Carrie Hammett , BACP

Carrie Hammett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with grief, parenting challenges and family conflict. Carrie speaks English and brings eight years of experience to her work, and holds BACP accreditation.

Carrie aims to make the room a calm place to talk. She encourages people to set the pace and to name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, depression, eating and compassion fatigue. She also works with people affected by trauma and abuse, and those managing change such as separation or chronic illness. Additional areas she supports include attachment and adoption-related issues, body image and challenges linked to autism and ADHD.

In early meetings Carrie helps clients map practical steps they can try between sessions. These may include simple routines, communication experiments or short reflective exercises. The aim is steady progress rather than fast fixes, with the client shaping what feels useful.

Carrie offers a straightforward, client-led style. People who value being heard and guided toward small, manageable changes often find this approach helpful. She encourages anyone thinking about therapy to take the next step when they feel ready.

How Carrie’s client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them make sense of their experience. This approach suits issues like anxiety, relationship strain, grief and self-esteem struggles because it creates space to be heard and to try new ways of thinking and relating.

The right way of working is often discovered together. Carrie will help clients decide which approach and session format fit their goals and preferences. Decisions are collaborative, so people can change direction if something does not feel helpful.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to keep eye contact and share non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people reflect in writing and fit short sessions into busy days. These options help people access regular, consistent support without extra travel.
