💡 What is the CORE-10?
The CORE-10 is a short, 10-question tool used to check in on your overall emotional wellbeing. It looks at how you’ve been feeling over the past week.

It helps you – and your therapist – get a sense of how things are going, and whether you might be feeling:

Low or anxious

Isolated or overwhelmed

Struggling with daily life

Or finding things hard to cope with

It’s used widely in mental health and therapy settings, including the NHS, to track changes and progress over time.

​

🧠 What does it measure?
The CORE-10 covers:

Symptoms of anxiety and depression

Physical wellbeing

How you're managing everyday stress and coping

Any risk indicators, such as thoughts of self-harm or aggression

It gives a general snapshot of your psychological distress right now.
