Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you unhappy with the usual method of therapy? It could be 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 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 schedule clashes with the traditional therapy timeline, making it hard to commit the time needed to focus on therapy over an extended period.
- You are working with another therapist on a regular basis but need a more focused, complementary approach.

Our services include standard and intensive EMDR therapy, catering to individuals from Chiton 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
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 dedicated to providing tools, techniques, and insights to help individuals navigate psychological difficulties and to support them in finding greater peace and wellbeing.
