Supporting effective CBT for children and young people
CBT Hub was created to address a familiar challenge in practice: finding CBT worksheets and resources that are both clinically sound and genuinely engaging for children and young people.
Our Mission
Too often, child therapists are faced with materials that are theoretically accurate but difficult to use, or simplified worksheets that lack clinical depth.
CBT Hub was built to bridge that gap. Our mission is simple: to help therapists feel supported and young people feel understood.
Our approach
Every resource is written, reviewed, and tested by qualified clinicians, and informed by clinical research, learning theory, and direct feedback from young people.
The result is a collection of tools that genuinely connect—supporting CBT that is easier to understand, apply, and remember in real therapeutic work.
How this shows up in practice
Accessible psychoeducation
Simple, visual explanations that support shared understanding, without pathologising language.
Interactive, in-session work
Practical resources that support participation, reflection, and skill development within sessions.
Parent–carer worksheets
Recognising the wider system around children & young people as part of therapy.
Tools for the therapy journey
Resources that support therapists across assessment, formulation, intervention, and endings.
Supporting skills beyond sessions
Worksheets that support skill use and learning in everyday contexts, not just within sessions.
