About Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez
Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez is a bilingual psychotherapist and counsellor with more than a decade of experience working across the NHS and private practice, offering therapy in both English and Spanish. She holds NCPS and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - Level II (CCTP-II), which denotes advanced training in trauma-informed practice, and she is also a trained clinical hypnotherapist. In 2024/25 she was recognised as Online Therapist of the Year (South West England), an award that reflects a commitment to ethical, thoughtful, and effective therapeutic support.
On the platform, her work is counselling-led, practical, and present-focused, aimed at helping clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in everyday life. She takes a collaborative and respectful stance, combining core counselling skills with CBT-informed strategies and relationship-focused tools, including principles informed by the Gottman method, to address issues such as stress, anxiety, burnout, communication difficulties, and life transitions.
To clarify fit, she does not provide intensive psychodynamic therapy, long-term trauma processing, or deep childhood trauma work on this platform. Instead, her practice emphasises supportive talk therapy, skills-based techniques, and solution-focused strategies designed to help clients clarify goals, reduce overwhelm, and make meaningful, manageable changes in the present.
That boundary is held intentionally so she can offer clear attention and consistent support within the structure of online practice. She is best suited to people seeking grounded, structured, and supportive counselling rather than high-intensity clinical or crisis-level interventions. Those looking for deep trauma processing or extended analytic exploration may find a better match with a clinician who specialises exclusively in that work, and she supports clients in finding the right fit.
Prospective clients are welcome to review publicly available information about her background and approach to determine whether her style aligns with their needs. She is currently accepting clients, including international clients.
