Motivational Therapy Counselling
(In-Person and Online Counselling for Adults, Seniors, and Late Teens)
When Motivation Feels Out of Reach
There are moments when you know what you should do — but can’t seem to get yourself to do it.
You might feel stuck, unmotivated, or caught between wanting change and resisting it at the same time.
Motivational Therapy helps bridge that gap — guiding you from indecision to action with compassion, clarity, and confidence.
It’s not about forcing willpower; it’s about understanding why you feel stuck, and reconnecting with the values that truly inspire you to move forward.
What is Motivational Therapy?
Motivational Therapy — often called Motivational Interviewing (MI) — is a collaborative, person-centered counselling approach that helps you explore your own reasons for change.
It’s designed for people who feel ambivalent — part of you wants to change, while another part hesitates or fears it.
Through guided conversation and reflection, Motivational Therapy helps you:
Clarify what really matters to you
Identify internal conflicts around change
Strengthen your confidence in your ability to change
Turn hesitation into action through small, sustainable steps
This approach isn’t about pressure or persuasion — it’s about empowerment. You already have motivation within you; counselling helps you uncover and activate it.
The Philosophy Behind Motivational Therapy
Motivational Therapy is grounded in respect and autonomy.
It recognizes that lasting change only happens when it comes from you, not from external pressure.
Instead of being told what to do, you’ll be guided to:
Explore your own reasons for wanting change
Examine what’s holding you back
Discover the deeper “why” behind your goals
Build a realistic plan that feels aligned and achievable
As motivation becomes internalized, you begin to act from choice, not obligation — and that’s where lasting transformation begins.
What Motivational Therapy Can Help With
Motivational Therapy is highly effective for individuals seeking direction, personal growth, or freedom from habits that keep them stuck.
It can help with:
Lack of motivation or follow-through
Ambivalence about change
Career indecision or burnout
Health or lifestyle habits (e.g., exercise, alcohol, nutrition)
Procrastination and avoidance
Low self-confidence or fear of failure
Addiction recovery or relapse prevention
Reconnecting with life purpose or values
If you’re feeling lost, unmotivated, or unsure what’s next, this approach helps you rediscover your drive and direction — on your own terms.
How Motivational Therapy Works
Sessions focus on collaboration, curiosity, and reflection.
Rather than diagnosing or lecturing, we explore your goals and barriers together in an open, judgment-free way.
In counselling, we will:
Explore what matters most to you and what you want to change
Identify your reasons for and against change
Strengthen confidence in your ability to take action
Set small, achievable steps toward your goals
Celebrate progress and adjust as needed
You’ll begin to experience change not as a burden, but as a process of aligning with who you want to become.
Why Motivational Therapy Works
Many people believe motivation comes after action — but in reality, it often emerges because of it.
Motivational Therapy helps you start where you are and builds momentum through small wins that naturally create more motivation.
This process:
Reduces self-criticism and resistance
Increases confidence and self-belief
Builds momentum through achievable steps
Reconnects you to your sense of purpose and meaning
Over time, you begin to replace avoidance and procrastination with clarity, focus, and self-trust.
A Practical and Encouraging Approach
At Pierre Begrand Counselling, my approach blends Motivational Interviewing with goal-setting tools, emotional awareness, and accountability.
You’ll gain both insight and structure — the “why” and the “how.”
Sessions may include:
Reflective questioning to explore your motivation
Values-clarification exercises
Goal-setting frameworks and action planning
Visualization and mindfulness to overcome inner resistance
Journaling or progress tracking between sessions
The goal isn’t to push you harder — it’s to help you move forward with purpose and alignment.
Who Motivational Therapy Is For
You may benefit from Motivational Therapy if you:
Feel stuck, uninspired, or disconnected from your goals
Struggle with self-discipline or consistency
Know what you want but don’t know how to start
Want to rebuild confidence or momentum
Are navigating a transition and seeking clarity
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. Motivation often returns when you take the first small, supported step.
Why Work With Me
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in trades and grew up on a farm — two experiences that taught me about discipline, resilience, and steady progress.
Now, as a Registered Professional Counsellor, I combine that grounded mindset with evidence-based therapeutic tools to help clients build motivation that lasts.
My approach blends empathy, structure, and accountability — helping you transform hesitation into meaningful action, at a pace that feels sustainable and real.
