About Tatiana Guz Counselling
Her Story
Some people discover their path later in life — Tatiana Guz has been following hers from the very beginning.
As a child, Tatiana observed therapists working with her older brother, who lived with cerebral palsy. Despite being non-verbal, he was able to connect in profound and meaningful ways. This sparked a deep curiosity in Tatiana:
How do we truly understand one another? How do we express what cannot always be said in words?
Those early questions became the foundation of her life’s work.
Tatiana began her professional journey studying a Bachelor's in Speech Pathology, where she worked closely with individuals from diverse backgrounds — including those experiencing neurodivergence, schizophrenia, intellectual disabilities, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.
Through this experience, she came to recognise something essential:
Every person carries a unique inner world — and each deserves to be understood in their own way.
Approach
Therapy that honours your individuality
Tatiana’s approach is grounded in a simple but powerful belief:
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to healing.
Her work is:
- Client-centred — shaped around your needs, pace, and goals
- Trauma-informed — creating safety as the foundation for change
- Bottom-up approach — recognising the role of the nervous system in emotional wellbeing
Rather than focusing only on thoughts or behaviours, Tatiana pays close attention to how experiences are held in the body — helping you build awareness, regulation, and a deeper connection to yourself.
This approach supports lasting change, not just temporary relief.
Professional Journey
Experience shaped by depth, learning, and global perspective
Tatiana’s career has been guided by a commitment to ongoing learning and meaningful connection.
She later completed postgraduate training in Psychodrama (2003), deepening her ability to work in creative, experiential, and embodied ways.
In 2005, she was awarded a scholarship to study at the Yale School of Medicine (Department of Psychiatry) — an experience that expanded both her professional and personal horizons.
In 2010, Tatiana moved to Australia, where she has since built her life and practice in Brisbane.
Continuing to expand her approach, she completed a postgraduate qualification in Creative Arts Psychotherapy (2016), integrating expressive and body-based methods into her work.
Today, with over 25 years of experience, Tatiana offers counselling that is deeply informed, flexible, and tailored to each individual.
