Anxiety Coping Plan Worksheet

A personalised coping plan makes it easier to respond effectively when anxiety begins to increase. Instead of deciding what to do in the moment, this worksheet helps you recognise early warning signs, identify situations where anxiety is most difficult and develop practical coping strategies that support long term anxiety management.

This evidence-based CBT worksheet guides you through creating a personalised anxiety coping plan by identifying challenging situations, recognising early signs that coping strategies are needed, selecting helpful coping strategies and identifying behaviours that may provide short term relief but maintain anxiety over time. A reflection section also encourages regular review and adjustment of your coping plan as your needs change.

Whether you are working independently, alongside a therapist or supporting clients in therapy, this worksheet provides a practical and structured way to prepare for anxiety and build healthier coping strategies.
