Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a non-judgemental, empathic approach to communication that facilitates change. It holds the client at the heart of the communication process and is used across a wide range of settings. Most of the areas that we work with require a level of awareness, recognition, and motivation for growth and development. MI offers a flexible approach to empower the processes of human change and growth.

Training we offer

Introduction

Introductory courses can range from half a day to three days depending on your needs. Our training involves a mix of coaching, demonstrations and skills practice. We also offer the opportunity for learners to opt to complete a recording of their motivational interviewing practice to receive personalised coding, feedback, and coaching to aid further skill development.

Advancing skills

Our advancing skills courses builds upon introductory content to further advance skills. This is offered as a one or two day course. Again, we offer the opportunity for learners to submit a recording of their motivational interviewing practice to then receive personalised coding, feedback, and coaching to aid further skill development.

Coaching and mentoring

troubleshooting and supervision in response to learners’ needs and skill development stage. These can be delivered in 1-1 and group settings via half day or full day sessions.
