Motivational Interviewing is a way of working with people which supports them to find their own motivation and ways to change. It is a respectful way of supporting people that honours their autonomy, whilst gently supporting them to move towards lasting change. Evidence shows that it is much more effective in promoting meaningful and lasting change than the more traditional 'expert' models, telling somebody what they need to do. Research shows that it is very flexible and can greatly enhance the delivery of other models of change, blending with areas such as cognitive behaviour therapy, coaching, behaviour support or addicition counselling.

It is used in a broad variety of settings such as schools; the workplace; families & healthcare settings, & can greatly enhance your day to day interactions with others. It is particularly useful when you are working with people who may not immediately see the need to change, or find themselves 'stuck'.

Soiléír's Motivational Interviewing Courses will help you develop your skills by:

• Identifying the different stages of change
