About this event

Motivational Interviewing Ideas and Approaches in Clinical Supervision Workshop with Beth Stranks and Bronwen Williams

The issue of change (or not changing) is generally central to therapeutic work and is thus regularly discussed in clinical supervision. Clinical supervision also often requires changes in both supervisee, and supervisor.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a well-known, evidence-based intervention to support people to make changes. Therefore, the ideas and approaches from MI can help all involved in the supervision experience, whether that be in one-to-one, peer or group supervision.

This workshop will give a brief introduction to MI, an evidence based method of having conversations with people around behaviour change. Some MI ideas and structures will be explored and the session will give participants the opportunity to try some out some of these to see how they may fit with their own clinical supervision practice.

The workshop will provide information, ideas and opportunities to experiment and experience in pairs / small groups in break out rooms.

Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event

  • To consider some ideas and approaches from motivational interviewing that could aid clinical supervision.
  • To explore the fixing reflex and how that shows up in supervision for both supervisee and supervisor.
  • To consider how and when change as an issue shows up in clinical supervision.

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

  • Anyone who is interested in how issues of change appear and are dealt with within clinical supervision and who would like to explore some ideas that may enhance the supervision relationship.

How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?

  • Having, or enhancing, knowledge of motivational interviewing within clinical supervision.
  • Enhancing supervisees to be accountable for their practice, reflection and development.
  • Support those discussions where supervisees may be stuck or considering change in their own practice.
