About our Clinical Director and Founder
CY&A Psychology is a small practice of like-minded, experienced CAMHS clinicians.
CY&A Psychology is a small, specialist practice of experienced CAMHS clinicians who are passionate about working with young people.
I set up the practice over 15 years ago with a simple aim: to offer high-quality, evidence-based therapy that feels personal, flexible, and genuinely supportive. I wanted to create a service focused on young people without the rigid age cut-offs that often separate child and adult mental health services.
I believe young people do best when they’re able to move through therapy at their own pace, with the option to return for support as new challenges and transitions arise in early adulthood.
I’m really proud of the range of therapies we offer and the skill and care of our team. We share a strong commitment to evidence-based practice and a genuine dedication to supporting young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
Dr Clare Yassin BSc. (Hons), D.Clinical.Psych, PG Cert, C.Psychol, AFBPsS

FAQs
What is a child psychologist and what do they do?
A child psychologist is a qualified mental health professional who specialises in understanding and supporting the emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs of children, teenagers, and young adults. At CY&A Psychology, our clinical psychologists hold doctoral-level qualifications and bring decades of expertise in child psychology and adolescent mental health.
Unlike psychiatry, child psychology focuses on talking therapy and evidence-based psychological interventions rather than medication. Our psychologists do not prescribe medication; instead, they work collaboratively with you and your child to understand their difficulties and find the right path forward.
What mental health difficulties can you help with?
Our team of child adolescent psychologists supports a wide range of mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, low mood, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), trauma, self-harm, anger issues, behavioural difficulties, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We also work with children and families dealing with autism, eating disorders, and challenges affecting family relationships.
Whether your child is experiencing stress at school, struggling with their emotions, or facing more complex mental health difficulties, we adapt our approach to their child’s developmental stage.
What age ranges do you work with?
We work with younger children, older children, teenagers, adolescents, and young adults, typically up to the age of 24. We deliberately avoid the rigid age boundaries that often separate child and adolescent mental health services from adult psychological services, so young people can continue their care with us as they transition into early adulthood.
Our approach is carefully adapted to suit each stage of development, ensuring children, teenagers, and young adults all feel genuinely supported throughout their time with us.
Do You Offer Online Sessions And In-Person Appointments?
We offer both online sessions and face to face sessions at our Marylebone practice in North West London. This gives families the choice to attend in a way that suits their circumstances and daily routine. Some families prefer to attend in person, while others find online sessions more practical. In both cases, the same level of care, support, and professional therapy is provided by our experienced team.
How Do I Book And Do You Work With Insurers?
You can contact our practice by phone, email, or WhatsApp to book an appointment. Our practice administrator will guide you through the process and help you arrange your first session with the right psychologist for your child.
We work with many insurers and can explain fees and payment options clearly. Our clinical director and team aim to make the process simple, clear, and focused on helping your child and family get the support they need.
