About Carrie

Carrie Hammett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling with relationship or family tensions, or coping with grief and loss. Carrie aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive for anyone taking that step.

Carrie creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She listens closely and follows what each person brings to the room, adapting the pace to suit their needs. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and on practical ways to make small changes that feel achievable.

Her work often addresses parenting concerns and the strains that come with family life. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, codependency, and problems with self-esteem. Carrie has experience helping clients navigate chronic illness, bereavement, and major life changes.

Clients who value being heard and guided rather than told what to do tend to find her approach helpful. She uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the conversation on the client's experience and goals. Carrie works in English and practises within the United Kingdom.

Taking part in sessions involves choosing to talk about what feels important, at a pace the client sets. To begin, people follow the site booking steps and complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and schedule their sessions.

How Carrie’s client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting back what a person says. This approach helps people feel heard and clearer about their priorities, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, relationship strain and grief. The therapist follows the client's pace and topics rather than directing the conversation.

Working together to find the right approach is part of the process. Carrie will help clients decide what works best based on their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may change over time as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it simpler to access support for managing family stresses, parenting concerns or living with chronic illness, without promising a particular format or outcome.
