Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred approach that recognises the intrinsic motivation within individuals and aims to enhance their readiness for change.

By fostering a non-judgmental and empathetic environment, motivational interviewing enables professionals to skillfully navigate conversations with clients, leading to increased self-awareness, commitment, and self-efficacy.

In this course, you will delve into the core principles and techniques of motivational interviewing, exploring how they can be effectively applied in a variety of settings where behaviour change is the primary goal. You will learn how these techniques can help to build rapport and engage resistant clients.
