The CBT Understanding Behaviours Pack gives counsellors structured resources for helping clients understand the relationship between activity, mood, energy and motivation.
This pack is particularly useful for behavioural activation work, especially with clients experiencing low mood, withdrawal, avoidance, reduced motivation or loss of routine. It includes an activity diary to establish a clear baseline and an activity menu to help clients choose manageable actions when motivation feels low.
Designed for professional counsellor use, these resources support collaborative therapy planning and help clients notice how behaviour influences mood, energy and wellbeing.

Why Counsellors Buy This Pack
When mood is low, motivation often drops — and when activity reduces, mood can dip further. This creates a cycle that many clients find difficult to break.
This pack gives counsellors simple, practical tools to help clients notice their patterns and begin taking small, manageable steps. The activity diary helps establish what is currently happening, while the activity menu provides concrete options when clients cannot think what to do.
A useful pack for counsellors who want clear behavioural activation resources that are structured, realistic and easy for clients to engage with.
