Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Do you feel that the traditional way of therapy doesn’t meet your needs? Perhaps it’s due to:
- 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 currently working regularly with another therapist but need more focused, adjunct intervention.

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 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.
