About Carrie
Carrie Hammett is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, relationship strain, family conflict and grief. Carrie also supports those coping with trauma, eating concerns, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She lists codependency among her focus areas and can help people noticing people-pleasing or difficulty saying no.
Carrie uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She listens for what matters and follows the client’s pace. Conversations tend to focus on improving self-awareness, naming patterns that cause distress, and finding practical ways to set boundaries and manage emotions.
In sessions she encourages straightforward discussion about what feels hardest. That can include exploring how family roles developed, how attachment shows up in relationships, or how illness and caregiving affect daily life. She can talk through concerns related to adoption, abandonment, autism, chronic illness and fatherhood issues when they come up.
People often bring questions about parenting, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Carrie helps people break problems down into manageable steps and try small changes between sessions. She uses plain language and practical suggestions rather than jargon.
To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and are set through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Client-Centred Work Translates Online
Carrie’s main approach is Client-Centred Therapy. This method focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. It helps people who want to clarify their feelings, understand their relationship patterns and practise new ways of responding.In practice this means sessions that start by asking what is most important to you. The counsellor mirrors back what she hears, helps you name patterns such as people-pleasing, and supports you in testing small changes between sessions. For issues like grief, parenting stress or codependency, the emphasis is on your experience and what feels manageable to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will work with you to decide whether the client-centred way fits your needs and goals, and will adapt the focus as you progress. That decision is collaborative and can change over time.
