ABC Analysis Worksheet

The ABC Analysis is a foundational Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) tool that helps identify the relationship between situations, beliefs and emotional, physical and behavioural responses. By breaking experiences into manageable parts, it becomes easier to understand what contributes to distress and identify opportunities for change.

Using evidence-based CBT principles, this worksheet guides you through the ABC Model by exploring the activating event, the beliefs or interpretations that followed and the emotional, physical and behavioural consequences. It provides a structured framework for recognising patterns and increasing self awareness.

Whether you are completing CBT independently, working alongside a therapist or using it within clinical practice, this worksheet provides a practical way to understand emotional reactions and identify unhelpful thinking patterns.
