Debbie Lockyer FD (Open), Registered Member MBACP (Accred)
About me
Sometimes, in life, there are periods of time when things don't go the way we hope. We start to experience feelings of anxiety, loneliness and depression. We may feel that things are unlikely to improve any time soon which can bring a sense of fear and being out of control. It's at times like these that talking to someone may help us to improve our situation.
As an experienced and fully qualified private practice Counsellor and EMDR Trauma Therapist based in the local area of Winton, Bournemouth I am able to offer a warm, comfortable and friendly environment in which you can explore and work through the thoughts and feelings associated with these difficult times. I will work with you on a one to one basis offering emotional support as you take the steps you need to regain a sense of control in your life.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
