Counsellor and Therapist Notebook As Counsellors and Therapists, one of the most crucial habits required for success is keeping clear, organised and meaningful notes about each patient. Notes are essential in ensuring progress is tracked, and strategies may are developed that suit each individual client. This book was designed to collect and store notes in a coherent, easily accessible system. It was designed specifically for counsellors and therapists, and includes all important aspects required for patient or client note-taking. What Does this book Contain 50 double page spreads for client sessions (One page for session notes and one page for post-session notes) Fillable contents page for record of individual sessions with each client Blank notes pages at the end of the book for general note-keeping not specific to clients Quick client list at the front for easy record when using multiple books Owner information page Using This book This book uses one double page spread PER SESSION. The left hand page has inputs for client name, ID, Session Number and an indication of the page number from the previous session from this client. The left hand page is used to take notes DURING the session, and is a simple lined notes which can be divided how best suits your note taking style. The right page is for POST-SESSION NOTES and EVALUATION. It contains inputs to discuss progress from last session, changes in moods or attitudes, current functioning, risk assessment, and interventions discussed during the session. There is also space for your own personal notetaking, which may include things such as themes, research for next session, theories, ideas and thoughts. Finally there is a small section for a quick recap for next session, such as the theme of the session, or important topics to discuss and review. There is a contents page in the beginning of the book, for you to easily track sessions between clients. Finally, there are notes pages at the end of the book. This is for notes that are not specific to specific clients, but for your own personal use and record keeping. Tips for using this book: Attempt to keep your clients notes in order. For example, if you book in a client for 6 sessions - leave 6 double page spreads in a row so you can easily flip between notes for the same client. Use the contents page as you go. This will help you to keep notes in order and pick up where you left off For long-term clients: Many people choose to dedicate an entire book to a single client. This will make note keeping a much smoother process, rather than having to search between multiple books. Develop your own system: Everyone should take notes in the way that makes sense to them. Many people just continue on how their supervisors taught them - but this may not be the best way for you. It is important however, (once you have established your system) to REMAIN CONSISTENT. This is one of the easiest ways to ensure your notes are organised. Book Features 8.5 x 11 inch 124 Pages Space for 50 sessions Printed on white paper Perfect bound book
