Wellbeing & Distress
This short form looks at emotional wellbeing and everyday functioning — how you’ve been coping, feeling, and relating to others.
The CORE-10 gives a simple overview of your current level of psychological distress. It’s not a diagnosis, but it helps us see changes over time and notice when extra care or support might be useful.
You can review the questions yourself, or we can complete them together when we meet.
