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 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're currently in regular therapy with someone else but feel the need for more concentrated, supplementary intervention.

Our services include standard and intensive EMDR therapy, catering to individuals from Clapham and other locations across South Australia. If you can’t travel, our Online Psychology Services are here to assist you remotely.

About Our Program
We offer several treatment programs to meet individual needs. Our Standard treatment program is the equivalent to approximately 11 sessions in the traditional fortnightly format of therapy which would take approximately 5 months (or more) to complete.
This focused approach allows us to follow the 8 phases of EMDR therapy and target the root cause of the problem. It’s designed to be efficient with time, energy, and progress. Research also indicates that it improves 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).
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 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.
