Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you unhappy with the usual method of therapy? It could be because:
- You're looking for help immediately and don't want to spend months following the traditional Psychology & EMDR therapy model to improve.
- 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 schedule clashes with the traditional therapy timeline, making it hard to commit the time needed to focus on therapy over an extended period.
- You're currently in regular therapy with someone else but feel the need for more concentrated, supplementary intervention.

You May Benefit from a More Intensive Therapy Approach
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).

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 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 and EMDR therapist, also a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist. I bring over 20 years of experience in psychology, having worked with numerous clients, in different settings, and across various 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.
