About Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez is a bilingual psychotherapist and counsellor with more than 10 years of experience working across the NHS and in private practice. She holds NCPS as a professional credential and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - Level II, a qualification that reflects specialised training in trauma-informed practice. She is also a trained clinical hypnotherapist and was recognised as Online Therapist of the Year for South West England in 2024/25, an acknowledgement of her focus on thoughtful and ethical online care.
Her practice on the platform is counselling-led, practical, and present-focused, designed to help people feel understood, supported, and empowered in day-to-day life. She works collaboratively and respectfully, combining core counselling skills with CBT-informed techniques and relationship-focused tools, including principles drawn from Gottman work, to address stress, anxiety, burnout, communication difficulties, and life transitions. Her approach emphasises skills-based strategies and solution-focused work to reduce overwhelm and support meaningful, manageable change.
Hendrina sets clear boundaries about therapeutic fit: she does not offer intensive psychodynamic therapy, long-term trauma processing, or deep childhood trauma work in this setting. Instead she concentrates on grounded, structured, and supportive counselling rather than high-intensity clinical or crisis-level interventions. Prospective clients seeking long-term analytic exploration or intensive trauma processing may be better suited to therapists who specialise exclusively in those areas, and Hendrina supports finding the right match when appropriate.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build practical habits that align with those values. ACT combines mindfulness and committed action to reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns that began in earlier connections and how they show up now. By exploring attachment styles and their impact on relationships, this approach supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, commitment issues, and communication problems.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replace them with more adaptive responses. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hendrina works collaboratively with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they determine which combination of methods is likely to be most helpful.
Online therapy with a registered professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access consistent support around work, family, or other commitments. This variety of formats makes it easier to maintain momentum in therapy and to use approaches that fit the client’s life and preferences.
