Dr Felicity Reeve has been part of the Neal Street Medical Centre team since 2016 and became a partner of the practice in 2017. A University of Melbourne graduate, she has built a practice that goes well beyond conventional GP care, bringing together expertise in lifestyle medicine and GP counselling to help patients make meaningful, lasting changes to their health.

As a certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician with the Australian Society of Lifestyle Medicine, Felicity works with patients to optimise the fundamentals that underpin good health — nutrition, physical activity, sleep, social connection and stress management. Her focus is on using these tools to treat and prevent chronic conditions including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and mental health disorders, complementing lifestyle approaches with medication where appropriate.

Felicity is also a qualified GP counsellor, using evidence-based techniques including cognitive behavioural therapy, positive psychology and supportive counselling to help adult patients managing depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders. Medicare-reimbursed counselling is available for eligible patients through a Mental Health Care Plan.

Outside of work, Felicity lives locally with her husband and three young children. She can usually be found in her garden in whatever spare moments she manages to find, and is actively involved in her local church.

Felicity provides lifestyle medicine and counselling consultations at the Woodend Clinic.
