Clients working on low self-esteem, especially adults and older teenagers using CBT self-help or therapy materials, may find this module useful for keeping progress going after earlier self-esteem work. It brings together healthy self-esteem strategies, balanced thinking, positive qualities, helpful behaviour, core belief work and relapse prevention ideas in a practical format.
Healthy Self-Esteem CBT Worksheets and Maintenance Plan is designed to help people keep using self-esteem skills after earlier CBT work, whether in therapy, guided self-help, or independent reflection. It presents healthy self-esteem as a balanced view of personal worth, then prompts users to notice situations where old patterns may return, challenge negative core beliefs, and practise more realistic expectations.
The printable worksheet includes space to record balanced self-evaluations, helpful behaviours, positive qualities, achievements, balanced rules and assumptions, and positive experiences to look out for. It can be used as a session handout, between-session homework, a revision sheet after completing a self-esteem programme, or a relapse prevention planning tool for future difficult periods.
Practitioners may find it useful when closing a block of work, reviewing progress, or helping clients turn learning into a practical plan they can return to. Clients can use the prompts to identify warning signs, choose supportive actions, collect evidence of strengths, and keep practising kinder, more balanced self-talk in everyday situations.
It is suitable for adults and older teenagers, as well as counsellors, psychologists and other mental health practitioners looking for structured CBT self-esteem materials for worksheets, planning, home learning, or review sessions. Produced by the Centre for Clinical Interventions, the module is ready to view, download and print for practical use.
