Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez , NCPS

Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez is a bilingual psychotherapist and counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification in the counselling and psychotherapy field, and offers therapy in both English and Spanish. Hendrina’s practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life transitions while also supporting clients affected by trauma, grief, parenting difficulties, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is counselling-led, practical, and present-focused, drawing on a blend of skills-based techniques and evidence-informed strategies. Hendrina integrates cognitive-behavioral methods, attachment-aware perspectives, and client-centered principles to help clients clarify goals, reduce overwhelm, and develop manageable coping strategies. She emphasizes collaborative work that respects each person’s preferences and circumstances and uses relationship-focused tools to address communication, commitment, and connection issues.

Hendrina intentionally limits her work to supportive talk therapy, skills-based interventions, and solution-focused approaches rather than intensive psychodynamic therapy or long-term, deep childhood trauma processing. This scope allows her to offer structured, consistent support well suited to clients seeking grounded, present-focused counselling and practical change.

Approach-driven online therapy and flexible care

Hendrina integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her online work to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on the values and actions that matter most to them. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility and purpose-driven behavior.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs her relationship-focused work by exploring how early connection patterns influence current interactions and emotional responses. This approach helps with attachment issues, communication problems, jealousy, and challenges in intimate relationships by fostering safer ways of relating.

Hendrina also draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a respectful, empathetic, and nonjudgmental stance that helps clients feel heard and supported while they identify their own goals. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Hendrina works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Hendrina uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These options allow clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, making it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
