About us

Gray Matter provides psychological and neuropsychological assessment and treatment services to patients in Oxfordshire and surrounding counties.

It was founded in 2024 and, whilst it is a young organisation, it is one with a wealth of clinical experience, with all of our clinicians having at least a decade of post-doctoral experience and most having worked in the field of psychology for over 20 years. All of our clinicians were trained in the NHS and most continue to work in the public-sector; indeed, many of our staff are actively involved in training the next generation of Clinical Neuropsychologists for the NHS.

Our clinicians bring a diverse set of skills to their clinical work, and it is this diversity in approach that allows us to provide care that centres around each individual patient’s needs. However, our team is united in sharing the goal of providing high quality and innovative interventions for those under our care. We ensure that the patient and their family remain at the heart of our work. We strive for excellence, and our clinicians not only keep abreast of the latest scientific developments in the field of neuropsychological practice; they actively contribute to this literature.

All our clinicians are chartered members of the British Psychological Society and are registered with the main regulatory body for Clinical Psychologists and Neuropsychologists, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). We also ensure that all our clinicians have regular DBS (criminal record) checks and that they hold appropriate indemnity insurance. We actively support our staff to engage in continuous learning so that the interventions they provide are evidence-based and are shaped by latest developments in the scientific literature.

Please take a moment to look at our clinicians’ biographies below, which include a copy of their CV as well as their areas of specialism. We accept referrals from self-funders as well as solicitors, case managers, and other health and social care professionals. We provide domiciliary visits as well as the option of patients being seen at our office in north Oxford. We also offer the option of remote appointments as well as in-person sessions. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further.

We approached Dr Gray after becoming concerned about my father-in-law’s cognitive abilities. From the initial appointment through to the diagnostic testing, Dr Gray was a pleasure to deal with. Patient, caring and incredibly knowledgeable, he was able to ascertain whether the issues were simply a case of ‘old age’ or something else. The report's thoroughness subsequently helped when approaching our GP, who commented that it ‘made their job much easier’ to work out an ongoing plan of action. I would highly recommend Gray Matters if you are in need of the services of a caring, compassionate psychologist.

Mr G. Taylor, relative of former patient

I have known Dr Gray as a valued colleague for over 20 years and have frequently made referrals to him with confidence. I know him to be a conscientious, evidence-based and insightful clinician. He has a wide range of experience in assessment and rehabilitation across the lifespan in both inpatient and community settings.

Dr Richard Scott, Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist, Litigation Expert

A friend of my husband's recommended Dr Boothroyd after I began feeling increasingly frustrated with organisational tasks and mental load. As a woman in her 40s, I had a diagnosis of dyslexia from childhood but felt that my struggles were not fully explained by this. Dr Boothroyd took the time to listen to my concerns and my history from a personal and professional perspective. Following the assessment, he was able to diagnose ADHD and explain some of the options available for me to help manage the symptoms. I cannot explain how much of a game changer this has been for me as well as for my family.

Ms M. Osborne, former patient

Dr Gray is an exceptional neuropsychologist and of the highest calibre. He works excellently with clients, family and MDT in often challenging circumstances. He is my ‘go to’ neuropsychologist for all my clients and I look forward to working with him for future clients.
