Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you feeling unsatisfied with the conventional structure of therapy? Maybe because:
- 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 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.

Bloom Psychology & Yoga Therapy
Hello, I’m Sarah. As a clinical psychologist, EMDR therapist, and certified yoga teacher and therapist, I have over 20 years of experience in the field of psychology. I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, settings, and psychological conditions. I hold full membership with the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and The EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).
My practice is focused around EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy, after observing the beneficial impact it offered to many of my clients. I have also undertaken advanced training in a number of psychological modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness and neuropsychological based therapies, which I draw on to support the EMDR approach. I now work exclusively with EMDR Intensive therapy, allowing for maximum focus on addressing the core issues behind your mental health concerns, with less distraction from the ups and downs of daily 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.
