Preparing your worksheet…

Fill in one or both perspectives, and skip anything you do not want to share. If joint discussion feels unsafe, consider individual support.

About the couples therapy worksheet

A couples therapy worksheet can help organize a conversation before an appointment. It does not require both people to participate or disclose anything they are not ready to share.

This is an original educational preparation tool, not a clinical worksheet, diagnosis or substitute for counseling. A therapist can help decide what is appropriate for your situation.

How it works

1

Choose a topic

Select an area or enter your own topic; leave anything that does not fit blank.

2

Write your perspectives

Use one or both sections to record what matters to each person.

3

Bring your questions

Add goals or questions for a counselor and print the worksheet if it is safe and useful.

Ways couples use this tool

Before a first appointment

Organize what you want a counselor to understand.

Between sessions

Note a question or change to revisit with professional support.

Things to keep in mind

  • Write in your own words and skip anything you do not want to share.
  • Ask a counselor about separate support if a joint session feels unsafe.
  • Keep printed or copied notes somewhere appropriate for your circumstances.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the worksheet without my partner?

Yes. One person can prepare notes and questions without completing both sections.

Does this replace couples therapy?

No. It helps organize thoughts; it is not a clinical assessment or treatment.

What should we bring to the first session?

You might bring a topic, your own perspective and questions for the counselor. Share only what feels appropriate and safe.
