Pronouns - Her/She

Hello, I’m Hendrina Sterling, a compassionate and dedicated Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with a deep passion for helping individuals achieve emotional well-being, personal growth, and resilience. With over a decade of experience in the NHS and more than six years as a therapist and personal development coach, I am committed to providing a safe and empathetic space for my clients to explore their challenges and unlock their potential.

I hold a double honours degree in Psychology and Counselling, along with advanced training in Psychological Therapy Practices and Therapeutic Counselling. As a clinical hypnotherapist, I combine evidence-based practices with a warm, empathetic approach to support clients in creating meaningful and lasting change.

My Approach

I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), and mindfulness techniques. This allows me to tailor each session to your unique needs, addressing a range of challenges, including:

  • Stress and anxiety

  • Trauma and grief

  • Low self-esteem

  • Depression

  • Eating disorders

  • ADHD

For couples, I offer therapy grounded in Imago Therapy and the Gottman Method. These approaches focus on improving communication, building empathy, and fostering deeper emotional connections. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your relationship and create a more fulfilling partnership.

Specialist Areas

I have a particular focus on identifying Autism and ADHD in adults. Through tools like the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), I can help you gain a clearer understanding of your experiences, empowering you with self-awareness and practical strategies to navigate life effectively.

Beyond Therapy

In addition to my therapeutic work, I provide helpful resources and tools to support clients outside of sessions. I’m also an author of personal development workbooks designed to complement your journey toward well-being.

Let’s Work Together

Whether you’re navigating life’s challenges, seeking clarity and confidence, or striving for a stronger relationship, I am here to guide and support you. Together, we’ll create a personalised path toward growth, resilience, and fulfilment.

Thank you for considering me to be part of your journey, I look forward to walking alongside you
