Therapy Session Worksheet: A Free Template to Prepare for Your Next Session
This free therapy session worksheet gives you seven questions to answer before an appointment: what happened this week, how you have felt, what you tried from last time, what you have been avoiding, what to focus on, what to ask, and what would make the session worthwhile. Fill in what you can, then copy or download your notes to bring with you. It is not therapy and does not replace your therapist's guidance.
- ›What you get: a short prep note you can read from in session
- ›How long it takes: about ten minutes
- ›What to do next: bring it, and tell your therapist how you would like to use it
Your notes stay in this browser tab and are cleared when you close it. Nothing is sent to Symplia.
Prepare with Session Prep in Symplia →Why this matters
Sessions are short, and it is easy to forget what you meant to say. A few written notes can help you start where it matters and remember details from the week. Many therapists are used to clients bringing notes.
Your answers stay in this browser tab and are cleared when you close it. If you want to keep notes over time, copy or download them. For more detail on preparing, see our guide to preparing for a therapy session.
How to use your results
Answer in short phrases or bullet points. It does not need to be neat, and you can skip a question.
Copy your notes into a notes app or download them as a text file, then read from them at the start of your session.
