This two-day online training course introduces students to Motivational Interviewing (MI) whilst also addressing additional evidence based motivational issues and strategies.
You’ll be taken through a range of techniques, strategies and tips designed to improve your motivational skills whatever your client group – from treatment non-compliance (with the particular emphasis on the issue of motivating antagonistic clients and low mood/inactive clients) through dealing with offending behaviour to working with those with severe mental health problems.
The course is essential for practitioners working with a wide range of client groups – from adolescents to older people; from offenders to those with mental health problems.
Approved by the British Psychological Society for the purposes of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Can be taken as an individual two-day course or as a part of a Certificate in Resource Based Therapies.

“I did come not thinking that I would take much from the course considering my role in condition management & techniques already used. I WAS WRONG. I am looking forward to returning to work to practice techniques, ideas and skills I have learnt. Thank you.”
“Excellent in all aspects – practical ideas – will be implemented.”
Clients often find change very difficult whether it is due to being stuck in repetitive cycles, low self-worth or simply fear of the unknown.
This book is a collection of IDEAS, TIPS and TECHNIQUES based on decades of practice experience plus the thoughts of the very best counsellors and psychotherapists. In some ways - it is not just a book in the traditional sense. It is a PRACTICAL LEARNING PROGRAMME that will enable you to use your new skills with your clients straightaway. Take this book with you to work and do some exercises straight after seeing a particularly unmotivated client, it will help you to find a way forward with them. Write in the book, answer questions, ask your own, use it as a practical tool and it will help you to be more effective in your everyday work. Furthermore, if you find any of the steps particularly useful or, perhaps, confusing - write to us at info@sds-seminars.com and share your views. If you can come up with additional steps for this programme, feel free to share them with us and we will be happy to mention you in future publications.
Praise for this learning programme: "I really enjoyed doing the programme on Client Motivation and I have referred to the information on a regular basis. I have particularly found the use of scaling to increase client motivation (wherein the client rates their ability or confidence to handle the issue as opposed to the issue itself) particularly effective when working with anxiety related issues. The size of the study and the way it was staggered meant it was both achievable and consolidating. Thank you!" Tracy Nolan, Counsellor
