About Carrie
Carrie Hammett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns and relationship strain. She has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Carrie aims to make first steps easier for people who are unsure what to expect from therapy.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk through difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on listening, understanding each person's experience, and helping people find their own next steps.
Background and approach
The work is practical and down to earth rather than full of jargon. Carrie often supports people managing grief and loss, and those coping with life changes such as separation or shifts in family roles. She also helps with issues around self-esteem, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue for those feeling worn out by caregiving or demanding work.
Her practice includes attention to parenting challenges and family conflict, including questions that arise around adoption, fatherhood, and attachment. She also works with people affected by trauma and abuse, chronic illness, or neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. Carrie uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s priorities central.
She listens closely to what matters most and follows the pace the client prefers. Over time this helps people build clearer coping strategies and steadier day-to-day routines. To begin, she asks people to share what they hope to change.
From there sessions are planned to match those aims and to fit the practical demands of family life or work.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist offers empathic listening, reflects what the client shares, and helps the person explore their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, stress, parenting worries and coping with grief because it centres the client’s concerns and pace.In practice Carrie uses the client-centred stance to help clients clarify priorities and set achievable goals. She works collaboratively to choose ways of working that fit each person's life and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will check in regularly to adjust methods as needs and goals change.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people see facial expressions and build rapport, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can offer a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
