CPD Event title: Integrating Motivational Interviewing within Hypnotherapy
Brief Description Of Event:
Date and time: Friday, November 7 · 10am – 2pm GMT – live on Zoom
Boost motivation and change in clients. Learn to integrate Motivational Interviewing into hypnotherapy in this accredited CPD.
Some hypnotherapy clients will be highly motivated to engage in their own healthy changes, whilst others are far less engaged. Especially those who find themselves sent to therapy or coerced someway.
Modern hypnotherapy, be it integrative or solution focused, is often considered a collaborative therapy and, as such, fits well with the motivational interviewing concept of a ‘co-operative partnership’ between the therapist and client. Motivational interviewing helps a client move forward from a place of uncertainty, or being stuck, towards connecting with the motivation to make positive change. This is because motivational interviewing engages the client’s own motivation for change as well as integrating therapeutic gains.
This short CPD will introduce participants into the core concepts of Motivational Interviewing and how they can successfully integrate these concepts into their therapeutic work with clients.

Why This Workshop?
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a powerful, client-centred approach that enhances a client’s own internal desire to change. When integrated into hypnotherapy, MI allows the therapist to help clients move from resistance or hesitation to commitment and transformation. It is especially effective for those who are unsure, ambivalent, or who appear disengaged from the therapeutic process.
This accredited four-hour workshop offers a practical, focused introduction to MI and how it can strengthen your hypnotherapy work, particularly in areas such as addiction, lifestyle change, health behaviours, anxiety, and more.
