About Carrie
Carrie Hammett welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens carefully, aiming to make conversations feel manageable. Carrie wants parents and adults facing change to feel heard and supported as they work through difficult emotions.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means she follows the client’s pace and helps them name and make sense of what’s happening.
How Carrie works
Sessions focus on practical ways to cope day to day, and on building confidence to handle future problems. Carrie has eight years of experience working with issues such as parenting worries, family conflict, trauma and abuse, loss and bereavement, eating and body image concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Additional areas she supports include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and relationship breakdown. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP, which is noted here as her professional credential. Carrie practices from the United Kingdom and carries that local perspective into her work.
In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where feelings can be spoken about honestly. The focus is on what matters to each person - identifying small changes, building coping skills and helping them feel more able to face daily demands.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what someone says, asks gentle questions and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, relationship worries and bereavement where being heard is the first step to feeling calmer.Working together to find the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will check goals, preferences and practical needs and adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative effort so clients have a say in how sessions are run and what is prioritised.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls give face-to-face contact for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, and make it easier to keep appointments when travel or time are constraints.
