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're looking for help immediately and don't want to spend months following the traditional Psychology & EMDR therapy model to improve.
- 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 timetable doesn't align well with the typical therapy schedule. It's difficult to find and maintain the time required to prioritise therapy for months on end.
- You are already seeing another therapist regularly but require additional, targeted support.

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).
We offer both standard and intensive EMDR therapy to individuals from Hayborough and other locations across South Australia. For those unable to visit in person, our dedicated Online Psychology Services are available to support you.

Our Program
We provide a range of treatment programs tailored to individual needs. Our Standard program equates to around 11 sessions in the typical fortnightly therapy format, which would take about 5 months (or more) to finish.
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*.

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).
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 passionate about sharing tools, techniques and concepts to help people work through psychological challenges and to support them in feeling better and more at peace in their lives.
