Carrie Hammett, BACP

Carrie Hammett is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. The BACP credential indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers focused support for stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem and depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Additional areas of attention include adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness or disability, codependency, and domestic violence.

She works from a client-centered perspective that prioritizes the individual’s experience, listening without judgment and helping people explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Carrie aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where difficult topics can be named and worked through collaboratively. She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and supports clients through that first step toward addressing relationships, parenting concerns, bereavement, and other life stresses.

Practical and empathetic, Carrie focuses on building a working partnership with each person to identify goals and develop coping strategies suited to their situation and needs.

Client-Centered Care and Flexible Online Therapy Options

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, prioritizing empathy, active listening and the client’s own goals. This approach helps people explore feelings and make sense of experiences at their own pace, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and self-esteem issues.

Carrie approaches treatment as a collaborative process - she will work with each person to identify what feels most useful, test different ways of working, and adjust the approach based on needs and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, caregiving or mobility limitations and allow people to meet with registered professionals from their own location. Carrie uses these formats to support consistent, accessible work on the concerns that matter most to each client.
