Debbie Carter, BA (Hons), MBACP
About me
I understand all too well that there are occasions in our lives when life itself can become confusing and overwhelming. This can result in us struggling to cope and make sense of it all, which can impact on our own well-being, as well as our relationships and working life. Sometimes it can be really hard to imagine a way forward from your current difficulties and this is where counselling can help you gain an understanding and clarity on your situation.
Counselling and how I can help you
Counselling is a very personal and individual journey. It is built on a foundation of genuine understanding, trust, warmth, and support. The journey at times will be challenging as you explore and unravel your life experiences and difficulties.
My role is to help you explore and reflect on your thoughts, feelings and difficulties of these personal experiences from a professional perspective and in a safe and confidential environment.
I offer appointments at your convenience including evenings, at my practice in Leicester City Centre which is easily accessible by car, bus and train.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at Leicester University as a Contemporary Psychodynamic counsellor. My counselling qualifications are:
- Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling.
- Diploma in Contemporary Psychodynamic Counselling
- BA (Hons) in Professional Counselling
- I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a regulatory and professional body and adhere to their code of ethical practice.
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
