All About Us
Based in Brisbane, we provide trauma-informed, recovery-focused, and neuroaffirming occupational therapy. We support individuals aged 17 to 65 living with psychosocial and neurodevelopmental disabilities.
We believe everyone deserves to live a meaningful life that reflects their values and strengths. Using compassionate, evidence-based care, we work alongside you to build confidence and promote independence in ways that matter to you.
At Bloom, our mission is simple: to support growth, celebrate authenticity, and cultivate a genuine sense of belonging.
Meet Emily, Occupational Therapist & Director
Emily is the founder and director of Bloom Occupational Therapy Australia.
She started Bloom with a vision to create a space where people feel safe, welcomed, and empowered to be themselves. Based in Brisbane, Emily is a passionate Occupational Therapist who believes everyone deserves the chance to grow in their own way, at their own pace and to feel a true sense of belonging while doing so.
Emily has experience supporting individuals with psychosocial and intellectual disabilities, along with neurodevelopmental conditions. She brings a calm, grounded presence to her sessions, creating a relaxed environment where people can feel at ease and heard.
Her approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in recovery principles. She draws on evidence-based frameworks, while always centring the unique story, strengths, and aspirations of each person she works with.
Originally from the Sunshine Coast, Emily now calls Brisbane home. When she’s not working, you’ll likely find her walking her golden retriever Remy, enjoying a coffee, or being at the beach.
At Bloom, Emily’s vision is simple: everyone who reaches out should feel seen, supported, and safe to grow into who they truly are.
