Personalisation
Personalisation enhances the helpfulness of CBT by adapting therapeutic approaches to the needs of each individual, to create a more relevant and useful therapeutic experience. The adaptation of therapeutic activities to meet the specific needs, preferences, and circumstances of the individual in therapy offers a more relevant therapeutic experience. This approach differs from a standardised method.

Key Features and Benefits
Personalising CBT can significantly improve therapeutic outcomes by:
- Improving engagement and motivation, as the therapy is more relatable and applicable to the individual.
- Addressing specific issues and challenges unique to the individual, which can lead to improved problem-solving mechanisms.
- Making therapy more sustainable, by integrating it into the person’s daily routine and preferences.
Convenience and Flexibility
Personalised CBT is designed to fit into the individual’s lifestyle, making it more accessible and easier to maintain over time. This approach can involve adjusting session times, formats (e.g., in-person, online), and therapeutic activities to align with the individual’s needs.
