Sean Junor Sheppard
Ph.D
Dr. Sean Junor Sheppard is a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist working in the NHS and in private practice. He is passionate about psychoanalysis’ potential to respond to how issues of race, culture and diversity can be thought of in psychoanalytic treatment. His Ph.D. on the investigation of the transference in cross-cultural psychoanalytic psychotherapy is an example of this, as it explores the transference relationship’s usefulness in tending to the effect on the patient’s self from the social, political and religious contexts they inhabit.
​
Dr. Sean Junor-Sheppard’s work in the NHS has involved applying psychoanalytic psychotherapy to schools and community settings. Here he has shown psychoanalytic psychotherapy’s usefulness through consultation, case discussion, training and psychoanalytic interventions, to professionals, children and their families in Enfield and Hackney primary schools.
​
Dr Sean Junor-Sheppard remains passionate about the role that social work has in ensuring that LAC and adopted children previous traumas and abuses are tended to. Having trained as a social worker himself, he has worked to ensure that the supervision, consultation and training he currently offers Social workers, teachers and foster carers reflects both his experience as a Social worker and his clinical experience as a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist.
​
Dr Sean Junor-Sheppard is interested in supporting professionals in their therapeutic work with children and families. His role as an occasional lecturer at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic focuses on helping the academic and professional development of these professionals.
