Clinical Psychology York
Looking for a clinical psychologist in York with genuine specialist experience? Dr Samantha Masley offers adult and child clinical psychology and private Autism and ADHD assessments at Aire Valley Psychology, a short distance away in East Morton.
Reaching Out Is the Hard Part. What Happens Next Shouldn't Be.
York has its own local services, so if a client from York chooses to travel to East Morton instead, it’s usually because they’ve already looked closer to home and want something more specific: a named specialist rather than a general service, and a practice small enough that their case gets proper attention rather than a fixed slot in a busy rota.
That’s the basis Aire Valley Psychology is built on. Dr Samantha Masley works with a limited number of clients at any one time, and several currently travel from York because the alternative, waiting longer for a more generic service closer to home, doesn’t suit what they need.
Adult Clinical Psychology
Individual work for anxiety, depression, stress, panic, obsessive compulsive difficulties and trauma, alongside support for adjusting to chronic pain and other long-term health conditions. Treatment draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, ACT, Mindfulness and Schema Therapy.
Child Clinical Psychology
Sessions adapted to a child’s developmental stage, from play and drawing for younger children to more open, direct conversation with teenagers, with parents and carers involved as much as suits the family.
Autism Assessments
A private, NICE-aligned pathway that starts with an initial screening appointment before a full evaluation where needed, including developmental history, ADOS-2 and school observation for children where relevant.
ADHD Assessments
A comparable 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, prepared following Bond Solon Expert Witness Training, plus clinical supervision for other mental health professionals.
How We Can Help You
Direct Access to the Person Treating You
There’s no handover partway through treatment. Dr Samantha Masley oversees every case from the first conversation onward.
Depth of Experience
Over 20 years of practice across the NHS and private sector means most difficulties clients bring have been seen and worked through before.
A Caseload Kept Deliberately Small
Fewer open cases at any one time means sessions aren’t cut short and plans are built around the individual rather than a standard template.
Timely Appointments
Most enquiries, including those from York, lead to an appointment within a week, with a typical course of Clinical Psychology completed in 6 to 12 sessions.
