Talks that inform, challenge and stay with you
Psychologically informed and grounded in evidence — but designed to connect, not overwhelm. Dan speaks to school teams, professional associations and conference audiences on the issues that matter most.
Topics and themes
Dan speaks across a broad range of subjects. Each talk is developed collaboratively, shaped around the needs and context of your audience.
The climate crisis, children and young people
What the science tells us, what children are experiencing emotionally, and what psychology, and schools, can offer in response.
Eco-anxiety and emotional wellbeing
Understanding eco-anxiety, grief, anger and hope in children and adults, how to recognise them, talk about them, and respond thoughtfully.
Neuroscience, education and the critical lens
A thoughtful challenge to 'brain-based' thinking in schools — examining what the evidence really says and how psychology can reclaim the conversation.
Teacher and staff wellbeing
Resilience, purpose and professional sustainability for staff — drawing on psychology to think differently about what schools can do for the people in them.
Educational psychology beyond the assessment
The wider potential of psychological knowledge and skills — and what genuinely collaborative, community-oriented EP practice can look like.
Social justice and psychology in practice
How psychological skills can be brought to bear on systemic inequality — and what it means to carry ethics through to every aspect of practice.
These are starting points, not a fixed list. Get in touch to discuss what would work best for your event or audience.
Working together
Every event is different. Dan works with you in advance to shape the focus, tone and format around your audience — so what gets said feels relevant, not generic.
Whole-school staff days, trust conference keynotes, professional association events, public lectures, panel discussions
Keynote, workshop, or facilitated session — online or in-person, nationally and internationally
Developed collaboratively with you — topics and framing are shaped around the needs of your specific audience
