More about Hendrina

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • NCPS

Hello and Welcome!

I’m Hendrina Sterling, a dedicated counsellor, psychotherapist, and clinical hypnotherapist (I don't offer Hypnosis on Betterhelp) with over a decade of experience in the NHS and more than six years as a self-development coach. I hold a BSc (Honours) in Psychology with Counselling, Postgrad and advanced training in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychological Therapy Practices.

My approach integrates Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), and mindfulness-based methods. This combination allows me to customize each session to address a wide spectrum of challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, depression, grief, eating disorders, and ADHD. I’m committed to helping clients find solutions that empower them to take on life’s challenges with greater independence and resilience.

For couples therapy, I use the imago therapy and the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen communication, deepen empathy, and build intimacy. We’ll focus on understanding each other’s inner worlds and work on creating a stronger, more connected partnership.

I am also the founder of MindEmpowerTherapy.com, where I provide therapeutic resources, and an author of personal development workbooks designed to support clients beyond the therapy space.

Additionally, I have a specialized focus on identifying Autism and ADHD in adults. Using screening tools like the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), we can explore your experiences to gain clarity and build effective coping strategies. Recognizing neurodivergent traits is a crucial step toward developing self-awareness and advocacy in various areas of life.

If you’re ready to explore your unique path, I’m here to provide guidance and support every step of the way. Thank you for considering me as part of your journey to greater resilience and fulfillment.

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Tomar sesiones con Hendrina ha sido una experiencia transformadora. Llegué en un estado y, tras solo cuatro sesiones, mi progreso fue increíble. Hendrina tiene una escucha activa impresionante y brinda consejos con moralejas memorables que realmente resuenan. Es motivadora y alentadora, y trabajar con ella es un verdadero placer. Sentí una conexión hermosa y finalmente encontré a alguien que comprende tanto de terapias como de negocios y coaching de vida. Pude experimentar lo que otros sienten al hablar conmigo, y esa magia me ha inspirado aún más a hacer crecer mi emprendimiento. Muchas gracias, BetterHelp, por esta oportunidad. Excelente servicio, lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Hendrina es super flexible y dedicada. Ahora Hendrina me aporta apoyo trabajando directemanete con ella desde su plataforma, lo cual me permite elegir dia y tiempo me conviene debido a la distancia y compromisos personales. Maravillosa!

Hendrina has been very easy to talk to and I feel comfortable to express how I feel when talking to her. She has given me lots of advice and points to focus on, as well as exercises to do. I am happy I choose her as my therapist and would do again if I need her in the future.

I don’t think I have enough words to describe what of a new feeling Hendrina made me explore. For the first time ever, a therapist could understand my concerns and adapted a personalized plan that suits me personally. it’s been only 3 sessions with her and the improvement and satisfaction I’m feeling is amazing. She challenges me, she empathises, she guides, and she knows exactly what I need. She made me discover parts of me I was never aware of, and she was there to help me digest them. She made me believe that I can heal and create the life that I deserve no matter how strong my limiting beliefs are, I became so hopeful that change is possible if I believe in it and work towards it. She is so great, I could never recommend her enough

After just three weeks of therapy with Hendrina I have seen incredible results! She not only knows exactly how to help me— she also knows how to find the core issues that have led to my current situation —nd fixing the roots has led to so much positive change in such a short amount of time! She is kind, and gentle, and creates a safe space where I feel comforted and supported and motivated to find and pursue all the changes I need to make to become a better version of myself. I would 100% recommend!

Hendrina has been the best therapist I have ever had in my life. After having gone through countless experiences that hindered my development as a person, it has helped me to recognize how these experiences affected me and how little by little through that recognition, I can begin to accept the experience and act according to my ideals and needs. Despite the fact that we have been in therapy for a short time and that it has been a process of ups and downs, I feel that I have advanced and that my perspectives are beginning to question themselves, to be able to exercise the changes that I need so much. I thank Hendrina very much for helping me understand that despite the pain of the world, we always have the opportunity and perhaps, the ability to move forward and feel better about ourselves. It is the first time that I feel that a therapist takes me into account and is passionate about his profession. I RECOMMEND HER 100% and with my eyes closed.
