EMcOT is a private occupational therapy practice located in Geelong Australia. We live, laugh, work and play on Wathaurong Land which is part of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
We believe that people are a lot like plants - provide and maintain the right conditions and they will thrive; their differences are what makes them interesting; and diversity is the key to a happy ecosystem.
EMcOT provides mobile and telehealth therapy services to Autistic and ADHD adolescents and young adults alongside their families and other important people in their lives. We also support those who may be newly questioning or exploring their neurodivergence.
We celebrate neurodivergent ways of being and doing and lean-in to your unique strengths when walking alongside you on your therapy journey.
Meet Emma
Hi there! I'm Emma, the director of EMcOT.
​
​I completed my Master of Occupational Therapy at Swinburne University and have worked with children, adolescents and their family's ever since.
​
I have special interests in neuroscience, the power and potential of neuroplasticity and visual-motor processing.
​
If you find yourself looking for me outside of work you will most likely find me quietly tending to my indoor tropical plant collection, talking about my recent learning to anyone that will listen, or walking along the beach with my husband and dogs.
Services
Finding a therapist who is ‘the right fit’ for where you are in your life journey is critical to feeling truly heard, supported and getting the most out of your time together. Before we dive into sessions you will need to complete an intake questionnaire so that we can determine if EMcOT is the right service for you.
All services are provided in the community or via telehealth. EMcOT does not operate out of a designated clinic space. It is important to consider whether this will be suitable for your individual circumstances and therapy needs.

Gross and fine motor skills

PARENT AND STAKEHOLDER COACHING
It takes a village.
Young people rely on the important adults in their lives to support their growth and development. Every person has their own unique support needs and learning to meet and balance these within our environments can be tricky!
EMcOT can support you to support your young person, because even grown-ups need help sometimes.
WORKPLACE CONSULTING
Schools, recreational spaces, workplaces and community spaces can be challenging environments for neurodivergent people to access. EMcOT can support key professional stakeholders to better understand the factors at play for the Autistic and ADHD people they work with and create more accessible spaces and systems that support all people to thrive.
