What our learners say...
Excellent training, delivery was perfect. Very informative, inclusive and engaging.
The course and the delivery was fantastic!
Thank you, Alan, for delivering such an insightful and engaging Motivational Interviewing training. I found the balance of theory, practical techniques, and real-life examples incredibly helpful in deepening my understanding of how to have more purposeful, client-led conversations.The emphasis on empathy, collaboration, and evoking change talk really resonated with me, especially in the context of working with people experiencing homelessness. I now feel more confident in applying MI techniques like open-ended questions, affirmations, and reflective listening in a way that supports autonomy and builds trust.Your delivery style made the content accessible and relevant, and I appreciated the space to practise in a supportive environment. I’m looking forward to applying these skills in my day-to-day work and continuing to build on what I’ve learned. Many thanks.
