Managing Exams
without losing the plot
Exams can turn even the calmest heads inside out. One minute everything feels manageable, the next it’s panic mode, racing thoughts and a brain that won’t switch off.
In this powerful 90-minute recorded seminar, Dermot breaks down what stress actually is, the difference between good stress and bad stress, and why your brain goes into panic mode like a phone on 1% battery during exam season. You’ll learn simple, scientifically proven tools to calm your nervous system, manage anxiety, improve sleep and feel more in control, without lectures, clichés or “just relax” nonsense.
Designed for anyone dealing with exam pressure right now. That includes students sitting exams, parents supporting them, and anyone watching someone they care about struggle with stress, this session isn’t about cramming more things into your already busy schedule or rolling out “heard it all before” study tips.
It’s about learning how to keep the head, use stress properly, and show up for your exams feeling steadier, clearer and more confident.
No pressure. No judgment. Just practical ways to get through any exam without losing the plot.

Happy New Year everyone! It’s not only a new year but it is Episode 50 of The Mind Full Podcast! This week, there’s a very special episode in store for you.
What if the reason change feels so hard isn’t a lack of discipline, motivation, or willpower? In Episode 50 of The Mind Full Podcast, I take a slower, more honest look at busyness, burnout, and the pressure we put on ourselves to “do better” every year. I share my own personal experience from 2017 that changed how I look at stress, self-criticism, and why forcing yourself rarely works.
This isn’t about letting yourself off the hook. It’s about removing the things that are quietly holding you back. Along the way, I explore self-compassion, curiosity, and how noticing what’s actually going on in your head can be the most effective starting point for real change. No guest, no fixing, just a conversation, a bit of breathing space, and a gentler way to approach the year ahead.
If you’re new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!

Join Me in Kilimanjaro!
Join me for the adventure of a lifetime next January 2024! I’ve teamed up with global leaders and all-round adventure legends, Earth’s Edge, to bring you a bucket list event like no other. 20 of us will venture to Tanzania to climb the world’s tallest free standing mountain and take in some of the most incredible sights and landscapes the beautiful continent of Africa has to offer. We’ll meditate together on the mountain, embracing this amazing opportunity to let go of the the things in our life we no longer need and set our trajectory for how we’d like to see our life unfold, all in the shadow of the immense Mount Kilimanjaro. You will challenge yourself, share the experience with other wonderful like-minded souls and see the world from a truly different and magical viewpoint. You don’t have to have any mountaineering experience, just a sense of adventure, a willingness to step out of your comfort zone and a strong desire to shout “let’s do this!” 😄 Feeling like this adventure is calling you? Just click the button below for all the details on the trek and how to sign up!

I’ve been standing on comedy stages and talking to millions of people on the radio for 20 years. Over that time I’ve come to realise that a lot of our problems stem from taking ourselves and our lives too seriously. How about a solution to life’s challenges that can make you less anxious, more creative and so much happier?
No, it’s not beer – it’s meditation!
15 years ago, I was struggling. On the outside, everything looked fantastic. I had my own TV show, a hit radio show and my stand-up comedy career was taking off. On the inside, it was very different! I was anxious, stressed, not sleeping properly and lacking in self esteem and self belief. The only coping mechanism I had been taught to handle stress was alcohol so I was tucking into the pints to find comfort but that wasn’t really working. One panic attack and a drunken fall later, I knew something had to change.I had heard about meditation and decided to give it a shot. I soon realised it wasn’t the hippy, woo-woo, far out practice of crusty types who keep talking about humus. It was grounded in science and I didn’t have to shave my head or move to a draughty cave. It worked and was for everyone! I never looked back.
