Motivational Interviewing Workshop September 2009
"I really enjoyed the 2 days, the content, delivery and the style were excellent... the interaction between our Group and the experiential dimension of the Course made it all the better. A most enjoyable and valuable 'Learning Curve'."

Developed by Miller and Rollnick. Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered approach that elicits behavioral changes by assisting individuals to explore and resolve ambivalence. This approach is especially helpful with individuals who are less motivated. Research has shown Motivational Interviewing to be helpful with a wide range of client groups and issues.
