About Alinda

Alinda Small

I have a background in medical science, a Psychology degree and a Masters in Medicine Science and Sexual Health, from the University of Sydney. These qualifications allow me to work closely and effectively with those in need. My maturity, experience and training in both the Health Sciences and Psychology, allows me to assist clients with their relationships, sexual health and individual care.

Having been involved in the care and management of clients for many years, providing a professional, safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment is essential. I can assist couples to further improve their relationships, reduce conflict, overcome infidelity and learn to listen more actively with empathetically.

Additionally, further clinical training through The Gottman Institute, Terry Real (RLT) and others, enables me to assist couples and individuals wanting to bring change into their lives and relationships. The advanced training in the Gottman Method, and being a verified member of this technique, has helped many couples expand their relationships and rebuild with a strong foundation, and a rewarding emotional connection.

Couples often require communication skills to further enrich their relationship, recover from infidelity and learn to enhance their understanding of each other’s needs. Additionally offering support for individuals who want to break unhealthy relationship cycles or develop a clearer understanding of their own behaviours in relationships- can be in the form of Relationship Coaching. This area helps individuals get where they want to be with a programme guiding you all the way.

I am also a Sexual Health Therapist and a registered member of ASSERT (Australian Society of Sex Educators Researchers and Therapists) and ISSHM (International Society of Sexual Heath). Sexual Health Therapists are qualified counsellors, and healthcare professionals who have had extensive post graduate training in human sexuality, behaviour and relationships. Combining my strong academic background and extensive clinical experience- issues like Erectile Dysfunction, performance anxiety, delayed and premature ejaculation, porn and sex addiction, and painful sex or Vaginismus are areas that I am well versed in and bring a wealth of knowledge.

As a qualified Relationship Counsellor and Sex Therapist, I use specialised clinical skills and theoretical knowledge to help people deal with relationship issues and/or sexual difficulties or concerns. A focus on result driven therapy has provided many others with success, don’t hesitate to let me help you today- reach out and make the change you desire.
