Bloom Psychology & Yoga Therapy
Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you feeling unsatisfied with the conventional structure of therapy? Maybe 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 motivated for change but spending a lot of therapy time talking about the concerns / crises that arise between sessions (which seem important in the short term, but not helping in the long term). This shifts focus away from the treatment objective and ultimately slows 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 currently working regularly with another therapist but need more focused, adjunct intervention.

An Intensive Therapy Approach Could Be Right for 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 Blackwood 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 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 dedicated to providing tools, techniques, and insights to help individuals navigate psychological difficulties and to support them in finding greater peace and wellbeing.
