Emma - Occupational Therapist Newcastle

Emma Hynes

She/her
Occupational Therapist
Cessnock, Warners Bay

I graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from Deakin University, Victoria, in 2022. I am passionate about supporting children and adults to build confidence, independence, and meaningful participation in their everyday lives.

I bring a broad range of experience supporting children and adults across NDIS, aged care, and Transport Accident Commission funding pathways. I also have hospital-based experience upon completing a six-month locum contract in a small rural town in Western Australia. While my primary interest lies in paediatiric support, I also enjoy working with young adults to navigate their world and build independence in what’s important to them.

I work from a neuro-affirming and evidence-based approach, meeting each client where they are through play, connection, and family-led therapy. I have a strong focus on ensuring every child and family feels heard, supported, and understood. I also value and understand the importance of working collaboratively with teachers, educators, carers, and other professionals to support individuals to achieve their goals. I am here to be your cheerleader throughout the therapy journey.

At the beach. I love the sun, ocean, and surfing whenever I can. When she’s not in the ocean, she enjoys exploring her creative side through photography, making sourdough and enjoys a competitive game or two.
