Behind the Badge Podcast

In this episode, we speak with Nev Jones—former Australian Army Intelligence Officer turned psychologist—about his powerful journey from military operations to inner healing.

Have a listen to the podcast here.

After 20 years of service across conflict zones like Iraq, East Timor, and Afghanistan, Nev transitioned into mental health work, dedicating his practice to supporting veterans and emergency services workers.

We explore the concept of moral injury, Nev’s own mental health journey, and the unique ways he integrates outdoor therapy and green woodworking into his psychological practice. We also dive into his social enterprise, Halcyon Woodcraft Australia, and how nature, creativity, and purpose are transforming the recovery landscape for those who’ve served.

This is a conversation about service, healing, and the profound impact of doing the inner work.
