Taz Landale

Taz Landale is an author, educator, youth counselor, and wellness mentor passionate about helping young people navigate the challenges of growing up with confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self.

Taz holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours and is a certified and experienced practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She brings a wealth of professional and personal insight to her writing, drawing on experience counseling vulnerable teenagers, working with street-involved youth, lecturing at college level, and mentoring students in health and wellness.

As a mother of two, a son and a stepdaughter, Taz understands the questions, worries, and challenges that young people face as they grow and discover who they are. Having grown up in a busy household with three brothers and a sister, she also brings a personal understanding of family dynamics, friendships, and the different experiences of boys and girls.

Raised in a Christian household with strong family connections to church ministry, Taz developed an early appreciation for faith, compassion, and the importance of supporting others. This background adds another dimension to her writing as she explores themes of emotional well-being, personal growth, relationships, and faith.

With the heart of a parent and the insight of a counselor, Taz writes with warmth, honesty, and a genuine understanding of the challenges young people don't always feel comfortable talking about. Her books aim to make difficult subjects more approachable, encourage meaningful conversations, and provide practical guidance that young readers can relate to.

Above all, Taz believes that every young person deserves to feel understood, supported, and equipped with the confidence to navigate life's challenges and embrace the person they are becoming.
