Jesse Lawther, MPS, RPQ

I have a special interest in relationships; understanding how we come to relate with ourselves and one another, and the ways this connects with our unique world-views, beliefs, and life’s meaning. Together we will co-create our therapeutic relationship, valuing authenticity and creativity. And in the therapy room we might explore grief and bereavement, life transitions, queerness, anxiety, depression, and understanding emotions and identity. My style starts with a trauma-informed approach, and I draw on a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of each person. This includes aspects from narrative therapy, internal family systems, emotion-focused therapy, and cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe we must shape the therapeutic space to respect and center your unique lived experience. I also offer a spiritually-integrated psychotherapy approach, combining existential and logotherapies to help you examine the sources of your identity, how you make meaning, connections to the world around you, and your hopes. Through our sessions, I aim to craft these explorations into practical tools that you can use to empower yourself and achieve growth and healing.
