Therapy Worksheets For Adults

As we mentioned, the best time to use this therapy worksheet for adults is during the early stages of a client’s treatment. This will allow you to use their answers in the development of a treatment plan, ensuring they are heading in the right direction from the very beginning. In saying that, you may find that introducing the therapy worksheet is more effective toward the latter stages of treatment, as clients may be closer to actualizing achievement and have a clearer understanding of their goals in mind.

The method used to write responses to this worksheet is mostly up to your clients. There are five main sections for different areas of a client’s life, and they may only have goals for a couple of these. If any of the sections aren’t applicable to the client’s desired outcomes, that’s definitely fine. Encourage your clients to complete whatever sections feel applicable to them, and don’t worry about the rest. When the worksheet has been completed, you should go through the responses alongside your client, and discuss possible next steps.

We recommend encouraging clients to complete the worksheet independently, so as to ensure the responses are as authentic as possible. However, you may have clients that struggle with goal-setting or would prefer to be assisted throughout this process, and this is also perfectly fine.
