Carrie Hammett

Carrie Hammett BACP welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by grief, stress or relationship strain. She writes simply and warmly to help people begin hard conversations. Her approach centres on listening and creating space so clients can talk about what matters most to them.

Carrie has eight years of professional experience working across stress and anxiety, parenting concerns and relationship difficulties. She also supports people coping with grief and loss, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem and major life changes. Additional areas include ADHD, attachment questions, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, and cancer-related worries.

In sessions she aims to build a calm, non-judgemental environment. Clients are encouraged to share worries and memories at their own pace. The focus is on understanding each person’s experience and finding practical ways to manage emotions and day-to-day pressures.

Carrie uses a client-centred therapy style that puts the person’s priorities first. This means she follows what the client brings, reflects what is said, and helps people make sense of difficult feelings. Small steps and clear goals are used when helpful to turn insights into manageable changes.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English. If you are thinking about hospice or end-of-life matters alongside grief, Carrie can help you talk these through and plan how to cope. To begin, follow the site process to match with her and arrange the first appointment.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and following the client's concerns. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people make sense of feelings, which can support issues such as grief, anxiety and relationship strains. This approach is about building understanding rather than directing or teaching specific techniques.

That same emphasis on listening transfers well to online work because the aim is to create a steady space to talk. Carrie will collaborate with each person to decide how sessions should run, matching the approach to your goals and preferences. Together you will test what feels most helpful and change direction as needed.

Session formats for this profile are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the exact options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit around family life, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others value having a shorter check-in or not being on camera some weeks. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you schedule so sessions fit your routine and needs.
