Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you feeling unsatisfied with the conventional structure of therapy? Maybe because:
- You need assistance right away and don't want to go through months of conventional Psychology & EMDR therapy to start feeling better.
- You're committed to change, yet a lot of your therapy time is spent addressing concerns or crises that arise between sessions (which feel important at the moment but aren't supporting long-term improvement). This distracts from the treatment goal and delays progress.
- Your schedule is a poor fit for the therapy schedule. i.e., it's hard to create and keep the time needed to prioritise therapy over a period of months.
- You are already seeing another therapist regularly but require additional, targeted support.

An Intensive Therapy Approach Could Be Right for You
The traditional model of therapy does not serve everyone. That’s why we are excited to announce Bloom EMDR Intensive Therapy treatment programs. These therapeutic programs involve, after a month of extensive client preparation, scheduling long sessions (2 hours) close together (3 per week).
We deliver both standard and intensive EMDR therapy for individuals in Grange and throughout South Australia. For those unable to attend in person, we provide tailored Online Psychology Services.

Details of Our Program
We provide a range of treatment programs tailored to individual needs. Our Standard program equates to around 11 sessions in the typical fortnightly therapy format, which would take about 5 months (or more) to finish.
This intensive method allows us to move through the 8 phases of EMDR therapy and address the core of an issue. It’s a deliberate and efficient use of time, energy, and focus. Research supports its ability to enhance 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 enthusiastic about sharing methods, approaches, and ideas to help people work through mental health struggles and to guide them towards feeling better and more at peace.
