Neami was first formed in Melbourne in 1986 and launched at the Heidelberg Town Hall in 1987. Neami’s founding members were John Cohen and Margaret Tomkins. In 1988, Neami was incorporated after two years of building alliances with local, carer, consumer, health service providers and community members. Neami sought to address the growing housing needs of people leaving hospital and identify the gaps in services for those experiencing mental illness and work with consumers to fill those gaps. Originally Neami was named North Eastern Alliance for the Mentally Ill. In 1998 Consumers and the Committee of Management sought to remove the emphasis of “mentally ill” and chose to use the acronym of Neami with the mission of “improving mental health and wellbeing in local communities”.

I am passionate about developing greater self-awareness and emotional resilience with everyone I work with.

Counselling usually deals with present issues that are worked through with a supportive and thorough discussion. Counselling is more concerned with immediate life situations that have caused confusion or distress. Psychotherapy is a form of treatment that goes deeper and is usually longer-term than counselling. It can help to uncover and change a person’s entrenched beliefs and behaviours which have had a negative impact on their life and relationships. The goal of psychotherapy is to increase a person’s self-awareness by examining their unconscious patterns. Nobody is immune to some of life’s difficult periods, and having support is crucial towards better mental health. As a counsellor, I love to see children and adults gain the strength they need to overcome personal challenges.

Our psychologist services can help with a broad range of issues. We offer professional marriage & relationship counselling as well as individual counselling. All of our counsellors have had many years of experience helping their clients to more effectively manage common difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, stress and anger management.
