We’re so proud to be partnering with Greville Consulting to deliver a tailored Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that supports their team’s mental health, resilience, and personal growth.

At Mindful Pathways, we believe that when people feel supported, they thrive - not just at work, but in life.

Through this partnership, Greville Consulting employees have direct access to confidential, compassionate psychological support when they need it most.

It’s a privilege to walk alongside organisations that truly value the wellbeing of their people.

Thank you, Greville Consulting, for your trust in us. ❤️

Happy International Dog Day ❤️

At Mindful Pathways, we see firsthand the powerful role dogs can play in supporting wellbeing. Studies show that interacting with dogs can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and create a sense of connection.

We’re grateful for Poppy, our resident pup and Inke’s loyal assistant, who brings warmth and calm into the practice. She reminds us daily that sometimes the best therapy is a gentle nudge, a wagging tail, or simply the quiet presence of a trusted companion.

Today we celebrate Poppy, and all the dogs who enrich our lives and positively impact our mental health. ❤️

I recently read The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult, and one particular passage stayed with me:

“Forgiving isn’t something you do for someone else. It’s something you do for yourself. It’s saying, ‘You’re not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.’ It’s saying, ‘You don’t get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.’”

These words are a powerful reminder that forgiveness is not about excusing hurt or forgetting what happened- it’s about reclaiming your own agency.

In psychology, particularly in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we explore how holding tightly to anger, resentment, or rage can keep us fused to the pain of the past. While these emotions are valid and often protective at first, over time they can become barriers to living a life aligned with our values.

Through ACT, people learn strategies such as:
❤️ Defusion – creating space between yourself and painful thoughts so they no longer dictate your actions.
❤️ Acceptance – allowing difficult emotions to exist without letting them control you.
❤️ Values-based living – identifying what truly matters to you and taking steps toward it, even in the presence of pain.

Moving toward forgiveness in this way is not giving up- it’s the opposite. It’s taking your power back. It’s saying, “My life is too important to be defined by what happened to me.”

Jodi Picoult’s words in The Storyteller capture this truth beautifully: forgiveness is less about them, and more about you. It’s a courageous step toward freedom, healing, and a future that’s truly your own. ❤️

Today at I had the privilege of presenting for Bullying No Way: National Week of Action.

This year’s theme - Be Bold. Be Kind. Speak Up - is such a powerful reminder that creating safe, respectful communities is everyone’s responsibility.

We explored practical, psychology-based strategies for parents to:
❤️ Strengthen connections with their children
❤️ Empower kids to be “upstanders,” not bystanders
❤️ Model kindness and courage in everyday life

A huge thank you to the Annesley community for the warm welcome and the meaningful conversations. Let’s continue standing together to be bold, be kind, and speak up - in schools, homes, and beyond.

Today I sat with my younger self, baby Amber.

First, I covered her with the hurtful words my inner critic still whispers.

Then, I tore them up… and replaced them with the loving truths my healthy adult knows she deserves to hear.

❤️ You are enough.
❤️ You are worthy of rest and play.
❤️ You are smart and capable.
❤️ You are unique and special.
❤️ You are allowed to take up space.

This is the power of healing the healer - so we can show up for others with compassion, curiosity, and courage. Thank you .inner.child.healing for the gift of this training today. ❤️

Healing the Healer ❤️

Today our Mindful Pathways team swapped the therapy chair for the healing circle, guided by our amazing Psychologist Inke Jones.

We reconnected with our inner child, wrote words our younger selves needed to hear, and reminded ourselves that caring for us makes us better at caring for you.

✨ Watch this space – we’ll soon be opening expressions of interest for other mental health practitioners to join this powerful, restorative workshop.

Celebrating 10 Years of Mindful Pathways

This week marks a deeply meaningful milestone - it’s been 10 years since I founded Mindful Pathways. What began a decade ago in a small office in Adelaide has grown into a community of care, healing and transformation.

From the very start, the aim has been to empower, inspire, and transform individuals, families and organisations through evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention. Across this journey, we’ve supported clients through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, perinatal challenges, relationship issues and more - always striving to foster resilience, emotional literacy and meaningful connection.

I feel so privileged to lead a team that shares this vision - both present and past employees of Mindful Pathways, all of whom have brought empathy, expertise, creativity and dedication to every interaction with our clients.

What we achieve together goes beyond therapy: it’s about unleashing curiosity, cultivating compassion, and supporting brave transformation in the lives of those who step onto the path with us.

Mindful Pathways has become a hub for not just individual therapy, but also group programs, perinatal support, couples and family therapy, clinical assessment, supervision, workplace EAP consulting and community and corporate workshops. Each offering reflects our ongoing commitment to true client-centered care and growth.

To everyone who has trusted us with their journey - to the clients who’ve shown courage, the colleagues who’ve built this vision with me, and the support from your families and broader community - thank you. To my family and those closest to me: thank you for believing in this vision and holding me through the highs and lows - your unwavering support has been my anchor. You’ve shaped Mindful Pathways into exactly what I envisioned: a space where transformation, meaning and authenticity can flourish.

Here’s to the next chapter, filled with continued learning, deepening connection, and walking the mindful path together. ❤️

With gratitude and hope,
~ Amber

Stepped into the classroom this morning at Flinders University, where I had the pleasure of teaching Psychology Masters and PhD students on Couples and Relationship Therapy.
We explored key challenges in working with couples, discussed real-world case studies, unpacked ethical dilemmas, and got hands-on with some experiential activities. The lecture formed part of the subject Psychological Practice Across Diverse Groups and Contexts, and the students brought such thoughtful insights and curiosity.
Always a privilege to share clinical experience in a teaching setting. ♥️

Today I received my copies of this little gem - a book I worked on as a Subject Consultant for

It’s always such a thrill to tear open an envelope and find a new book with my name in it, even if it’s only written in tiny writing on the inside page… ❤️
