CBT Problem List Worksheet

Identifying the most important problems to work on is an essential part of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Organising difficulties into clear priorities helps create meaningful therapy goals, maintain focus and guide treatment planning.

This evidence-based CBT worksheet supports collaborative problem identification and goal setting by helping you organise current difficulties, identify priorities, clarify desired changes, develop realistic goals, identify potential barriers and recognise existing strengths. A reflection section encourages ongoing review and helps maintain focus throughout therapy.
