About Pollen+

Pollen+ provides thoughtful, individualised occupational therapy for children and adolescents.

We support children who may be finding everyday life more difficult than expected — including challenges with emotional regulation, attention, independence, school participation, and functional skills. Many of the children we see have complex or evolving needs, or do not neatly fit a diagnostic category.

Our approach is calm, practical, and grounded in understanding the whole child — not just what is seen on the surface. We work closely with families, schools, and other professionals to support meaningful, lasting change in real-world environments.

SPACER

Occupational Therapist | Founder, Pollen+

Emma is a highly experienced paediatric Occupational Therapist with over 25 years of clinical practice across public and private settings in Perth and the United Kingdom.

She works with children and adolescents whose needs are often complex, nuanced, or not easily explained — including challenges with emotional regulation, attention, executive functioning, and school participation. Emma is frequently sought out for her ability to bring clarity to these presentations and to support children who do not neatly fit standard pathways.

Her approach is calm, considered, and grounded in deep clinical reasoning. Emma looks beyond surface behaviours to understand what is driving a child’s difficulties, and develops practical, individualised strategies that translate into everyday life — at home, at school, and in the community. She works collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure support is consistent, realistic, and meaningful.

Alongside her clinical experience, Emma brings lived experience of neurodivergence and hypermobility, both personally and as a parent. This informs a deeply empathetic and practical approach, while remaining grounded in clinical expertise.

Emma holds a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from Curtin University and has worked extensively in paediatric and specialist hospital settings, including Princess Margaret Hospital. She is an Accredited Hand Therapist and a Circle of Security Facilitator, with additional training in attachment, emotional regulation, and neurodivergent-affirming approaches.

Services are available in clinic, school, home, and via telehealth.

A thoughtful, individualised approach.

At Pollen+, therapy is not one-size-fits-all.

We take the time to understand what is driving a child’s difficulties — not just what it looks like on the surface. This allows us to provide support that is targeted, practical, and meaningful in everyday life.

Our work is grounded in clinical experience, evidence-based practice, and a strong understanding of the environments children move through — including home, school, and community.

We work closely with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure therapy is consistent, achievable, and focused on what matters most.
