Clinical Psychology Saltaire

Dr Samantha Masley is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist in Saltaire's surrounding area, offering adult and child clinical psychology plus private Autism and ADHD assessments through Aire Valley Psychology.

When You'd Rather Not Explain Your Whole Story Twice

One of the most common frustrations people describe before starting therapy is having to repeat themselves, first to a GP, then to a receptionist, then again to whoever eventually sees them. At Aire Valley Psychology, Saltaire clients speak with Dr Samantha Masley directly from the first conversation, so nothing gets lost along the way.

The practice is based in East Morton, a short drive from Saltaire, and is kept small so that every client’s history stays with the same practitioner throughout their time in therapy.

Adult Clinical Psychology

Individual sessions addressing anxiety, depression, stress, panic, obsessive compulsive difficulties and trauma, alongside psychological support for chronic pain and other long-term health conditions. Treatment is drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, ACT, Mindfulness and Schema Therapy.

Child Clinical Psychology

Age-appropriate sessions for children and adolescents, ranging from play and drawing with younger children to more direct, conversational sessions with teenagers, with family involvement adjusted to each case.

Autism Assessments

A private, NICE-aligned pathway beginning with an initial screening appointment, followed where appropriate by a full evaluation including developmental history, ADOS-2 and, for children, school observation.

ADHD Assessments

A comparable screening and full assessment pathway, including a detailed symptom review, developmental history and QBCheck, a computer-based test measuring attention, impulse control and motor activity against established norms.

Professional Referrals

Medico-Legal assessments and reports for adult trauma, produced following Bond Solon Expert Witness Training, together with clinical supervision offered to other mental health professionals.

Why Saltaire Clients Choose This Practice

Continuity of Care

Dr Samantha Masley oversees each case personally, so Saltaire clients aren’t passed between different practitioners partway through treatment.

Experience Built Over Two Decades

Dr Samantha Masley has practised for over 20 years across the NHS and private practice, holding a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Edinburgh and a BSc (Hons) from the University of York.

Recognised Professional Standing

The practice is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, and Dr Samantha Masley is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and a member of EMDR Europe and Contextual Consulting.

A Practice Sized for Attention, Not Volume

Client numbers are kept deliberately limited, meaning most enquiries lead to an appointment within a week and most people complete their course of Clinical Psychology in 6 to 12 sessions.

Ready To Get Started?

If you’re in Saltaire and thinking about reaching out, a short initial conversation is a low-pressure way to find out whether this is the right fit.

Testimonials

"Sam, I can't thank you enough for getting me through these last couple of months. I've finally had a taste of the 'old me' back and I'm excited to work on what you've taught me"
"Thank you for helping me over the last few months. I'll miss our sessions but I'm feeling a lot more confident and positive about what I was struggling with"
"This is no sausage factory assessor, Samantha cares and gets to really know you."
"I felt instantly at ease with Samantha and Joe, they seem to take pride in their roles and work to properly understand you and your history."
"After having a combined Autism and ADHD assessment later in life with Samantha I feel like I know myself fully and can better design my life now."
"The NHS wouldn't assess me as I was working and in their eyes functioning slash coping. In the background I felt I was failing as I had struggled socially my whole life, not progressed at work due to various oversights on my part and I had had two huge burnouts that had undermined my confidence. I had also blown up multiple friendships and felt very low in myself. I decided to pay for a private assessment to figure myself out. It was amazing. Samantha took the time to hear my story and helped me construct a new narrative. I learned to forgive myself and most importantly how to take care of myself. My assessment was 6 months ago and I am going from strength to strength. Thank you Samantha."
