About Strong Minds International

At Strong Minds International (SMI), we are dedicated to helping individuals, athletes, teams, and organisations unlock their full potential through evidence-based psychological support and performance enhancement strategies.

Our experienced team of therapists, trainers, and speakers brings together a diverse range of expertise to support mental wellbeing, resilience, confidence, and peak performance. Whether your goal is to improve performance in sport, business, education, or everyday life, we provide tailored interventions designed to meet your unique needs.

We recognise that every individual faces different challenges and opportunities. That’s why we begin with a FREE, no-obligation consultation, allowing us to understand your circumstances, discuss your objectives, and recommend the most appropriate pathway forward.

Our services draw upon a range of established psychological approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
  • Hypnotherapy
  • Psychotherapy
  • Thought Field Therapy (TFT)

What sets SMI apart is the combination of professional expertise and real-world experience. Alongside our qualified practitioners, our team includes former professional athletes who understand first-hand the psychological demands of performing under pressure, overcoming setbacks, and succeeding at the highest levels of competition.

Our mission is simple: to help people develop stronger minds, build resilience, and perform at their best—both in and beyond their chosen arena.

If you’re ready to take the next step towards improved performance, wellbeing, and personal growth, contact us today to arrange your FREE consultation and discover how our tailored interventions can support your journey.

The Strong Minds Team

Jonny Wootton (MA, Cert Ed, D.Hyp, Cert DBT)

Jonny Wootton (MA, Cert Ed, D.Hyp, Cert DBT)

Motivational Speaker and Director of Training

Jonny began coaching 30 years ago when he was just 19 years old. By his own admission, not good enough to be a professional athlete, the next best choice was to help people be the best possible versions of themselves.

He has personally worked with athletes that have represented Great Britain at the Olympic Games, and other professional sports people (Premier League Football, Professional Golf and Rugby League). He also has considerable experience (12 years) as a psychotherapist/hypnotherapist and lecturer/ trainer.

Selette MacNerland (BSc Psychology)

Relationship Director

Chicago-based Selette, a graduate in psychology with PhD credits, heads up SMI operations in the United States of America.

Selette is an expert at maintaining and growing partnerships and ensuring that SMI clients get an outstanding service every time.

On Selette, Jonny Wootton said: “We needed representation in the United States and found a real gem in Selette.

“I personally wanted someone who really cared and was also skilled at retaining business and ensuring we are providing a first-class service at all times. We have that in Selette.”

Just imagine if everyone involved in your team had unshakable belief, resilience to keep going and remain strong in adversity, the ability to visualize success and have an unconscious mind that is always working harmoniously with your conscious mind.  And, importantly, to have a team full of individuals that can find complete meaning in their role in the team, meaning their daily motivation is guaranteed.”
