Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, evidence-based approach that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about behavioural change. It is often used in cases of addiction, lifestyle changes, or habit modification, supporting clients to discover their personal motivations, build self-confidence, and take meaningful steps toward positive change.

\nRather than imposing direction or solutions, the therapist facilitates a gentle, non-judgmental dialogue that encourages self-reflection and personal awareness. Through this process, clients gain clarity about their goals, strengthen their commitment to change, and develop practical strategies for overcoming obstacles. MI empowers individuals to recognise their resources and strengths, promoting lasting transformation and a sense of personal responsibility on the journey toward healthier behaviours and improved mental well-being.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
