPS

Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez welcomes people who want straightforward, practical support for day-to-day struggles. She is bilingual and works in English and Spanish to help clients manage stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and life changes. Hendrina presents herself as a counsellor who focuses on clear goals and useful skills rather than long-term analytic work.

Hendrina has ten years of experience across the NHS and independent practice. She holds NCPS and has described additional trauma-related training in her original biography. Her work is counselling-led and present-focused, with an emphasis on collaboration and respect in the room.

In sessions she combines core counselling skills with cognitive behavioural strategies and relationship-focused tools. The aim is to reduce overwhelm, build coping skills, and make manageable progress toward practical goals. She also draws on approaches that address attachment and emotion regulation when relevant.

Hendrina says she does not provide intensive psychodynamic therapy, extended trauma processing, or deep childhood trauma work on the platform described in her biography. Instead she offers supportive talk therapy, skills-based techniques, and solution-focused planning to help people move forward in daily life.

Her profile notes work with a broad range of concerns including grief, parenting pressures, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related worries. She also lists more specific focuses such as attachment difficulties, commitment concerns, communication problems and dealing with infidelity.

Those interested in working with her are asked to review her stated approach and decide if a practical, present-centred style fits their needs before choosing to proceed.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and for clarifying what matters most when life feels confusing.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past connection patterns shape current relationships and feelings. It can help people understand trust, closeness and recurring relationship difficulties in a straightforward way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This keeps the process collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

For practicalities, the original biography does not list specific session formats on the platform. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoiding being on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like ACT and attachment work so they translate into conversations and exercises suitable for remote sessions.
