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 need assistance right away and don't want to go through months of conventional Psychology & EMDR therapy to start feeling 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.

A Focused, Intensive Therapy Approach Could Suit 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).
Our services include standard and intensive EMDR therapy, catering to individuals from Middleton and other locations across South Australia. If you can’t travel, our Online Psychology Services are here to assist you remotely.

About Our Program
We offer several treatment programs to meet individual needs. Our Standard treatment program is the equivalent to approximately 11 sessions in the traditional fortnightly format of therapy which would take approximately 5 months (or more) to complete.
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 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.
