Her story

Justine Lette didn't come to hypnotherapy as a curiosity — she came to it as a conviction. After seeing firsthand how profoundly the unconscious mind shapes behaviour, health, and identity, she committed herself to becoming one of the most comprehensively trained practitioners in the Southern Hemisphere.

Today she is the Head of Hypnosis New Zealand — a governing professional body for clinical hypnotherapy — and the founder of the Hypnotherapy Training Institute, which trains and certifies the next generation of hypnotherapists across New Zealand. When other hypnotherapists want to deepen their practice, they come to Justine.

"Most people arrive already hypnotised — by their own story, their own limitations, their own version of who they are. My work is to gently show them that story can be rewritten."

What sets Justine apart is not just the breadth of her training — though it is extraordinary — but the depth of her understanding of why change actually happens. She has trained across disciplines that most practitioners never touch: Amen Clinic brain health science, Heartmath™ nervous system regulation, EMDR, Memory Reconsolidation, gut-brain hypnotherapy, and medical hypnosis. Each shapes how she approaches every single client.

She created the Golden Thread Trauma Transformation Protocol — a proprietary approach to trauma processing that has since been adopted by hypnotherapists internationally. Its defining feature is that clients never have to relive, retell, or re-experience traumatic events. The unconscious mind can process and release what happened without the conscious mind having to go through it again.

Her practice, Thoughtworx Hypnotherapy, is entirely online — delivered via Zoom to clients in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and beyond. This is not a compromise. The research, and Justine's own extensive clinical experience, consistently shows that clients achieve the same or better results working from the safety of their own environment.

She works with a small number of clients at any given time. That deliberate limitation isn't commercial — it's clinical. Justine believes the quality of presence a hypnotherapist brings to a session is everything. She does not offer volume. She offers depth.
