Tanya CurtisBehaviour specialist and counsellor
Tanya Curtis brings a simple, practical and very effective approach to behaviour change. Tanya’s approach is based on supporting people to develop concrete, successful skills to respond to the day-to-day challenges of life, while simultaneously valuing each person for the amazing and loveable being they innately are. Many people describe Tanya’s work to be completely life changing’. She supports people of all ages – children, teenagers and adults – anyone using any behaviour they would prefer not to be using… now that is all of us! Tanya supports her clients to understand the reasons behind their unwanted behaviours, and then to develop the tools and life skills to be free to make different choices in the future and live to their full potential.

Tanya is unwavering in knowing that judgment and understanding cannot exist together and thus no matter what the behaviour looks like it will never be judged, rather approached from a perspective of “I wonder why this behaviour is happening?” …. “I wonder what is being communicated here”?
