The BEST Psychiatrists in South Coast New South Wales NSW

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”.

Holistic Counselling, taking place in Greenspaces in the Illawarra and Kangaroo Valley. My strengths are in humor, compassion, contextualising feelings, and bringing a broader understanding to who we are. My main formula, is that the better we understand ourselves, the easier we can find the right tools to implement in our lives to alleviate any personal issues or discomforts. We are all body, emotions, mind and soul, interconnected. We don't consider what is 'wrong' with us, but rather work towards a greater understanding and acceptance of how we operate in the world, and using this understanding as a foundation to discover the best tools and approaches that can guide us to create more inner ease and peace.
