About this session

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centred, goal-oriented therapeutic approach designed to enhance motivation and commitment to change. It focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence, empowering individuals to take positive steps toward achieving their goals. MI is particularly effective in addressing behaviours such as substance use, health management, or lifestyle changes, where motivation is a key factor for success.

What to Expect

MI sessions are collaborative and conversational. The therapist actively listens, asks open-ended questions, and provides empathetic feedback to help clients identify their own reasons for change. This non-confrontational approach allows clients to feel supported while they assess their readiness for change, explore potential barriers, and develop actionable plans. The pace is guided by the client’s comfort and readiness, making the process both respectful and empowering.

Outcomes

Motivational Interviewing helps clients clarify their goals, build confidence in their ability to change, and take meaningful steps toward achieving their aspirations. It often leads to improved self-awareness, greater personal accountability, and sustained behavioural change. Whether used as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other approaches, MI helps individuals unlock their potential and overcome challenges with renewed motivation and purpose.
