Psychology resources by therapy approach

The library starts with the two most widely used skills-based therapies. Each worksheet follows the structure of the original technique, so it slots into the way you already work.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

CBT works on the links between what we think, feel and do. These worksheets help a client slow a difficult moment down, notice the thought driving it, and test that thought against the evidence before settling on a more balanced view.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)

DBT teaches practical skills for intense emotions and difficult relationships. These worksheets turn individual skills into step-by-step plans a client can practise between sessions and reach for when it counts.

Resources for what your client is working on

Start from the problem rather than the model. Each group below points to the worksheets that fit it best.

Unhelpful thinking

Catch automatic thoughts, name the thinking trap, and weigh the evidence.

Self-esteem and core beliefs

Understand where a long-held belief came from and build a fairer one.

Emotions and distress

Track emotions over the day and bring overwhelming distress down quickly.

Relationships and assertiveness

Plan a difficult conversation, make a clear request, or say no.

Worksheet builder

Customise any worksheet, or build your own

A ready-made worksheet rarely fits every client. Open any worksheet in the builder to reword the prompts, add or remove sections, and change the look before you print it. Or start from a blank page and build a resource for a specific client, group or programme.

The builder shows the worksheet at true paper size with page breaks marked, so what you see is what prints. You can build and download without an account. A free account saves your worksheets to a library you can come back to.

Open the worksheet builder
  • Six section types. Text boxes, checklists, tables, rating scales, questionnaires and diagrams.
  • Eight colour themes. Quiet print-friendly styles, and bolder ones for handouts and groups.
  • A4 or US Letter. Page count and breaks update as you switch.
  • Print-ready PDF. Download a clean PDF that matches the preview.

In practice

How clinicians use these resources

Worksheets do different jobs at different points in therapy. The same page can support all of these.

In session

Work through a recent situation together, so the model is concrete and the client sees how it applies to them.

Between sessions

Send a worksheet home as practice, then use what the client brings back to shape the next session.

Psychoeducation

Use the guides to explain a concept in plain language, with examples a client can recognise from their own life.

Groups and programmes

Adapt a worksheet in the builder so every handout in a skills group or course shares one consistent style.

Our approach

How our worksheets are made

Grounded in the research

Each worksheet follows an established technique from CBT or DBT, and its guide explains the idea behind it, what the evidence does and does not show, and when it may not be the right fit.

Every guide lists its research references and the date it was last updated, so you can check the sources yourself.

Written to be used

The worksheets are written in plain language, with worked examples and prompts that make sense to someone filling them in alone at home.

They are laid out to print cleanly on an ordinary printer, with light answer boxes and room to write.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are the psychology resources really free?

Yes. Every worksheet can be downloaded as a PDF for free, and you do not need an account to download one or to use the builder. A free account is only needed if you want to save worksheets to your library.

Can I use the worksheets with my clients?

Yes. They are made for psychologists, therapists, counsellors and other mental health professionals to use in their work. As with any resource, review a worksheet before you use it and decide whether it suits the person and the context.

Can I edit a worksheet before I print it?

Yes. Every worksheet page has an option to open it in the builder, where you can change the wording, add or remove sections, switch themes and paper sizes, then download your version as a PDF.

Are the worksheets evidence-based?

Each one is built on an established CBT or DBT technique, and its guide cites the research behind it. The guides also say where the evidence is limited. A worksheet is a tool within therapy, not a treatment on its own.

Can people use these worksheets for self-help?

Many people find the worksheets and guides useful on their own, but they are written with professional support in mind and are not a substitute for assessment or treatment. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency or crisis service.

What happens to what I type into the builder?

You can build and download as a guest without cloud storage. If you save a worksheet, it is stored in your private account library. Remove anything that could identify a client before you save or export. See the privacy policy for details.
