School Talks That Change Behaviour, Build Resilience & Boost Student Success

Young people today face pressures no previous generation has ever experienced — from vaping culture to rising anxiety, exam stress, and the constant noise of social media. Schools are doing everything they can, but sometimes students need to hear the right message from a fresh voice.

As a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and motivational speaker, Jonny Wootton deliver’s high‑impact, psychology‑driven talks that create real change in the room — not just for the day, but long after he’s left the building.

His sessions are fast‑paced, engaging, and grounded in behavioural science. They’re designed to shift thinking, challenge habits, and give students practical tools they can use immediately.

STOP VAPING IN SCHOOLS

A One‑Hour Masterclass That Cuts Through the Noise

Vaping has become one of the biggest behavioural challenges in UK schools. Students know it’s harmful — yet the habit continues. Why? Because information alone doesn’t change behaviour. Psychology does.

This powerful one‑hour assembly or classroom session uses behavioural psychology, real‑world stories, and mindset techniques to help students:

• Understand how vaping hijacks the brain
• Break the social and emotional triggers that keep them vaping
• Build confidence to say “no” without losing social status
• See through the marketing tactics designed to hook them
• Make decisions based on identity, not impulse

This isn’t a lecture. It’s an eye‑opening, interactive experience that leaves students motivated to take back control of their choices.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

A Practical, Psychology‑Based Guide for Young Minds

Mental health is no longer a “nice to have” topic — it’s essential. This talk gives students a clear, relatable understanding of how their mind works and what they can do to protect it.

Students learn:

• How thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact
• Simple daily habits that improve mood and resilience
• How to manage anxiety and overwhelm

• How to build a healthier relationship with themselves

The session is uplifting, empowering, and packed with strategies students can use immediately — in school, at home, and in their future lives.
