Motivational Interviewing & Behavioural Change Psychology. Expert training dedicated to your workplace and clients. From the UK’s leading mental health and psychological support training experts.
The skills and principles within Motivational Interviewing (MI) are essential to individuals and organisations who interact with, and support individuals vulnerable to self-defeating life choices. MI is a person-centred, yet directive counselling style that motivates healthier behaviours and life choices that are in the person’s best interests.
Even simple advice can negatively backfire. This is counterproductive to healthy change.
Understanding how language and skill-based strategies can influence and improve health outcomes is important. Then applying techniques that motivate and underpin healthy change becomes quite simple – and easy to learn with the right guidance and facilitation.

Persuasive Conversations & Motivating Change Training – Where Healthy Change Provides Mutual Benefits
This workshop teaches communication skills and strategies that will improve an individual’s adherence to your advice or request – particularly where these requests have mutually beneficial outcomes.
In essence, this soft-skills training effectively blends listening, empathy and validation practice with guidance, and an influence that’s better trusted, more effective, and is more likely to be adopted. It’s a conversational style that moves people towards an action that is good for everyone.
This training employs many of the skills and techniques within Motivational Interviewing practice. Motivational Interviewing is a person-centred counselling style. It supports people to reduce self-defeating behaviours in their best interests. This training is different, it will help your team influence behaviours that are in everyone’s best interests. Where the benefits of the outcomes to the request are shared.
It’s a training solution for organisations that have contact support roles with individuals vulnerable to impulsivity, life-stress, negative life choices and self-defeating behaviours. Importantly, these behaviours are impacting a number of people, including your organisation and its staff. In this instance, there’s a common ground – change benefits everyone.
In simple terms – people are not doing what you would like them to do and your desire to motivate them to adopt your ideas has an ethical basis.
