Sophie K Rosa

I am a UKCP-registered psychoanalytic psychotherapist-in-training. I see psychoanalysis as a caring kind of listening and conversation that pays special attention to the unconscious realm. I am especially interested in how our early experiences and relationships impact our lives, and how our suffering and enjoyment is shaped by the society we live in. 

I began my training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at The Philadelphia Association in London, and am now in training with The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis. Psychoanalytic training typically takes around five years, and requires therapists to undergo intense therapeutic work themselves. 

As well my one-to-one work with clients, I work in therapeutic communities supporting people who have experiences of social marginalisation and psychosis. 

I am also a writer, and a trans and sex worker -inclusive feminist. I am the author of Radical Intimacy and write Red Flags, a psychoanalytically-informed advice column, for Novara Media.
