Clinical Psychology Harrogate
If you've been searching for a clinical psychologist in Harrogate, Dr Samantha Masley offers adult and child clinical psychology and private Autism and ADHD assessments through Aire Valley Psychology, a small, specialist practice built around you.
Reaching Out Is the Hard Part. What Happens Next Shouldn't Be.
Deciding to ask for help with anxiety, low mood, trauma or the emotional weight of a health condition takes something out of you already. You shouldn’t then have to fight to be heard, wait weeks for a first appointment, or explain your situation to a different person every time you come back.
Aire Valley Psychology is a small, specialist practice based in East Morton, within easy reach of Harrogate. Because Dr Samantha Masley works with a limited number of clients at any one time, Harrogate clients get her full attention from the very first conversation, not a slice of it shared across a large caseload.
Adult Clinical Psychology
You’ll work directly with Dr Samantha Masley using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, ACT, Mindfulness and Schema Therapy, chosen to fit what’s actually going on for you rather than a generic programme. Support also extends to the psychological impact of chronic pain and other long-term health conditions.
Child Clinical Psychology
Sessions are shaped around your child’s age and needs, from play and drawing for younger children through to more open conversation with teenagers, with you involved at whatever level feels right for your family.
Autism Assessments
A private, NICE-aligned assessment pathway begins with an initial screening appointment, so you’re not committed to a full evaluation until it’s clear one is needed. The full process includes developmental history, ADOS-2 and school observation for children where relevant.
ADHD Assessments
The same considered approach applies, using a detailed symptom review, developmental history and QBCheck, a computer-based test that measures attention, impulse control and motor activity against established norms.
Professional Referrals
Medico-Legal assessments and reports for adult trauma are prepared following Bond Solon Expert Witness Training, and clinical supervision is available for other mental health professionals.
How We Can Help You
You're Never Just a Number
With a deliberately small caseload, Harrogate clients aren’t rushed through sessions or handed off between different practitioners partway through treatment.
Genuine Clinical Expertise
Dr Samantha Masley holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Edinburgh and a BSc (Hons) from the University of York, built on more than 20 years of experience across the NHS and private practice.
Fully Accredited and Regulated
The practice is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, and Dr Samantha Masley is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society, giving you the reassurance of working with someone held to a recognised professional standard.
One Point of Contact Throughout
You’ll know exactly who you’re working with from your first message onward, which matters when you’re already dealing with enough uncertainty.
Ready To Get Started?
If you’re in Harrogate and ready to talk, a short initial conversation can help you understand what support might look like and whether this practice is right for you. There’s no pressure to commit to anything beyond that first step.
