Caroline Palmer

Welcome to Child Psychotherapy Cornwall. My name is Caroline Palmer and I am a qualified child and adolescent psychotherapist and adult psychodynamic counsellor. I worked in the NHS, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), for 10 years as a training and qualified child psychotherapist, as well as in private practice in Truro Cornwall.
 
I have been working with children, adolescents, adults and families, experiencing a range of difficulties, for over twenty five years.
 
My six year training as a child and adolescent psychotherapist has provided me with an in-depth understanding of child development and all aspects of children's mental health. I am trained to closely observe and interpret both verbal and non-verbal, conscious and unconscious, communication. This is essential, in order to understand what has shaped an individuals way of relating to themselves and the world around them, and how this has impacted on their emotional development. It is through this deep exploration, and enhanced insight, that children and adults can be helped to understand deep rooted patterns of behaviour that are contributing to their emotional difficulties.  

I never underestimate the bravery and courage that it takes to seek support from a stranger or professional. Above all I am a compassionate human being, who can offer a warm, gentle space, to help individuals and families gain greater understanding, to facilitate personal growth and change.
