Navigating behaviour change with confidence

What if the key to lasting behaviour change isn’t just what you teach your clients — but how you connect and communicate with them? In this episode of The Dietitian Connection Podcast, we sit down with Stephanie Notaras, a dietitian and expert in counselling and communication, to explore how clear and confident communication can help overcome barriers to change.

In the episode, we discuss:

• Why communication is just as crucial as nutrition knowledge
• The difference between coaching and counselling in dietetic practice
• How to use the Stages of Change Model to guide client progress
• Strategies to compassionately challenge clients and move them toward action
• How strong counselling skills improve client retention and outcomes
