Do you work with clients who sometimes get 'stuck'? Join us to learn micro skills for meeting clients at their stage of change. Learn how to harness your clients’ intrinsic motivation to change their thinking and behaviour. Motivational interviewing is a counselling technique that focuses on bolstering a client's motivation for change through 4 key principles: Resist the urge to correct. Grasp the client's intrinsic motivations. Approach with empathy. Empower the client. It’s particularly useful for situations where clients have mixed feelings about changing their behaviour. Originally developed to treat alcohol addiction, motivational interviewing is unique in empowering people to take responsibility for their own recovery.
