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 both a Trainee and a 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 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 individual’s way of relating to themselves and the world around them, and how this has impacted their emotional development. It is through this deep exploration and enhanced insight that children and adults can begin to understand deep-rooted patterns of behaviour that are contributing to their emotional difficulties.
 

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