About Carrie

Carrie Hammett BACP welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by work, family pressures or life changes. She writes simply and directly, and aims to make the first conversation feel manageable. If stress, anxiety, grief or parenting strain are weighing you down, she helps people begin to untangle what matters most.

Carrie uses a client-centred style that focuses on the person rather than checking off techniques. Sessions are built around listening, reflecting and helping you find your own solutions. Conversations are steady and practical, with room to talk about feelings and everyday problems alike.

She has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and has worked with people facing relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and loss. Carrie also supports those coping with chronic illness, body image concerns, and the challenges of adoption or foster care. She pays attention to issues such as compassion fatigue and ADHD when they come up in sessions.

In practice she helps people who are juggling caring responsibilities, work demands and parenting pressures. The aim is to help you notice patterns, try small changes and build clearer ways of coping. She encourages realistic steps that fit into day-to-day life.

Starting therapy can feel hard, and Carrie acknowledges that courage. She asks straightforward questions at the outset to understand what you want from counselling, and then works alongside you to shape the sessions around those goals.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating space for the client to talk and be heard. The therapist listens attentively, reflects what she hears and helps people follow their own priorities. This approach is often helpful for stress, relationship concerns, grief and parenting struggles because it centres the person's experience rather than a fixed technique.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help choose ways of working that feel comfortable. That collaborative conversation can include trying different rhythms or session focuses until you find what helps most.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for people who prefer remote conversations while still working in a client-centred way with a registered or accredited professional.
