Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bright Fox Health?
Bright Fox Health provide support for young people aged 11–25 to improve their emotional wellbeing. We help young people feel calmer, more confident, and better able to cope with everyday challenges – at home, at school, and in life.
Do Bright Fox provide therapy?
Coaching is not therapy — it’s non-clinical, skills-based support. Bright Fox does also offer a separate therapy service, delivered by qualified therapists, for when deeper support is needed.
Who is Bright Fox for?
BrightFox may be helpful if your young person is experiencing:
- Anxiety or emotional overwhelm
- ADHD-related challenges
- Low confidence or self-esteem
- Behavioural or emotional regulation difficulties
- School, university, or life stress
- Difficulties with focus, motivation, or routines
What ages do you work with?
We specialise in working with young people aged 11–25, with age-appropriate support for:
- Ages 11–14
- Ages 15–18
- Ages 19–25
What happens in a coaching session?
Sessions are one-to-one and usually weekly. They focus on helping young people understand what they’re feeling, feel emotionally safe, and learn practical tools they can use in everyday situations.
How is Bright Fox different from counseling or therapy?
Are parents involved?
Yes – especially for younger clients. We work closely with parents while also respecting the young person’s privacy. Parents are supported with guidance and practical strategies to help progress continue at home.
Do you support young people with ADHD?
Yes. We regularly support young people with ADHD or ADHD-related challenges, focusing on emotional regulation, attention, routines, motivation, and confidence – whether or not they are receiving medical treatment.
Do young people need a diagnosis?
No. A diagnosis is not required. BrightFox supports young people based on their needs, not labels.
Do you work with families outside the UK?
Yes. Bright Fox supports families internationally through online sessions where appropriate. Please book a consultation or contact us to discuss your requirements.
What if my child needs more support?
Bright Fox is not a crisis or emergency service. If specialist psychological, psychiatric, or medical care is needed, we support families in accessing trusted external professionals.
How do we get started?
You can begin by booking an initial consultation. This helps us understand your concerns, explain how Bright Fox works, and decide together whether it’s the right fit for your family.
Is Bright Fox Health registered with the CQC?
No — and here’s why. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates specific “regulated activities” in England, such as medical treatment, diagnostic procedures and personal care. Talking therapies, counselling and coaching are not regulated activities under the Health and Social Care Act, so providers like Bright Fox are not required — or able — to register with the CQC.
That doesn’t mean we operate without standards. Our coaches are MSc-trained in psychology, and all practitioners work under regular supervision with robust safeguarding policies. Your data is handled in accordance with UK GDPR. If a young person ever needs clinical or medical care, we’ll say so — and help you find the right route.
How much does Bright Fox cost?
Mental Health Coaching is £100 per session, with no minimum commitment. The Bright Fox Programme — our structured 10-week coaching programme — is £1,250, including the initial assessment, parent updates, and final review. Therapy is from £150 per session. Every journey starts with a free consultation.
