01 / 05 Measuring progress

Measuring progress, every session.

Therapy works best when we can both see whether it's helping. I use measurement-based care: short, standard questionnaires and a quick review every session, so our work stays focused on what matters to you.

02 / 05 Start to finish

How progress is tracked

  1. (1)

    A clear starting point

    In the first sessions: short questionnaires about how you're feeling and coping, and the goals that matter most to you.

  2. (2)

    Check in and review

    Every session: a few minutes to rate how the week has been, look at your scores and goals together, and say how our sessions are working for you.

  3. (3)

    Change course

    If things aren't shifting, we talk about why and change the plan, rather than carrying on regardless.

  4. (4)

    Look back, plan ahead

    Before we finish: compare where you are with where you started, and plan how to keep things going.

03 / 05 What I measure

Four things, kept simple

  1. i.

    How you're feeling

    Brief, standardised questionnaires for stress, anxiety and low mood, such as the K10, DASS-21, PHQ-9 or GAD-7.

  2. ii.

    How life is going

    Sleep, work, relationships and the everyday things that matter to you, including return-to-work goals where relevant.

  3. iii.

    Your goals

    The specific goals we set together, rated every session so we can see movement, including small steps.

  4. iv.

    How therapy feels

    Quick feedback on our sessions, so you can tell me what's helping and what isn't. Your view shapes what we do next.

04 / 05 What a review looks like

Your progress, on one page

Each session we look at a simple chart of your scores and goals over time. It turns "I think I'm a bit better" into something we can both see, and it shows early when something needs to change.

05 / 05 What happens with the results

Used with you, not filed away.

  1. We read them together

    Scores are a conversation starter, not a verdict. You always see your own results.

  2. We change course when needed

    If progress stalls, we adjust the approach, the goals or the pace.

  3. Your care team stays informed

    With your consent, your GP and case manager receive progress reports. Your information is confidential and stored securely.
