Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you dissatisfied with the traditional format of therapy? Perhaps because:
- You require support now and don't want to wait for months in the standard Psychology & EMDR therapy approach to feel better.
- You're committed to change, yet a lot of your therapy time is spent addressing concerns or crises that arise between sessions (which feel important at the moment but aren't supporting long-term improvement). This distracts from the treatment goal and delays 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're currently in regular therapy with someone else but feel the need for more concentrated, supplementary intervention.

An Intensive Therapy Approach Could Be Right for You

We deliver both standard and intensive EMDR therapy for individuals in Fleurieu Peninsula and throughout South Australia. For those unable to attend in person, we provide tailored Online Psychology Services.

Bloom Psychology & Yoga Therapy
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).
My practice centres on EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy, having seen the positive results it provided for many of my clients. I’ve also completed advanced training in several psychological approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and neuropsychological therapies, which I integrate alongside the EMDR process. I now work solely with EMDR Intensive therapy to ensure we can focus fully on addressing the root causes of your mental health concerns, with fewer distractions from everyday 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.
