Carrie Hammett, BACP

Carrie Hammett offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk through what matters most. Carrie aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.

With eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Carrie focuses on everyday problems that can become heavy to carry. She helps people facing grief, parenting strain, relationship tension and family conflict. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, eating issues, trauma and compassion fatigue.

Her practice pays attention to histories that shape how people relate to others. Carrie supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, adoption and foster care issues, and the particular stresses of chronic illness or cancer. She offers a steady presence when life feels uncertain.

Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach Carrie uses. That means sessions start from the person's own priorities. She follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said and helps people arrive at choices that feel right for them.

Sessions can take different forms to suit schedules and needs. Carrie can meet by video call, by phone, or through live chat and messaging. She describes the therapy process in straightforward terms and works with each person to find what helps in their daily life.

How client-centred care works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves warm listening, reflection and prioritising what the client brings to each session. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, relationship stress and feeling stuck because it follows the client's pace and goals.

Carrie will work together with each person to find the right way forward. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process shaped by the client's needs, aims and comfort. She adapts how sessions run as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read tone and facial expression while staying at home. Phone sessions suit quieter voices or lower bandwidth and can be easier to fit into short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a way to check in between conversations or for people who prefer writing over talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going alongside busy lives.
