Neuropsychological assessment

Image 3 Neuro Assessment
Neuropsychological assessment is a well-established evidence-based method used to examine whether a person is suffering from a neurological impairment.

Through the completion of neuropsychological tests, it is possible to determine whether an individual has a neurological deficit, the location of this neurological damage, the potential cause, and the likely impact on a person’s day-to-day life. It can also provide important clues that allow a clinician to tailor your cognitive rehabilitation plan to your individual needs.

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

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

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.

Anne Armitage, Case Manager, Bush & Co

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.
