Getting Started
Questions we often get asked
What is The Bright Centre?
The Bright Centre is an integrated neurodivergent assessment and coaching platform for adults, young people, families, students and organisations.
We help people move beyond surface-level awareness into deeper understanding, practical support and real-life change. Our work brings together clinical assessment, cognitive profiling, neurodivergent-affirming coaching, community support and clear next steps.
Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?
No. You can come to us if you are exploring ADHD, autism or AuDHD, already diagnosed, supporting a child, or simply trying to understand what kind of help you need.
Where should I start?
Start with a free clarity call. We’ll talk through what’s going on, what support you’ve already had and which pathway may be the best fit.
What makes your approach different?
We do not focus only on labels. We help you understand how your brain works and what practical support, systems and next steps could help in real life.
Assessments
Questions we often get asked
What assessments do you offer?
We currently only offer online ADHD assessments, including options with cognitive profiling for a deeper understanding of how your brain processes, remembers, focuses and solves problems.
Will I receive a diagnosis?
Where appropriate, the assessment can confirm whether you meet criteria for ADHD or another neurodivergent profile. You will also receive clear guidance on what your results mean.
Coaching & Post-Diagnosis Support
Questions we often get asked
What is The Bright Pathway?
The Bright Pathway is a longer support journey that combines assessment, coaching, identity work, practical systems and a personalised “Living With My Brain” plan.
Can I work with you if I was diagnosed somewhere else?
Yes. Many people come to us after receiving a diagnosis elsewhere but feeling unsure what to do next.
What happens in a coaching session?
Each coaching session is 60 minutes and takes place online, so you can join from the comfort of your own home. Sessions are calm, supportive and practical. We explore what is feeling difficult, what support may help, and which tools or strategies could make everyday life feel more manageable.
You do not need to remember everything during the session. Notes, tools and agreed next steps are written up and emailed to you afterwards, so you can come back to them in your own time.
Our aim is for you to leave feeling heard, validated and clearer about yourself, with practical support you can actually use.
Fees, Funding & Access
Questions we often get asked
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans may be available depending on the service.
Can Access to Work help?
For eligible clients, Access to Work may help cover part or all of the coaching element.
How much does support cost?
We have set costs for each pathway. There are varied assessment costs, and coaching options vary depending on the level of clinical input, cognitive profiling, and ongoing support included. You can see our fees list here.
