About Me - Danielle Slater

My early life began in the diverse and culturally rich central London (a far cry from the forest I live in today!). I was raised by progressive parents who were artists and writers and who later became esoterics. London’s melting pot of people, along with its richness and diversity, left a lasting and formative impression on me both psychologically and spiritually, for which I am grateful. However, the "big smoke" never truly felt like home.  

​

After a decade-long career in marketing, with a vision to become more creative, the experiences of loss, grief, and trauma finally brought me to a place of seeking a training program that explored the fabric of human experience from a much deeper perspective. I began training as a Clinical Psychotherapist at CCPE in London back in 2008 and completed my MA some time after.

​

In addition to my therapy practice, I am also a training supervisor, Head of Supervision, Course Director, and Lecturer at CCPE, having come full circle from student to member of staff.

​

I support students and qualified therapists in their client work and adopt a relational style of working - a mode of practice that is radically curious, challenges assumptions and biases, and believes that wisdom emerges from the relationship in the presence of the here and now. This work has a reach far beyond the therapy room and represents a humanistic-spiritual approach that is known to improve relationships in all areas and dimensions of our lives, reducing discord, "othering," and a sense of being untethered in this vast and complex world.
