About Carrie
Carrie Hammett is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of professional experience and helps people with stress, anxiety, parenting, relationship and family issues, and coping with grief and loss.
Carrie focuses on creating a straightforward talking space where people can say what they think and feel. She listens and reflects rather than directing. Sessions are practical and aim to help people make sense of difficult moments and decide on small next steps.
Her work often covers parenting strains, family conflict and relationship problems alongside anxiety and the emotional effects of grief. She also supports people facing ongoing pressures such as compassion fatigue, chronic illness or long-term pain, and concerns around body image and eating.
Carrie uses a client-centred approach. That means the person’s own experience guides the pace and focus of the work. The counsellor echoes what’s said, checks understanding, and follows topics the client brings up.
She is used to helping people cope with life changes, abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and the particular pressures some people feel when managing ADHD or autism. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English.

Client-centred approaches and how online counselling can work
Client-centred work places the person’s own thoughts and feelings at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the client. This approach suits people who want to talk things through at their own pace and be heard without direction.Where issues like grief, relationship strain or parenting pressure are on the table, a direct, person-led way of working can help people name what is hard and test small changes between sessions. The method is useful for emotional concerns such as anxiety, low mood, compassion fatigue and stress arising from long-term illness.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early meetings and will be open to adapting the style as needs become clearer. This is handled as a joint decision rather than imposed by the counsellor.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, reduce travel, and allow a brief check-in over a short break. Some people prefer audio-only if they do not want to use video, while others choose video for face-to-face contact; check which formats are offered when you arrange the first session.
