Tanya Curtis

Behaviour Specialist and Counsellor
NDIS approved provider
 
Tanya has been working as a behaviour specialist and counsellor since 2002. 
All along, Tanya has had a love of studying and experiencing human behaviour, knowing that behaviour is merely a form of communication telling us how a person experiences life. And therefore she knows that behaviour must never be judged; rather, it must be understood.
 
Tanya embraces the study of behaviour as a science, knowing without any doubt that all and every behaviour happens for a reason and communicates to others how equipped a person feels to respond to what life is presenting to them at any given moment. With her undeniable passion and dedication to applying herself to forever deepening her understanding of human behaviour, Tanya brings her wisdom and expertise to supporting all people to bring lasting change to their own behaviour(s), while equally supporting people to develop the skills to understand and support lasting behaviour change in others.
 
Tanya knows that it is her role to make her job redundant, thus imparts her understanding of behaviour willingly and unreservedly for all others to embrace in their own lives as they so choose to. Tanya brings a simple, practical, down-to-earth and very effective approach to understanding and offering lasting behaviour change for all.
 
Many people describe Tanya’s work to be completely life changing. She supports people of all ages – children, teenagers and adults … in fact, she offers support to anyone using any behaviour they would prefer not to be using … and that is all of us!

Client testimonials:

Tanya Curtis has skilled my family and I with the truth of life. She has taken me on a self exploring journey full of aha moments that have empowered me to continue to work through my past and fulfill a truer universal future. We are the ones responsible for the ripples we make and we cannot control the actions of others. But most of all – we are not our behaviour and we are all “beauty-full”.
 
~ Laurel, Gold Coast
 
Tanya Curtis is a change agent who supports people to truly know and care for themselves and others. Thanks to working with her in both private and group situations, I have come to understand myself and others more and why we behave the way we do. Tanya has an amazing ability to cut through waffle and confusion to the heart of dysfunction in all its many forms of thoughts and behaviours. The greatest prison of all is the one we make inside ourselves and Tanya Curtis is someone who supports prisoners of anxiety, anger, depression, autism, perfectionism, exhaustion, destructive relationships and family conflict to name a few, to learn the skills to set themselves free. My life is all the richer and I am all the freer from being a client of Tanya Curtis. She is an enormously qualified practitioner, presenter and author who walks her talk with compassion, wisdom, humour and absolute integrity. 
 
~ Adrienne, Brisbane
As a client of Tanya’s, I have found her to be warm and engaging with enormous integrity and with a deep level of consistency. It’s lovely to be around Tanya and to feel how she has a love of everyone and holds each person as an equal. Tanya has been a great support for me personally in enabling me to deal with issues with a simplicity that’s very refreshing. She is unwavering in her commitment and ability to bring truth to any situation.
