Notes to the Questionnaires

The purpose of these questionnaires is to measure changes after counselling.

Items 1 to 9 are drawn from the Patient Health Questionnaire1 and focuses on depression. Items 10 to 16 are drawn from the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale2. Items 17 and 18 constitute a general ‘before – after’ severity scale.

The first questionnaire is completed by the client at the first counselling session. The second and third questionnaires have an additional item no 18, and are completed by the client after six months and (the Ending Questionnaire) as the client finishes.
