These counselling skills are developed through a scaffolded learning approach in which the content of seminars follows the four processes of motivational interviewing: engaging, focusing, evoking and planning. In doing so students learn how to apply counselling skills that are underpinned by the philosophy of motivational interviewing to reduce harm from alcohol and other drugs. Students are required to engage in ongoing reflective practice to increase personal insight into the role of their own interpersonal processes when working with clients. Students learn how to use models of psychopathology to develop case formulations.
