Workplace Wellness

In today’s fast-paced and ever changing world, prioritizing mental health and fostering a supportive environment in the workplace is really important. In a workplace that is safe, and people feel seen, heard and validated, they are more likely to thrive. I can tailor talks and workshops to your organization to enhance employee well-being and foster a health, inclusive workplace culture. Potential topics that can be addressed are, burnout, navigating imposterism, cultivating authentic leadership, embracing body diversity, and improving communication while addressing microaggressions. Let’s work together to create a workplace where everyone can thrive.


Supervision & Consultation

I have been providing supervision for over 15 years, supervised a number of supervisors and completed training in Advanced Clinical Supervision through the University of Calgary. Furthermore, I integrate ACT processes to help you move towards being the therapist or supervisor you want to be. If you have any questions, or want to set up a time for supervision or supervision of supervision email me at drsarahpegrum@outlook.com .

Individual or Group Supervision/Consultation

Supervision can be integral to continuing education. The supervision I provide tends to have two main focuses. The first is helping you explore application ACT and other contextual behavioural science based interventions into your work with clients. The second is exploring apply ACT to yourself as a clinician. Who do you want to be as a therapist? What hooks you and gets in the way of being that.

Supervision of Supervision

For a long time we weren’t taught about supervision, and it was something that the more senior clinicians provided and they often would base it on the supervision they had received. If you are looking at providing supervision to other therapists but not sure where or how to start or if you are wanting to refine your supervision skills, why not reach out for some supervision of supervision?

ACT and Body Image and Eating Disorders

Do you work with people who struggle with body image, disordered eating or eating disorders? The ACT for body image or eating disorder training can be tailored to your knowledge and skill level. The focus of the training involves identifying how and when your client’s behavioural repertoire narrows, and exploring ways to broaden their repertoire so they don’t feel like their only option is to engage in eating disorder or other behaviours that pull them from their values.

General Training

Body Diversity Training: Weight Stigma

We live in a diverse world. While there is increased discussion on diversity in general, diversity of body is often omitted or overlooked. In Body Diversity Training: Weight Stigma we explore how weight stigma, bias and discrimination came to be, and it’s impact. The aim is to build awareness of our biases, and learn ways to disentangle from them so we can be the professionals we seek to be, and provide the best services we can for our clients regardless of their shape or size. This is a training is intended not only for therapists, but also physicians, teachers, personal trainers, or business.
