Juliet Rosenfeld studied French and Italian at Oxford University and spent 10 years in advertising before becoming a civil servant working in government communications. During this time she began a Masters degree in Organisational Consultancy at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust which took her down a very different career path.

After several years of preliminary training at the Tavistock she undertook a clinical training at Regents College London school of Psychotherapy and Counselling, qualifying in 2012 as an Integrative Psychotherapist. She continues to have a pluralistic interest in talking therapies although psychoanalytic therapy is her own modality.

Juliet has worked as an honorary psychotherapist at Camden Psychotherapy Unit, one of the UK’s first free psychotherapy clinics and also, in the Couples Department at the Tavistock.

Juliet is an elected Trustee of the UKCP ( UK Council of Psychotherapy, representing 11,000 psychotherapists) and a Clinical Trustee of the Freud Museum, London, Sigmund Freud’s last home, and in both roles is interested in widening access to psychotherapy and the value of psychoanalysis in its many applied senses, not solely as a treatment but as a way of thinking about feelings and one’s own mind.

Juliet now works as a psychotherapist in private practice in North London, with adult individuals and couples. She published her first book in 2020, “The State Of Disbelief” on bereavement and grief, following her husband’s death. Juliet has spoken at many conferences and events on the experience of living with a terminal diagnosis, surviving spousal loss as well as grief more generally.

Juliet campaigns for Grief Education to become part of the National Curriculum and is beginning her second book, which is on love, a subject also embedded in why we find grief so agonising.
