Neami Steps to Wellbeing

Neami Steps to Wellbeing is a FREE short term program funded by the Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network delivering 6 x 1hr sessions of individual wellbeing coaching program for people:

  • 16 years old and over,
  • Who are experiencing an increase in life stress or life challenges or emerging signs of anxiety or depression (e.g. feeling stuck, unmotivated, flat, low, experiencing difficulty making changes),
  • Who live/work/study/or access a GP in the  Eastern Melbourne PHN catchment area (Fully cover LGAs of Banyule, Boorondara, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Monash, Nillumbik, Whitehorse, Whittlesea; Most/part of Murrindindi, Mitchell, and Yarra Ranges), and
  • Not already accessing regular sessions with a psychologist providing the similar support.


Our professional Wellbeing Coaches can offer coaching around the following topics.

  • Understanding and identifying early signs of stress, anxiety or depression;
  • Make sense of the current situation (Moods, emotions, stress) that is impacting my wellbeing;
  • Develop strategies to support and improve my wellbeing;
  • Identify supports and resources that can assist my wellbeing in the future;
  • Access online resources to support my health and wellbeing.

Wellbeing coaching can be offered as face to face appointments at our Heidelberg, Blackburn and Croydon offices, or via phone coaching or video coaching and are available from 9am -8pm Monday to Friday. Our team consists of coaches from social work and occupational therapy backgrounds, and those working from a lived experience perspective (trained in the purposeful use of their own experiences with challenges to wellbeing and mental health).

We also offer a range of Wellbeing Workshops (* I have attached the flyer).
