About Hendrina
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez offers direct, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on ten years of practice to help clients set clear, achievable goals and to build everyday coping skills. Hendrina keeps sessions focused and collaborative so people leave with steps they can try between meetings.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive and acceptance-based tools to help people understand feelings and shift painful patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are counselling-led and skills oriented, with attention to communication, boundaries and emotional connection. Hendrina describes her work as present-focused and practical rather than long-term analytic exploration. Her background includes practice in both the NHS and personal settings, and she holds the NCPS credential.
Hendrina has experience supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and career pressures. She also helps with relationship concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem and questions about identity and belonging. Clients often come with a mix of worries such as anxiety, anger, isolation or difficulties with commitment and communication.
In session she blends Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural strategies and Attachment-Based ideas to make sense of patterns and to try new ways of responding. The aim is clearer priorities, less overwhelm and more reliable day-to-day coping. Hendrina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and she works with international clients.

Online support
How Hendrina’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people map and name strong feelings and how those feelings shape relationships. It can be useful for people who want clearer emotional connection and fewer repeated patterns that cause distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions. It supports people who are stuck in avoidance or rumination to build meaningful habits and tolerate difficult thoughts while moving toward what matters to them.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and expectations. It can help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and practise new ways of relating to others and themselves.
Choosing an approach is a shared task. Hendrina works with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She combines approaches as needed and adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances change.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for hands-on conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can provide short check-ins and ongoing coaching-like support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping momentum between sessions.
