British artist and expert in child guidance. She joined the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), London, in 1920 and served on the council from 1928 on. Jephson was born in London and studied art at the Slade School. She also studied psychology under Leonard Seif in Munich, Germany, and later worked with children at the Individual Psychology Clinic of Doris Rayner.
