Personal profile

Biography

Jody is a trained clinical neuropsychologist of British and Dutch descent. She has worked in private practice, public health services and research roles for over a decade and is an Aphra Board Approved Supervisor. In 2020, Jody co-chaired the national neuropsychology conference in partnership with the Australian Indigenous Psychology Association (AIPA) which had a focus on decolonising neuropsychology and Indigenous psychology. Her clinical work is framed by a decolonising and culturally responsive approach and includes neuropsychology assessment in the context of justice settings. Jody spent two years in a community role where she co-developed two Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) services in the Fitzroy Valley, Central Kimberley region of Western Australia. She has since returned home to Awabakal Country (Newcastle) to commence a PhD in decolonising neuropsychological practices with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, under Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander governance. She recently coauthored a Bugmy Bar Book report on “Decision-making and emotional and behavioural regulation in 18 to 25-year-olds: A neurodevelopmental perspective” (forthcoming). Jody is privliged to work for the Australian Indigenous Psychology Education Project (AIPEP) under the leadership of Professor Pat Dudgeon AM.
