Carrie Hammett, BACP

Carrie Hammett is a BACP counsellor who helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and relationship worries. She supports those facing grief, parenting strain and family conflicts. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at making it easier to talk about what feels overwhelming.

Carrie works to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they really think and feel. Conversations focus on the practical and emotional parts of daily life, such as coping with change or handling difficult conversations with people who matter.

With eight years of experience in the United Kingdom, she has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Carrie also offers help around eating issues, ADHD, and challenges linked to adoption, attachment and fatherhood issues.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. The counsellor listens, reflects back what she hears and helps people try out different ways of coping. She adjusts the pace to each person, supporting small steps forward rather than rushing to solutions.

If you are considering therapy, Carrie encourages taking that first step and completing the short matching questionnaire. That starts a conversation about what you want to change and how she might help you reach those goals.

Client-centred work and online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the person's pace to help them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for issues such as anxiety, relationship worries, grief and low self-esteem.

Working together to find the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will help you decide what feels most helpful based on your needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the way she works if something does not fit.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a steady rhythm of appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or a slower, more reflective session when needed. Ask about the practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be planned to suit your routine.
