About me: Lette Jewell
Registered Hypnotherapist; Somatic Transformation and Polyvagal Qualified Therapist ® and registered Psychotherapist within Australia.
Kia ora, I’m Lette, a psychotherapist, counsellor, and registered hypnotherapist. I bring with me the wisdom of my Indigenous Māori (Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Maniapoto) and European (Greek) heritage, as well as kinship ties to Dharug and Kamilaroi peoples through my wife.
I am Takatāpui (Two-Spirited, LGBTIQA+ person).
I am passionate about creating inclusive, affirming, and culturally safe spaces. My practice is grounded in indigenous & Māori cultural worldview values, trauma-informed care, and a deep trust in the body’s natural ability to heal.
I walk alongside people through pain, uncertainty, and transition — and also through joy, growth, and transformation.
I understand what it means to carry wounds, secrets, and intergenerational trauma, and I know healing is not about erasing the past but learning to live more fully and freely. This belief shapes the way I hold space: with deep listening, respect, and an openness to all parts of your story.

Anxiety, depression, and attachment challenges

Chronic stress, somatic symptoms, and nervous system regulation
Cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and decolonial healing
Spiritual growth, meaning-making, and purpose
My Approach
Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I combine psychotherapy, somatic awareness, spirituality, and Indigenous knowledge to support people in reconnecting with themselves, their communities, and their sense of purpose.
I focus on the body–mind connection — the ways our bodies carry stories of joy, fear, grief, and resilience. By gently exploring how pain and trauma live in the body, new pathways for healing and self-compassion can emerge.
Clients often describe my approach as:
Safe and affirming — where your identity, culture, and lived experience are respected and celebrated.
Collaborative and gentle — working alongside you rather than directing or fixing.
Transformational — helping you find new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world.
My Pathway
For over 30 years, I’ve sought out ways of healing that go beyond Western medical models. My journey has included Indigenous healing practices, women’s spirituality retreats, sweat lodges, psychedelic integration, meditation, yoga, qi gong, and somatic therapies.
Alongside this, I’ve worked in human resources and community settings before opening my psychotherapy practice more than 10 years ago. I’ve since trained in psychotherapy, counselling, somatic transformation, hypnotherapy, art therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, and I continue to learn from Indigenous elders and knowledge keepers.
This blend of lived experience, professional training, and cultural wisdom deeply shapes my therapeutic presence.

Chantal - She/Her.
I’m a proud Dharug & Kamilaroi Woman.
She is the person for everyone within the practice; she is both a supportive business owner and a proud Aboriginal descendant - her grandmother came from a generation of being hidden from inspectors of homes during the White Australian policy, with her grandmother and her sisters being hidden under the floorboards during those times to fight to keep the family together.
That’s why there are intergenerational impacts of colonisation, including cultural loss, identity disconnection, and the lifelong journey of reclamation.
As the practice manager and wife of Lette for over 22 years, and mum to two fur babies, they have been in a relationship during times when they were spat on in the streets for attending rallies and community events, heading out to clubs, supporting friends, or holding hands. Throughout their generations, they were constantly hiding parts of themselves to stay safe, and this need persists today. That is why she stands up for the rights of all people and her community.
