About Carrie
Carrie Hammett is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship tensions, family problems, grief and loss. Carrie also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and body image concerns, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She adopts a client-centred approach, listening first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on what the client brings - feelings, memories and practical pressures - and on making straightforward steps that fit into everyday life. Conversations are unhurried and aim to help people feel clearer about their options.
Carrie often works with issues linked to attachment, adoption and foster care, and abandonment. She also supports those managing chronic illness, cancer, or the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Practical topics such as fatherhood issues, commitment worries, and separation are included in her work.
Her style favours reflective listening and helping people notice patterns that affect relationships and parenting. She encourages small, manageable changes rather than sweeping promises. This can help with emotional overwhelm, repeated relationship cycles, or finding new ways to parent under pressure.
To begin, readers are invited to use the site matching steps to describe their situation and book an initial session. Carrie will work with each person to clarify goals and decide how to proceed over upcoming meetings.
How sessions work
How client-centred work and online sessions fit together
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the client lead the conversation. The counsellor reflects back what they hear and asks questions that help the person clarify feelings and priorities. This approach is often useful for stress, relationship worries and parenting concerns where being heard helps people make practical choices.Using a client-centred lens, the therapist and client treat the choice of method as something to decide together. Early sessions are used to identify what feels most pressing and which ways of working might help. The counsellor will invite feedback and adjust the approach based on the client's needs, goals and preferences.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as this profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue meetings through life changes and to involve reflective conversations that connect to day-to-day family routines.
