Motivational Interviewing

 

At Rosacle Consultancy Limited we aim to use motivational interviewing at all times.

Motivational interviewing is a counselling method that helps people with their ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find internal motivation. Motivational interviewing is a therapeutic technique used to help individuals make changes in the lives which can be applied effectively to treating people with addiction problems.

 

Motivational interviewing is based on the following principles;

​

• Ambivalence is about change. Support self-efficacy and optimism.

• Ambivalence can be resolved by working with an individuals intrinsic motivations and values avoiding discrepancy between client’s goals or values and their current behaviour.

• Alliance between the counsellor and client is a collaborative partnership to which the counsellor brings important expertise. Avoid argument and direct confrontation.

• An empathic, supportive, yet directive, counselling style provides conditions under which change can occur.

• Adjust to client resistance rather than opposing it directly.
