Carrie Hammett
Compassionate counsellor for everyday struggles
About Carrie
Carrie Hammett offers calm, practical support for people dealing with anxiety, stress and major life changes. She makes space for honest conversation and helps clients find clearer ways to cope. Her style is warm and non-judgemental and she encourages small, manageable steps forward.
Carrie is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member, shown as BACP, with eight years of experience. She has worked with people facing grief, parenting pressures, relationship and family problems, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports those struggling with eating concerns, low self-esteem, depression and compassion fatigue. Her practice pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care histories, and challenges linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. Carrie also helps clients manage chronic illness or pain, cancer-related distress and the practical fallout of separation or divorce.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and person-focused. Carrie listens first and follows the client’s lead, helping them name what matters and test out new ways of coping. Conversations often focus on immediate problems and on building practical routines that reduce overwhelm.
She uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach, which places the client’s perspective at the heart of the work. That means this counsellor focuses on understanding each person’s experience and working at their pace. If you are ready to try talking with someone, Carrie supports the first steps and the ones after that.

Sessions & fees
Client-led therapy online and practical support
Client-Centred Therapy is a practical approach that puts the client’s experience first. The counsellor listens without judging and reflects back what she hears so people can understand themselves better. This approach helps when someone is working through grief, relationship problems, or feelings of emptiness.Because Carrie follows the client’s lead, she will work with each person to find what helps most. Together they will discuss goals, try different ways of talking and agree on the pace of change. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process rather than a fixed promise from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging can work for people who prefer writing or want flexible check-ins between calls.
These options make therapy more adaptable to work, family and health demands. Registered or accredited professionals can meet people where they are and help set up a plan that fits daily life and goals.
