The CTS-R Self-Assessment is a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) supervision and reflective-practice resource, designed to support therapists and trainees in developing their clinical skills rather than as a client-facing worksheet.
You can preview it in full above, then use it within your own practice, supervision or training — completing it on any device or printing it as a PDF.
Most people work through it in around 20 minutes. It moves through three short steps:
Every resource in the library shares the same clean, consistent layout, works on any phone, tablet or computer, and can be completed on screen or exported as a print-ready PDF.
In common with other CBT methods, the CTS-R Self-Assessment works by noticing the links between situations, thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviour — and finding practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. The aim is not positive thinking but a clearer, shared understanding of what keeps a difficulty going — and practical, testable ways to change it.
Like the rest of the Formulate library it follows an evidence-based CBT structure, applied here to building and reflecting on clinical skill rather than to a specific presenting problem.
This worksheet is grounded in established cognitive behavioural therapy theory and practice. Key sources include:
Formulate provides educational CBT resources for use with a qualified therapist. They are not a substitute for professional assessment, diagnosis, or crisis care.
