Wondering if there is something more going on?
Every child is unique and so is the way they learn, focus, and respond to the world around them. You might have started to notice certain patterns:
- Your child seems easily distracted or forgetful
- They’re full of energy and always on the go or often seem distant or daydreamy
- Routines, schoolwork, or friendships feel like a daily struggle
- Their emotions can feel intense or hard to manage
These experiences can be challenging for them, and for you. But they don’t necessarily mean something is “wrong.” They may simply be signs that your child’s brain works a little differently.
At Bright Star ADHD, we’re here to help you explore these questions with understanding and care. Our child and teen ADHD assessments are designed to give you clear, professional insight and the support you need to move forward with confidence.
You’re not alone. And we’re here to help.

"I felt heard and understood for the first time.
I was on the fence about whether a diagnosis would help, but it is the best money I have ever spent. "
'If you are considering an assessment, go with Bright Star. Terri talked me through the process on the phone and immediately put me at ease. The assessment is not tick box. It was a thorough (and emotional) 3 plus hours, where I felt heard and understood for the first time. I was on the fence about whether a diagnosis would help, but it is the best money I have ever spent. Thank you again Terri for literally changing my life.'

Get Answers for Your Child Sooner
Without the years of waiting
NHS waiting times for children’s ADHD assessments can stretch across several years in many areas. Choosing Bright Star means your child can receive the understanding and support they need much sooner — helping your family move forward with greater confidence, less daily strain, and without the prolonged uncertainty of long waiting lists.
Treatment and Support for your Child
Every young person is different, so support should reflect their individual needs, strengths and goals. After an assessment, we can help you and your child understand the options, answer your questions and consider what kind of support may be helpful.
For young people aged 12 and over, Bright Star ADHD offers medication support and ADHD-focused hypnotherapy. We can talk you through how each option works and help you decide what feels right for you and your child.
"Thank God I was recommended to Bright Star."
‘ I was desperate for some answers and always felt a bit like a fish out of water, but thank god I was recommended to Bright Star. With my new diagnosis not only do I have some answers but also am finding more and more support. If you are at all unsure or curious I recommend that you give them a try.‘
