Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you unhappy with the usual method of therapy? It could be because:
- You need assistance right away and don't want to go through months of conventional Psychology & EMDR therapy to start feeling better.
- You're eager for change but find yourself using much of your therapy time discussing issues or crises that come up between sessions (which seem urgent at the time but aren't helping in the long run). This takes focus off the treatment goals and slows down progress.
- Your schedule is a poor fit for the therapy schedule. i.e., it's hard to create and keep the time needed to prioritise therapy over a period of months.
- You are working with another therapist on a regular basis but need a more focused, complementary approach.

A More Intensive Approach to Therapy Might Be for You
Not everyone finds the traditional method of therapy beneficial. This is why we’re proud to offer Bloom EMDR Intensive Therapy treatment programs. These programs focus on a month of comprehensive client preparation and then involve long sessions (2 hours) scheduled close together (3 per week).
Our services include standard and intensive EMDR therapy, catering to individuals from Eastwood and other locations across South Australia. If you can’t travel, our Online Psychology Services are here to assist you remotely.

Our Program
We offer several treatment programs to meet individual needs. Our Standard treatment program is the equivalent to approximately 11 sessions in the traditional fortnightly format of therapy which would take approximately 5 months (or more) to complete.
In this intensive approach we have an opportunity to work through the 8 phases of EMDR therapy and target the root of an issue. This approach is intentional and efficient in terms of time, energy and progress. Research also supports that it is effective in improving wellbeing*.

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a clinical psychologist, EMDR therapist and a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist. My extensive experience in the field of psychology has been cultivated over 20 years of practice in the field, working across many different settings, clients and psychological conditions. I am a full member of 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.
