Child Psychotherapy

Surinder Johore
Child Psychotherapist at Stillpoint in Bath

Surinder is a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist who has worked in the NHS for 20 years with children and their families, in various Senior and Lead Clinical posts, where she has been able to gain extensive experience of working with children and young people aged 0-18 years, with a wide range of emotional difficulties.

She worked with children and families in the charity sector before joining the NHS in 2003 and completing her doctoral-level training in 2008 with the Tavistock Clinic.

Surinder is particularly interested in supporting parent-infant relationships and enjoys working with the under 5s and their parents/carers.

Most recently, she worked with parents and infants in a specialist NHS parent-infant relationship service for 0-2’s as Clinical Lead.

Surinder is able to work with emotional difficulties during the pre and postnatal period of life, supporting parents during pregnancy and with the transition to becoming parents, and
some of the difficult feelings that might arise around this time.

Parents might have worries and concerns, for instance around bonding and attachment, worries about their baby’s crying and temperament, sleeping patterns, or concerns around weaning and feeding difficulties, all of which can impact family relationships.

Surinder is passionate about supporting early relationships and helping parents during this delicate period of life. Her approach is rooted in psychoanalysis, child development and attachment theory.

Surinder is available for brief and longer-term therapy, and usually meets with either or both parents together with their baby or young child. She can also work with older children
and their parents.

The initial meeting/consultation will be longer and up to 1 ¼ hours. Subsequent sessions are 50 minutes and arranged at the same regular time.
