A Primer on Motivational Interviewing

A 7- day mini course that teaches you how to support your clients make lifestyle behaviour changes

Are you ready to make a change to your counseling style to achieve better health outcomes for your clients?

 

This 7-day mini course will give you a good overview of Motivational Interviewing that will work as your first steps towards a counseling style that has been scientifically proven to be effective.

And, I am saying this with my own personal experience. My practice has radically changed since I started incorporating motivational interviewing strategies when counseling my clients. 

A few years ago it was ME who was doing all the work for my clients. I was setting their agenda, setting their priorities & even designing their action plans. And what was the end result: NOTHING CHANGED or THERE WAS MINIMAL CHANGE. I was exhausted, frustrated & felt helpless since I knew the value in making lifestyle changes for my clients. 

And then Motivational Interviewing happened to me! It changed everything. Now as I incorporate motivational interviewing strategies, principles & techniques into my counseling practice there are so many aha moments that I witness & experience. It is an amazing feeling! 

This mini course offers you a clear understanding of how the behaviour change process occurs & how you can apply Motivational Interviewing strategies to move your clients from a resistant mindset to an action mind set.

The “Primer on Motivational Interviewing” mini course provides you with an introduction to the principles of behaviour change and how you can apply the motivational interviewing techniques & strategies to bring about behaviour change in a collaborative manner.
