Juliet Rosenfeld is a psychoanalyst and author, living and working in London. In both her clinical work and writing, she has a special interest in couples, and the difficulties they encounter in long term relationships. She has written widely on mental health, and her research work at UCL is focused on the impact of relationship breakdown on society and how we might understand it better from a therapeutic, rather than an economic or cultural perspective. Her first book ‘The State of Disbelief’ (2020) was a study of grief and bereavement within a couple and ‘Affairs’ – published in 2025 – considers five people’s extra-marital relationship, and the psychological and childhood roots that may help explain why an affair happens.
Juliet studied at Oxford, then worked in advertising, and briefly the civil service, before retraining as a psychotherapist twenty years ago. She is accredited by the BPC ( British Psychoanalytic Council) and a Member of the British Psychoanalytical Association ( BPAS), the IPA ( International Psychoanalytical Association) as well as being accredited by the UKCP and BACP as a psychotherapist in the UK.
She was a Trustee of the UKCP ( Council of Psychotherapy) and is now Clinical Trustee at the Freud Museum, London.
