freebies!

Books: Books authored by me, for which I have the copyright are available for free download. I have been writing a book series on how to deal with different forms of OCD. Whatever books I write and publish will be included here and the pdfs of the same will be available for free download. (Books have the prefix B in the list).

Worksheets: A Worksheet is a simple, yet powerful tool to improve your mental well-being. A worksheet will provide information on the topic it covers, which is both bite-sized and adequate. A worksheet also offers a structured way of implementing the concepts it covers. On this page, you can access worksheets across various topics that can guide you through your struggles, help you cast off unhealthy coping mechanisms and build healthier habits. All these worksheets are free and more will keep getting added regularly. Click on the specific worksheet and it will get downloaded to your device. (All files with the prefix W are worksheets).

Scales: Psychometric Scales are standardized tools used to measure psychological traits, attitudes, disorders or behaviors. Some psychometric scales are free to use and are user- administered. You don’t need to pay for them and you don’t need a clinician to administer them. On this page, I have provided some of these scales. Click on the desired scale and a pdf version will get downloaded to your device. More scales will keep getting added here. (All files with the prefix S are scales).  

** Please note: While these scales are used for diagnosing disorders too, it is always important to not base your decisions on the responses from one test. To make an accurate diagnosis, a clinical interview between the mental health professional and the client is a must. At best, these scales can offer some insight into the symptoms, which would need to be validated by a professional. Since responses could be biased, the results of these tests should not be considered sacrosanct.

Disclaimer:

Unshackle Counselling will take no responsibility if faulty decisions are made on the basis of the results of these tests. 

All scales are free to use. If you know any reason why any of the scales should be pulled down, please write to me.

If you want a worksheet or a scale on a specific topic that you don’t find here, feel free to write to me.
