My name is Dr Peter Slater, I am an adult psychodynamic psychotherapist. I am  a consultant child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapist having trained and undertaken my doctorate at the Tavistock clinic in London in 2008. I offer assessments, family and parent consultations and offer long term and short term work.

I work with children as young as 3 years old and adolescents as well as parents and families. I have undertaken a mentalisation based training in family therapy (MBT- F).

I have worked in NHS CAMHS settings for 12 years and in private practice for 18 years. In 2015 I became Senior Lecturer and Programme Lead for a child psychotherapy training programme in New Zealand which I designed and implemented. 

Currently I am a Visiting Lecturer at the Tavistock Clinic and Heguang University in China. I offer clinical  supervision and  tutor doctoral students and trainee psychotherapists as well as working clinically with adults and children and young people in private practice in Central London. 

I offer supervision for psychotherapists and psychiatrists wanting to think about their work from a psychoanalytic frame.

I have published a number of clinical papers in peer reviewed journals and a recent chapter on anxiety in a book devoted to psychopathology.

I have worked with complex and enduring presentations with both adults and children and offer report writing, consultations to schools and social care.  I have worked with complex and severe presentations in adolescents and young people which have included suidcal ideation, self harming behaviours, eating disorders and learning and focus issues.
