Are you looking for an accelerated form of psychology and EMDR therapy?

Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you feeling unsatisfied with the conventional structure of therapy? Maybe because:
- You're looking for help immediately and don't want to spend months following the traditional Psychology & EMDR therapy model to improve.
- You're eager for change but find yourself using much of your therapy time discussing issues or crises that come up between sessions (which seem urgent at the time but aren't helping in the long run). This takes focus off the treatment goals and slows down 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 are already seeing another therapist regularly but require additional, targeted support.

You May Benefit from a More Intensive Therapy Approach
Not everyone finds the traditional method of therapy beneficial. This is why we’re proud to offer Bloom EMDR Intensive Therapy treatment programs. These programs focus on a month of comprehensive client preparation and then involve long sessions (2 hours) scheduled close together (3 per week).
We offer both standard and intensive EMDR therapy to individuals from Hyde Park and other locations across South Australia. For those unable to visit in person, our dedicated Online Psychology Services are available to support you.

We offer multiple treatment options to suit individual needs. The Standard program is comparable to roughly 11 sessions in the traditional therapy model, usually spread over 5 months or more.

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).
I focus my practice around EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy, after witnessing its positive effects on many of my clients. I’ve also pursued advanced training in various psychological methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and neuropsychological-based therapies, which complement my EMDR work. Currently, I exclusively practise EMDR Intensive therapy to prioritise addressing the underlying issues of your mental health, without the usual distractions of day-to-day 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.
