Heather Emblen

Professional Profile

My name is Heather, I am an experienced, fully qualified and fully BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist working with Think CBT in Sheffield. I have availability for sessions both face to face in Sheffield and online.

I have a straightfoward, direct approach in therapy sessions alongisde being warm , supportive and compassionate.  Working together, I will always prioritise forming a good working relationship with you and ensure that you have time and space to explore your thoughts and feelings throughout the therapy process. 

We will agree a treatment plan together and we will work on the problem using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques most relevant to you. Learning, practicing and intergrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques into your daily life can help you to achieve lasting change. My aim therefore, is to empower you to do this through helping you to recognise and understand patterns of thinking and acting that are unhelpful to you and work with you to change these patterns. The therapy process can at times be challenging and emotional but it can also be inspirational and life changing.

I have particular interest and experience in working with anxiety problems such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and social anxiety, low self-esteem.

I am also experienced in working with a wide range of other mental health problems including:

• depression
• generalised anxiety
• panic disorder
• phobias
• post-traumatic stress disorder
• health anxiety.

My background includes 13 years experience working in NHS Mental Health Services with a range of people from different backgrounds. I spent the first year of my mental health career supporting people with severe mental health problems. For the last 12 years, I have been delivering therapy as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner and for the last 6 years, as a fully qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.
