Hello and Welcome!
I’m Hendrina Sterling, a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with over a decade of experience in emotional well-being and personal growth. My approach combines Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and mindfulness-based techniques to support clients in managing anxiety, stress, trauma, and other life challenges.

Whether you're navigating personal struggles or seeking personal growth, I'm here to guide you with empathy and tailored strategies.
I also have a background in adult ADHD and Autism identification, using tools like the AQ and ASRS to help explore your experiences and create effective coping strategies.
I’m excited to work with you and support you on your journey to greater well-being and resilience.

She has been a great listener and offers a very helpful insight with no judgement. The practice she gave me is also very useful to help understand myself more. I would totally recommend her to work together if you are looking for a therapist.

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!
