Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you dissatisfied with the traditional format of therapy? Perhaps 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 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
Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a clinical psychologist, EMDR therapist, as well as a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist. With over 20 years of experience in psychology, I’ve worked in various settings with diverse clients and psychological conditions. I’m 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.
