Clinical Psychology Skipton
Dr Samantha Masley is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist in Skipton, offering evidence-based clinical psychology for adults, children and families across Skipton, alongside private Autism and ADHD assessments.
A Clinical Psychologist Skipton Residents Can Easily Reach
Living with anxiety, low mood or the after-effects of a difficult experience can make even small tasks feel heavy. For many people in Skipton, the hardest part isn’t admitting something needs to change, it’s knowing who to trust with that change once you’ve decided to reach out.
Aire Valley Psychology sits just outside Skipton in East Morton, close enough for a straightforward journey without the wait times and turnover often found at larger clinics. The practice is run on a small scale deliberately, so that every person who comes through the door is known by name rather than by a case number.
Child Clinical Psychology
Sessions are shaped around a child’s age, from play-based approaches for younger children through to more conversational sessions for teenagers. Families are kept involved at a level that suits their child, and difficulties such as anxiety, low mood and trauma are approached with methods including CBT and EMDR.
Adult Clinical Psychology
Individual work covering anxiety, depression, stress, panic, obsessive compulsive difficulties and trauma, together with support for adjusting to physical health conditions such as chronic pain. Therapy draws on ACT, Mindfulness, Schema Therapy and other evidence-based approaches, matched to what suits the person rather than applied as a fixed programme.
Autism & ADHD Assessments
Comprehensive private assessments for both adults and children, carried out in line with National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidance. An initial screening appointment establishes whether a full assessment is needed, and ADHD evaluations include QBCheck, a computer-based measure of attention and impulse control benchmarked against established norms.
Professional Referrals
Medico-Legal assessments and reports for adult trauma, prepared by a practitioner who has completed Expert Witness Training with Bond Solon, along with clinical supervision offered to other mental health professionals.
