About this event

  • Event lasts 7 hours

There is growing interest in using Motivational Interviewing (MI) across all areas of EP practice. In this one-day online introduction and refresher course, Cathy Atkinson and Fi Coley, members of the international Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) will offer a lively, informative and interactive opportunity to explore how to use MI in daily practice.


The day will include:

  • An outline of the theoretical and research background to MI
  • Consideration of the spirit, tasks and skills involved in MI
  • Experiential work, to develop skills and confidence
  • Guidance on the application of MI to EP practice


The aim of the day will be to allow participants to immediately feel more confident in using MI within different aspects of their EP work.


This event is open to Educational Psychologists, Trainee Educational Psychologists, and Assistant Psychologists. We are unable to accommodate aspiring EPs at this event.


We are building an MI learning community for EPs. After attending this one-day course, you will be eligible to join us at MI Skills Club, which is a 90-minute half-termly online community group, with micro-skills practice in small groups: MI Skills Club for Educational Psychologists (MISC) Tickets, Multiple Dates | Eventbrite

Hey, I'm Fi (aka The Ed Psych Coach)

I'm a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and Senior Educational Psychologist (EP). I'm also a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers.

It is my mission to create positive, inspiring spaces for EPs to grow, connect and flourish, so that we can really make a difference.

Through my work with EPs across coaching groups, workshops and CPD events, as well as my 1:1 coaching services and resources, I am supporting EPs to flourish. I draw upon coaching psychology, motivational interviewing, solution-focused psychology, positive psychology and cognitive behavioural coaching.

I also work as a Senior EP in a South London Local Authority, and I'm an Academic and Professional Tutor on the Educational Psychology Doctoral training course at The Institute of Education in London.

I look forward to connecting with you soon.
