Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Do you feel that the traditional way of therapy doesn’t meet your needs? Perhaps it’s due to:
- 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'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 clashes with the traditional therapy timeline, making it hard to commit the time needed to focus on therapy over an extended period.
- You're currently in regular therapy with someone else but feel the need for more concentrated, supplementary intervention.

A Focused, Intensive Therapy Approach Could Suit You
The traditional approach to therapy doesn’t work for all individuals. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Bloom EMDR Intensive Therapy programs. These programs include a month of thorough client preparation followed by scheduling extended sessions (2 hours) close together (3 per week).
Our services include standard and intensive EMDR therapy, catering to individuals from Grange 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
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 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.
