The program

Cognitive Behavioural Counselling (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) have established themselves as best-practice models for working with a wide range of client issues. Theory, demonstration and hands-on practice will give participants practical and proven strategies that increase the probability for success. The workshop is geared to meet the needs of those who have little or no training with CBT and MI as well as those that wish to review or deepen their skill base.

Some of the topics that will be covered in this workshop:
  •  Fundamental theory and assumptions of CBT and MI
  • Stages of change model as a tool for differential use of skills
  • Utilizing MI to reduce resistance and power struggles

  • Behavioural change strategies
  • Utilizing cognitive behavioural techniques in everyday practice
