I’m an Educational, Developmental and Clinical Psychologist and Director of SavvyPsych, where I work with individuals across the lifespan to support positive learning, development, relationships, and wellbeing. Before entering psychology, I worked as a small device and computer technician, which sparked my passion for integrating technology into psychological assessment and therapy. This passion led me to co-found GameIQ. My PhD research focused on evaluating the clinical use of smartphone apps in adolescent therapy, and it continues to inform my consultancy work in the HealthTech space. I’m particularly interested in apps, mHealth, ethics, serious games, and the development of digital and professional competencies. I was proud to be the first Clinical Lead at a leading Australian digital therapeutics company, where I helped develop digital tools to support executive function in early childhood. I’m a strong advocate for creating ethical, evidence-based, developmentally sensitive, and fun digital therapeutic and serious games solutions. I work across private practice and educational settings, including early childhood, primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Currently, I’m a Senior Educational and Developmental Psychologist at Monash Children’s Hospital, where I’m part of the incredible Developmental Paediatrics team. I am also a Senior Lecturer at Swinburne University in the Department of Psychological Sciences where I lecture, supervise research, and provide clinical supervision in the Swinburne University Psychology Clinic as the Assessment Lead. I’m a Founding Director of The Australian Educational and Developmental Psychology Association (AEDPA), and previously served on the Editorial Board for Educational and Developmental Psychologist in the Social Media Communications portfolio. From 2016 to 2022, I volunteered in various roles on the APS National Committee for the College of Educational and Developmental Psychologists.

A primary teacher turned Clinical, Counselling, and Ed & Dev Psychologist, with 34 years as a practitioner and 22 as an academic, John Roodenburg comes with a lived experience around this panel’s debate. An APS Fellow involved with the E&D College since its inception, he is a former National Chair who directed the Krongold Clinic and led Monash’s graduate E&D programs, including the development of the doctoral stream. Proving he still can’t sit still any better than in primary school, John’s "retirement" has been spent authoring books on classroom environments (2015), a trauma-themed novel (2022), and A Psychologist’s Casebook (Routledge, 2025).
