ADHD
Autism
AuDHD
It's not just about a label
People come to us for different reasons. Some need practical access to support. Others need to finally understand why life has felt so hard. All of them deserve both.
🔑
Workplace adjustments and Access to Work
A formal diagnosis gives you legal standing to request reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act. It also unlocks the government's Access to Work scheme - funding for coaching, equipment, and support that can transform your working life.
💊
Access to medication
For ADHD, medication can be life-changing - but you can't access it without a formal assessment. We offer a clear pathway from diagnosis through to prescribing, with a consultant psychiatrist who can initiate and manage medication.
🎓
Disabled Students' Allowance
If you're studying, a diagnosis gives you access to DSA: funding for specialist mentoring, assistive technology, and exam adjustments. It can be the difference between struggling in silence and actually thriving at university.
🤝
Better relationships and communication
When you understand your sensory needs, your communication style, and why certain situations overwhelm you, your relationships change. Partners, family, and friends finally have a framework to understand what you need.
🧠
Self-understanding and identity
Why has everything always felt harder? Why do you mask, crash, and burn out in cycles? A diagnosis can reframe decades of experiences, not as personal failure, but as a brain that works differently in a world that wasn't designed for it.
🧒
A clearer path for your child
If your child is struggling at school, socially, or at home, a diagnosis can unlock the support they need. It gives schools a framework for reasonable adjustments, strengthens EHCP applications, and helps local authorities understand what your child actually requires, not just what's easiest to provide.
You get an answer. Then you're on your own
For most people, getting diagnosed is just the beginning. That's when the real questions start, what does this mean for my work, my relationships, my sense of self? We built The Bright Centre because we believe the answer and the support should come from the same place. One team that knows your story, from the first conversation through to the life you're building afterwards.
What we're aiming to solve
What a diagnosis should actually give you
✅ A process that sees the whole person
not just whether you meet criteria, but how your brain shows up across your life, your culture, your history. Especially for women, people of colour, and anyone who's learned to mask or adapt.
✅ A clear path forward
not just a report, but guidance on medication, workplace adjustments, how to talk to your employer, and support through the identity shift that often follows.
✅ Clinical credibility that's recognised everywhere
NICE-aligned, HCPC-registered, and designed to be accepted by your GP, employer, university, or benefits provider first time.
Our Solution (because there's a huge gap we need to fill)
Right now in the UK, you can get a private ADHD or autism assessment. And separately, you might find a therapist or a coach. But there is no single place that brings clinical diagnosis, post-diagnostic coaching, and ongoing navigation together under one roof.
1️⃣
Clarity through a holistic diagnosis
Our clinician, Samuel, builds a detailed picture of how your brain works, not just identifying whether you meet diagnostic criteria, which is where most assessments stop.
2️⃣
Understanding through coaching
Not therapy. Not fixing. A space to understand how your diagnosis connects to your lived experience - your work, your relationships, your energy, your identity. Where are you now? What do you need?
3️⃣
Navigation through tailored resources & programmes
Practical support to act on what you've learned: workplace adjustments, medication, routines, disclosure, benefit applications, relationship conversations, school adjustments, EHCP support. Real life, not theory.
Alongside the diagnostic process, you receive a comprehensive cognitive profile
This maps how and where your neurodivergence shows up across your life, giving you clarity on your strengths, challenges, and real-world patterns. This means you don’t just leave with a diagnosis. You leave with a deep, practical understanding of yourself, and a clear foundation for what comes next.
Holistic diagnosis
Built for people the system wasn't designed for
We're not here to fix you. We're here to help you understand how your brain works, and build a life around it, not against it.
Removing the 'scary'
Clinical assessments don't have to feel clinical. We explain every step before it happens. There are no surprises, no cold waiting rooms, no feeling like you're being examined. You're having a conversation with someone who wants to understand you.
Being heard - properly
So many people tell us they've spent their whole life feeling unseen. Our process is built to listen: to your experience, your masking, your culture, your history. Diagnostic criteria weren't designed for everyone, our process is.
Holistic, not checklist
We look beyond scores to understand how your nervous system interacts with your environment, your relationships, and your life stage. Your story matters as much as any clinical measure.
Coaching as the bridge
After diagnosis, you don't need to be "treated." You need to understand what this means for your life and how to navigate it. That's coaching: practical, forward-looking, grounded in your reality.
A note from Tanya, Founder
"We're building the UK's first full-support neurodiversity centre. That's exciting, and it also means we're figuring out how to make it the only and the best."
— Tanya Bright, MSc Neuroscience
I'd love your help. Join the list, tell us what you need, come to our webinars, and give us feedback. The people who join now will help us build something that truly serves the community - a place where diagnosis and support finally sit under one roof.
Meet the people behind the process
We're family - literally. A clinical psychologist and a neurodiversity coach who are also cousins, combining clinical expertise with neuroscience, a decade of coaching and lived experience to build something neither could do alone. We work with external psychiatrists and specialist clinicians from Samuel's professional network to ensure we can support the full pathway, from diagnosis through to medication management and complex presentations. Our clinical team grows as we do.
Dr Samuel Landau
DClinPsy · NHS-trained · Founder of SEE
Samuel is Tanya's cousin, and the reason The Bright Centre has real clinical depth. A clinical psychologist who has worked across the NHS and in private practice, Samuel runs his own consultancy, but when Tanya came to him with her vision for a different kind of service, he was all in. He'd seen too many people wait years for an assessment, only to receive a checklist and a PDF. He wanted to be part of something that does it properly: thorough, human, and built to actually change the way people understand themselves.
Tanya Bright MSc
Founder · Neurodiversity Expert & Coach
Tanya has spent years working with hundreds of neurodivergent individuals through the moments that follow a diagnosis - the identity shifts, the school battles, the relationship recalibrations, the grief and the relief. She built The Bright Centre because she kept asking the same question: why does the support stop the moment someone gets their answer? She wanted to create the place she wished existed for every person she'd ever worked with, somewhere diagnosis is just the starting point.
Hear From Our Clients
"You helped me realise I'd spent most of my life masking and people-pleasing instead of embracing who I am. It's been life-changing, though I've grieved my past knowing how different things could have been if I'd been understood sooner. You're never too old to get help."
Sally Clayton
"At the start of the programme I was pressing self-destruct on my entire life. Fast forward 8 weeks, I've been considered for a promotion, started counselling with my partner, launched my own business, and finally found some peace within myself. For anyone who is late-diagnosed and struggling to understand who they are, put your trust in Tanya. I never believed thriving was possible. Now I can see the road to it."
Kirsy Randall
"Tanya’s insight into the double and triple empathy problem helped open up a discussion in our team as well as giving colleagues and managers plenty to reflect on. Her friendly and non-judgemental manner paired with confidence in her knowledge and delivery made her a welcome guest to our EDI chat."

Two ways to get started.
We lead with ADHD assessments first - delivered with more depth than most providers.
Autism, combined with children's assessments, is coming soon. Staged payment options and funding/insurance cover are being explored.
ADHD Assessment | Online | Starting May 2026
The ADHD Clarity Assessment
This isn't a checklist. It's a holistic clinical process to understand how ADHD is showing up in your brain - including strengths, challenges, and patterns.
→ A proper intro conversation - not a form. We talk through what you're experiencing so nothing gets missed before the assessment starts.
→ Clinical screening tools - validated questionnaires that give Samuel a structured picture of how ADHD shows up across different areas of your life.
→ An in-depth clinical interview - the heart of the assessment. A real conversation about your history, your experiences, and the patterns traditional screening often misses.
→ The DIVA assessment - the gold-standard diagnostic interview for adult ADHD, looking at how symptoms have shown up across your lifetime, not just right now.
→ A cognitive assessment - this is what most clinics don't include. It maps how your brain actually processes information: attention, memory, processing speed, so you don't just get a yes or no; you understand how ADHD is affecting your thinking.
→ A full written report - not a template. A comprehensive diagnostic report designed to be accepted by your GP, employer, university, or benefits provider.
→ A feedback call - Samuel walks you through everything: what the results mean, what your options are, and what to do next. You leave with clarity, not just paperwork.

ADHD Assessment + Coaching Support | Online | Starting May 2026

→ Everything in the ADHD Clarity Assessment - the full clinical process above, from intro call through to feedback.
→ 6 hours of 1:1 coaching with Tanya - dedicated time to work through what your diagnosis means for your work, your relationships, your energy, and your identity.
→ Integration support - help with the identity shift that often follows diagnosis, navigating your nervous system, and building strategies that actually fit your brain.
→ Practical navigation - workplace adjustments, disclosure decisions, benefit applications, routines, relationship conversations. The real-life stuff no one else helps with.
→ Additional resources & tools - curated materials to support you between sessions and beyond.

"What if I go through this and I'm not neurodivergent?"
This is one of the most common questions people have, and it's a good one. Whatever the result, the process itself gives you a deeper understanding of how your brain works.
If you are neurodivergent, you'll leave with clarity, validation, and a concrete support plan. If you're not, you'll still leave with insight into what's going on, and we'll help you find the right next step, whether that's therapy, coaching, career guidance, or something else entirely.
We're building partnerships with trusted organisations across mental health and wellbeing so that no one leaves The Bright Centre without a direction forward.

Questions you may have
Our assessments are NICE-aligned and led by Samuel - HCPC-registered clinical psychologist, which means they meet the standards the NHS requires. Most GPs will accept them, and we provide you with a comprehensive report specifically designed to be shared with your GP. We can also help you navigate any pushback, including guidance on Right to Choose and Shared Care Agreements.
Right to Choose is an NHS pathway that allows you to request a private assessment funded by the NHS. Whether TBC will be a Right to Choose provider depends on local NHS agreements which are still being established. Join the waitlist and we'll update you as soon as this is confirmed. In the meantime, you can self-fund directly.
All our assessments are available remotely via secure video call, which is particularly important for people who find clinical environments overwhelming, who are in burnout, or who have travel limitations. For autism assessments, we send a sealed materials kit to your home in advance. You'll be in your own space, which many people find actually produces a more authentic assessment than a clinical setting where masking kicks in.
Yes - for individuals, we work with psychiatrists from Samuel's clinical network who can initiate and manage ADHD medication. This means you have a clear pathway from diagnosis through to prescribing, with support from your GP via a Shared Care Agreement. Medication prescribing for children is not yet available, but we're working to add this to our service.
Our autism assessments use the ADOS-2 (Module 4), the gold-standard diagnostic tool, adapted for secure remote delivery. We send you a sealed materials kit in advance, then conduct the assessment via video call with a high-quality camera setup that captures facial expressions, gestures, and tabletop activities. For straightforward presentations, Samuel can complete the full assessment independently. For complex or diagnostically uncertain cases, he draws on MDT consultation to ensure the assessment is thorough and defensible.
Yes, we offer assessments for children aged 5 and above. Our reports are specifically designed for schools, SENCOs, local authorities, and EHCP applications — giving your child's support network the clinical evidence they need to put the right adjustments in place. Book a free introductory call to discuss your child's needs and we'll guide you through the process.
Yes. Neurodivergent conditions are recognised as disabilities under the Equality Act, even if you don't personally identify as disabled. A formal diagnosis can support applications for PIP, ESA, and other benefits by providing clinical evidence of how your condition affects your daily life.
We're working on staged payment options specifically because we know cost is a barrier, and it shouldn't be another source of shame. We'll share pricing details and payment plan options before you commit to anything. Joining the list is completely free and doesn't commit you to booking.
No. Joining the list means you'll receive a pre-assessment guide, a webinar invitation, and priority booking links when slots open. You can unsubscribe at any time. No payment is taken and no clinical information is collected until you actively choose to book an assessment.
