Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you dissatisfied with the traditional format of therapy? Perhaps 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 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 are already seeing another therapist regularly but require additional, targeted support.

A More Intensive Approach to Therapy Might Be for You
The traditional approach to therapy doesn’t work for all individuals. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Bloom EMDR Intensive Therapy programs. These programs include a month of thorough client preparation followed by scheduling extended sessions (2 hours) close together (3 per week).

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.
With this intensive strategy, we can work through the 8 phases of EMDR therapy and directly address the underlying issue. This method is purposeful and efficient in terms of time, effort, and progress. Research supports its ability to improve wellbeing*.

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 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.
