Bloom EMDR Intensives ARe Now Available
Are you feeling unsatisfied with the conventional structure of therapy? Maybe because:
- You are needing help right now and you don't want to spend months in the traditional model of Psychology & EMDR therapy to feel 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 clashes with the traditional therapy timeline, making it hard to commit the time needed to focus on therapy over an extended period.
- You are currently working regularly with another therapist but need more focused, adjunct intervention.

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 is built around EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy, after recognising the positive impact it has had on many of my clients. In addition, I have completed advanced training in psychological techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and neuropsychological-based therapies, which enhance my EMDR approach. I now focus solely on EMDR Intensive therapy, allowing us to concentrate on the core issues of your mental health, without the interference of daily life’s fluctuations.
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.
