Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you dissatisfied with the traditional format of therapy? Perhaps because:
- You are needing help right now and you don't want to spend months in the traditional model of Psychology & EMDR therapy to feel better.
- You are driven to make changes, but much of your therapy time is focused on crises or concerns that emerge between sessions (which seem significant in the short term but aren't aiding long-term progress). This diverts attention from the treatment objective and hinders progress.
- Your routine doesn't match up with the therapy schedule, making it challenging to set aside and maintain the time necessary to focus on therapy over several months.
- You are already seeing another therapist regularly but require additional, targeted support.

Our services include standard and intensive EMDR therapy, catering to individuals from Aldinga and other locations across South Australia. If you can’t travel, our Online Psychology Services are here to assist you remotely.

Bloom Psychology & Yoga Therapy
Hello, I’m Sarah. As a clinical psychologist, EMDR therapist, and certified yoga teacher and therapist, I have over 20 years of experience in the field of psychology. I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, settings, and psychological conditions. I hold full membership with the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and The EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).
I focus my practice around EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy, after witnessing its positive effects on many of my clients. I’ve also pursued advanced training in various psychological methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and neuropsychological-based therapies, which complement my EMDR work. Currently, I exclusively practise EMDR Intensive therapy to prioritise addressing the underlying issues of your mental health, without the usual distractions of day-to-day life.
I am committed to offering tools, strategies, and concepts that assist people in overcoming psychological challenges and help them feel more at ease in their lives.
