Behaviour Activation & Motivational Interviewing
Do low energy and wavering motivation keep you from the activities that once brought joy? Behaviour Activation and Motivational Interviewing welcomes you into an encouraging and empowering space where you can rekindle momentum and regain hope.
​
What is Behaviour Activation and Motivational Interviewing?
Behaviour Activation and Motivational Interviewing blend two evidence-based counselling methods. Behaviour Activation helps you schedule rewarding, values-driven activities that lift mood and reinforce positive habits, while Motivational Interviewing is a client-centred conversation style that sparks your own reasons for change without pressure or judgment. Guided by a registered social worker, this therapy equips you with practical action plans and supportive self-talk to overcome inertia, depression, or anxiety. Whether you meet us in person in Sudbury or virtually anywhere in Ontario, you receive structured, compassionate mental-health support tailored to your goals.
​
How Can Behaviour Activation and Motivational Interviewing Help You?
– Boosted Mood: Enjoy quick wins as purposeful activities increase pleasure and reduce depressive symptoms.
– Internal Motivation: Clarify personal values so change feels self-chosen, not forced.
– Reduced Anxiety: Gradual exposure to avoided tasks builds confidence and calms worries.
– Healthy Habits: Replace unhelpful routines with balanced sleep, exercise, and social connection.
– Sustained Well-Being: Learn relapse-prevention skills that keep progress steady long after counselling ends.
