Summary
Dr Georgie Boothroyd is an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and BPS-registered Clinical Neuropsychologist with over 15 years of experience specialising in neurodevelopmental and neurological conditions.
He completed his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Oxford in 2009 and later obtained the Qualification in Clinical Neuropsychology in 2019 — the gold standard post-doctoral neuropsychology qualification available in the UK. This specialist training supports his ability to understand the complex relationship between brain function, cognition, behaviour, and day-to-day life.
Georgie specialises in autism and ADHD assessments for teenagers and adults, particularly where individuals may have reached adolescence or adulthood without a clear understanding of why certain aspects of life have consistently felt more difficult. He is Clinical Lead for Neurodevelopmental Services at Oxford CBT and offers both face-to-face and remote appointments.
Families and clients often value Georgie’s calm, thoughtful approach and his ability to help people feel understood throughout the assessment process.
Experience
Georgie has worked across NHS and independent specialist neuropsychology services throughout his career.
During his time at Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, he was a senior member of an Autism and ADHD assessment service and completed additional training in NICE-recommended assessment tools for neurodevelopmental assessment. A key part of this role involved differential diagnosis and understanding the interaction between mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions.
He later worked as Principal Clinical Neuropsychologist at the Oxford Centre for Enablement, part of Oxford University Hospitals — one of the UK’s leading specialist neurorehabilitation and neuropsychology services.
These experiences developed his expertise in complex neurological and neurodevelopmental presentations across adolescence and adulthood.
Alongside his direct assessment work, Georgie has extensive experience leading multidisciplinary assessment and formulation, helping ensure that outcomes are considered carefully within the broader context of an individual’s history, functioning, and lived experience.
His background across specialist NHS neuropsychology services allows him to bring a high level of clinical depth and diagnostic rigour to the assessment process, while maintaining a supportive and person-centred approach.
Approach
Georgie’s approach is calm, collaborative, and deliberately unhurried.
He understands that many teenagers and adults seeking assessment have spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or uncertain about why certain aspects of daily life, relationships, work, or education have felt unusually difficult.
Rather than focusing only on whether diagnostic criteria are met, Georgie takes time to understand the wider picture — including patterns of attention, emotional wellbeing, coping strategies, masking, strengths, and day-to-day functioning across different environments.
He is a strong advocate for neuroaffirmative, strengths-based assessment and believes a good assessment should help people better understand themselves, not simply leave with a diagnosis.
Assessment findings are reviewed carefully within Oxford CBT’s multidisciplinary team, helping ensure conclusions and recommendations are thoughtful, balanced, and clinically robust.
For many clients, the process is as important as the outcome. Being heard, validated, and understood — often for the first time — can itself be transformative.

What Clients Say
“Georgie was calming and understanding throughout — which made a real difference as I was feeling very anxious and emotional leading up to my appointment. He gave me time when I struggled with answers or got a bit lost in my thoughts. A truly supportive experience from start to finish.”
