Tools and Measures

Developed Within the Pluralistic Approach

As part of the development of pluralistic practice, research, and theory, we have created a range of tools and measures. All of our instruments are free to download and use (without permission), but please do not alter in any way. We would be very pleased to hear about your experiences of using these instruments, and any other tools or measures that you feel are helpful to a pluralistic approach to practice.

Goals Form (with guidelines)Download

The Goals Form is a simple, personalised tool that can be used to set goals in counselling and psychotherapy, and to monitor clients’ progress towards them.

Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences (with guidelines)Download

The C-NIP is a brief measure for use at assessment and review sessions to facilitate a discussion about the client’s preferences for counselling and psychotherapy. The form can be downloaded or the online version of the tool (with automatic scoring) can be completed. Read more about the C-NIP. A therapist-version of the tool, for self-reflection, research, and training purposes, is available here.
