Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you unhappy with the usual method of therapy? It could be because:
- You require support now and don't want to wait for months in the standard Psychology & EMDR therapy approach 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 working with another therapist on a regular basis but need a more focused, complementary approach.

You May Benefit from a More Intensive Therapy Approach
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).
We offer both standard and intensive EMDR therapy to individuals from Encounter Bay and other locations across South Australia. For those unable to visit in person, our dedicated Online Psychology Services are available to support you.

Bloom Psychology & Yoga Therapy
Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a clinical psychologist and EMDR therapist, also a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist. I bring over 20 years of experience in psychology, having worked with numerous clients, in different settings, and across various psychological conditions. I’m a full member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and The EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).
My practice is built around EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy, after recognising the positive impact it has had on many of my clients. In addition, I have completed advanced training in psychological techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and neuropsychological-based therapies, which enhance my EMDR approach. I now focus solely on EMDR Intensive therapy, allowing us to concentrate on the core issues of your mental health, without the interference of daily life’s fluctuations.
I am enthusiastic about sharing methods, approaches, and ideas to help people work through mental health struggles and to guide them towards feeling better and more at peace.
