Ali has over 11 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents and adults as a therapist, Clinical Coordinator and therapeutic Head of Department in conjunction with key stakeholders from health, education and residential care settings. She has additional training in suicide prevention, child safeguarding, self-harm, sexual health, restorative justice and complex trauma including attachment trauma and abuse. Her approach to each client is individual creative and empathic. The majority of her work is with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety & panic disorders, low mood and self-esteem difficulties.

Ali says: “I work in conjunction with parents to help the young person build on their own coping capacity & provide a non-judgemental safe place for them to share their difficulties, working creatively when the client can’t find the ‘right words.’’

She is available for online and in person appointments at Centric Mental Health.

Christina’s clinical experience includes working with families, couples, adolescents, and individuals. For the last three years, she has worked collaboratively with family therapist teams, and co-therapists as well as working independently in CAMHS Celbridge and Ballyfermot.

Christina’s clinical experience also includes two years working independently in Bray at Living Life Counselling with various adolescent and couple issues.

Christina says: ‘Working with a systemic lens I have seen significant progress made when the family system and context are considered in approaching difficulties clients are challenged with. Though my approach is unique to each client, I primarily focus on the client’s family and relationships which contribute to their progress and personal goals.’

She is available for online and in person appointments at Centric Mental Health.
