Carrie Hammett offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters to each person. Carrie aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and manageable for anyone who is unsure where to begin.

She uses a client-centred approach, which means the conversation follows the client's concerns and pace. Sessions focus on helping people name their feelings, spot patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Practical coping ideas are paired with space to talk through painful experiences like loss and grief. Over eight years in the field, Carrie has worked with people facing parenting strain, relationship difficulties and family conflict. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and body-image struggles, depression and low self-esteem.

Her practice includes additional focus on areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues and caring for someone with long-term illness. Sessions are available in English and are held remotely by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Carrie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP.

This reflects her professional registration in the United Kingdom. People who choose to work with Carrie can expect straightforward language and a steady, patient pace. She encourages clients to set small goals and to move forward at a comfortable speed.

The emphasis is on practical steps and honest conversation that can fit into everyday life.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the client as the expert in their own life. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people explore feelings and choices. This style is useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship or family issues because it emphasises understanding and the person's own goals.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the sessions to the client's needs and preferences. Decisions about pace, focus and any practical exercises are made together so the work fits the client's life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well when face-to-face contact is preferred. Phone calls can be easier if bandwidth is limited or if a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing and want flexible, ongoing access between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily routines, while keeping the therapeutic goals at the centre of the work.
