About Brilliant Brain
At Brilliant Brain, I believe every learner is creative, capable, and full of potential, regardless of where they begin. Through warm, personalised, and practical support, I help individuals develop the skills, confidence, and strategies they need to thrive in education, work, and everyday life.
At the heart of Brilliant Brain is a simple mission: to remove barriers to learning and empower individuals with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) to understand their strengths and achieve their goals.
Meet Karyn
I am a dyslexia specialist and founder of Brilliant Brain. I work with adults, young people, and children, helping them understand how they learn and build the skills and confidence to succeed.
My commitment to this work is deeply personal. As a parent who has been through the journey of seeking answers for my own child, I understand first-hand the challenges, questions, and emotions that individuals and families can experience. That understanding shapes everything I do.
Brilliant Brain was founded from both professional experience and personal insight into what dyslexia can look and feel like from the inside.
This is the story behind the work.
MY STORY
It started with my daughter
My journey into dyslexia support began when my daughter was struggling to make progress in primary school. She had a fertile imagination and a rich vocabulary, but found it extremely difficult to read and to express her ideas in writing.
As her frustration grew, I tried to help her by creating fun, multisensory games, and visual resources to keep her motivated and engaged. I even introduced mindfulness activities to help reduce her anxiety and support self-regulation. As her confidence developed, so did my interest in how individuals learn differently.
I went on to complete a Master’s degree in Special Educational Needs. During this time, I began to recognise that my daughter’s difficulties were consistent with dyslexia. A formal assessment later confirmed this.
Although the diagnosis provided some clarity, I became increasingly aware of how difficult it was to access clear, practical guidance at different stages of education. This led me to train as a dyslexia specialist and gain experience across a range of settings, including schools, universities, and workplace settings.
At the time, I had no understanding of dyslexia. I was simply trying to find ways to support my daughter's learning.
Through this work, I have discovered that many individuals progress through education or employment without a clear understanding of how they process information.
Brilliant Brain Dyslexia developed from this experience, with a focus on providing clear assessments and practical, comprehensive support.
Today, I work with adults, young people and children, helping them understand their learning profile and develop their skills for education, work, and everyday life.
And for context - ten years on, my daughter is now a confident reader who enjoys learning and continues to be highly creative.

"Working with Karyn was honestly a game-changer. She helped me improve in areas I didn't even realise I was struggling with.
I grew so much - not just academically, but in how confident I felt in my own abilities."
