CAYP Psychology – York

About

CAYP Psychology is a specialist psychological service based in York, dedicated to supporting the mental health and communication needs of children, adolescents, and young people (CAYP). We bring together a highly skilled team of professionals, including Clinical Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, and other experienced clinicians. Together, we offer tailored, evidence-based care designed to empower young people and their families.

We understand that childhood and adolescence can be particularly complex periods, often marked by emotional, behavioural, or developmental challenges. That’s why our focus is on early intervention, timely support, and collaborative working. Our aim is to improve quality of life and outcomes through meaningful psychological and therapeutic input.

At the heart of our work is a belief in the unique strengths and potential of every young person. We work closely with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure each client receives the care and support they need in a way that fits their life.

Services

CAYP Psychology offers a wide range of specialist services tailored to meet the varied needs of children and young people. These include:

• Psychological assessment and therapy for difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-esteem issues, and behavioural challenges

• Diagnostic assessments for neurodevelopmental conditions, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Speech and Language Therapy, supporting children with communication and interaction needs

• Consultation and training for parents, carers, and educational professionals to help build capacity and confidence in supporting young people

• School-based interventions, including psychological support within education settings

• Support for complex needs, where multidisciplinary input is required

All interventions are person-centred, and each care plan is designed in collaboration with the young person and their family. Our clinicians take time to build trust and understand each individual’s context, ensuring therapy is both effective and compassionate.
