About Neuro Pathways
Neuropathways is here to help adults, children and families better understand neurodiversity and get the tailored support they need.

Why people choose us
Support built on trust, accountability and recognised standards
When you are choosing someone to support you or your family, it is important to know what sits behind the care you receive.
Our Welsh healthcare services are registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW). Registration provides independent oversight of the wider service, including the systems, governance and standards that support the care we provide.
That sits alongside the professional and clinical standards behind our work. Our team works within appropriate professional registrations, our clinical practice follows relevant NICE guidance, and our wider certifications support quality management, information security and responsible ways of working.
These standards may not always be visible during an appointment, but they are an important part of creating a service that is safe, evidence informed, accountable and always looking for ways to improve.
From your first discovery call to your final report, we keep things straightforward, explain each step in plain language and tailor assessments to your communication style and needs.
Our experienced clinicians include psychologists, counsellors, speech and language therapists and support workers—working together to provide holistic, evidence-based care.
We offer meaningful follow-up including coaching, practical strategies and emotional support to help you thrive in everyday life at home, work or school.
Our Centre
Our in-person appointments take place at dedicated clinical hubs within Swansea and Uddingston’s Beacon Centres for Health. Designed to be comfortable, discreet and accessible, the spaces include private rooms for assessments, coaching and therapy—each furnished to put individuals of all ages at ease.
The centres are easy to reach by public transport or car, with free parking on-site and accessible entrances throughout. We’ve created calm environments that support the needs of neurodivergent individuals, including quiet waiting areas, clear signage and flexible appointment options.
If you’d prefer to connect from home, we also offer secure remote assessments and coaching via video.
We explore how you process information, solve problems and prefer to learn – screening for dyslexia, dyspraxia and other learning differences.
Our multidisciplinary team carries out thorough ADHD and autism evaluations using gold-standard tools and friendly interviews.
We explain the results in plain English with clear answers.
Diagnosis is just one part of the journey. Support is what makes the real difference. We offer coaching, therapy, and guidance that helps translate insight into day-to-day strategies for improving your quality of life.
Neuropathways is one of several specialist services within Health is One – a group of organisations united by a single mission: to support every aspect of psychological wellbeing through evidence-based, joined-up care.

We build trust through transparency, and delivering on our promises.
We act with honesty and uphold ethical standards in everything we do.
We recognise the diverse needs and strengths of every individual.
We set high standards and strive to deliver meaningful, lasting impact in everything we do.
