Motivational Interviewing
2027-01-27 09:30 - 13:30 | Watford, Watford Wellbeing Centre, 501 St Albans Road, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD24 7RZ, United Kingdom
What will it cover?
Motivational Interviewing is more than just a technique – it’s a powerful, person-centred approach to communication that helps people explore their own motivations for change. Grounded in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration, MI is especially effective in roles where behaviour change, support, or guidance is part of your everyday work.
This interactive training will explore how MI can be practically applied in your role, equipping you with tools to support others in navigating ambivalence and moving towards meaningful change.
Together, we’ll look at:

The core principles and spirit of MI, including compassion, acceptance, partnership, and evocation
The MI framework, known as the Four Processes: Engaging, Focusing, Evoking and Planning
How to identify and respond to Change Talk and Sustain Talk to help build momentum towards positive action
Practical communication tools such as OARS (Open Questions, Affirmations, Reflections, and Summaries) to enhance conversations
How to give advice in an MI-consistent way using the Elicit-Provide-Elicit method – avoiding the “righting reflex”
Real-life scenarios and exercises to help embed MI in your daily practice

Whether you’re supporting clients, mentoring staff, or working with people through change, MI offers a respectful and empowering framework for building motivation and working together towards solutions.
