Lee is a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor who is passionate about cultural repair through building a culture of connection in families. His simple and powerful techniques are focused on helping all of us to become more fully human, one interaction and one family at a time. Lee developed Rapport Based Relating as an answer to the traditional ‘shout and shame’ he saw in institutions working with children. His model breaks down the barriers for parents and teachers to have meaningful relationships with kids. Before training as a psychotherapist and counsellor, Lee taught bushcraft and 'coyote mentoring' on youth camps. He has been using Jon Young's coyote mentoring approach for over a decade, and began learning and teaching bushcraft as a teenager at the Forest School Camps in the UK. He studied Indigenous survival skills at Tom Brown Jr's Tracker School and Practical Primitive, both in the US. He then spent a year living in the bush, finding shelter, water and food on the landscape, putting it into practice. More than that, he found a radically new experience of what it means to be human. Now he brings psychology and bushcraft together for rewilding, helping people of all ages to reawaken their wildness and deepen their connection with the natural world. Using powerful tools from wisdom traditions all over the world, Lee Trew and Gina Chick run workshops, retreats and wilderness camps to guide people of all ages into the truth of their own body and heart. They also run the ReWild Tribe and ReWild Your Child family and kids programs, which takes families into the bush to open them up to their wild natures. Lee is an inspirational speaker, storyteller and spiritual traveller, with a talent for distilling complicated concepts down to their essence, making them easy to understand and digest. He has featured in ABC's Life at 9 documentary, as a speaker on rewilding at the Ultimate Health Event in Sydney, as an instructor for Claire Dunn during the period she wrote about in her book ‘My Year Without Matches’, and was the bushcraft and trapping consultant for the Australian film ‘The Hunter’. Specialising in the craft of parenting, relationships and personal transformation, Lee’s psychotherapy and counselling sessions are held online from the comfort of your own space. Lee looks forward to sharing with you a multitude of practical techniques so you can experience deep healing of all that stands in the way of truly knowing yourself, and living in the joy of your own wild heart.
