Carrie Hammett , BACP

Carrie Hammett is a UK-based therapist with eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, grief and loss. She draws on client-centered therapy to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Carrie is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognized standards of practice and ongoing professional development.

Carrie works collaboratively with each person to understand the specific pressures they face, whether coping with change, rebuilding self-esteem, managing trauma and abuse, or navigating eating and body image concerns. Her experience also includes supporting those dealing with grief, parenting strains, compassion fatigue and the complexities of ADHD and attachment-related issues. She aims to help clients find clarity, build resilience and identify practical steps toward better daily functioning.

Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, Carrie offers a supportive atmosphere that honors each client s pace and preferences. Her approach emphasizes empathetic listening and respect so clients can address difficult topics with confidence and move toward meaningful change.

Client-Centered Approaches for Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting and empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions. The therapist offers reflective listening and genuine understanding to help clients explore emotions, build self-awareness and strengthen self-esteem - an approach that often supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, grief and parenting challenges.

In practice, this method helps clients to feel heard and respected while they work through complex feelings related to trauma, family problems or life transitions. Carrie uses this collaborative stance to tailor conversations to each person s needs rather than imposing a set treatment plan.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Carrie works together with clients to identify what fits best based on their goals, preferences and day-to-day realities. This collaborative process may involve adjusting how sessions are framed or combining techniques over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, take sessions by phone, use live chat or exchange messages through text-based sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while maintaining continuity of support from a licensed professional.
