Robbie Spence

Robbie Spence is a PACFA registered clinical counsellor with 15 years of experience based in Australia. He works with people managing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, career doubts, life changes and compassion fatigue. Robbie also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems, workplace concerns and questions about life purpose.

He describes counselling as a way to sort out what matters and find direction when life feels uncertain. Sessions are one‑on‑one and conversational. Robbie helps people talk through thoughts, emotions and recurring patterns and develop clearer self‑awareness and practical strategies for day‑to‑day living.

Robbie trained at the University of Southern Queensland and holds a master’s degree in Guidance and Counselling. His studies included career development, psychological therapies and expressive approaches that he draws on in session. He frames clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them rather than directing outcomes.

In practice he blends practical career guidance with personal counselling. That can mean looking at workplace difficulties, planning next steps in work, or coping with a major life change. Sessions often involve reflecting on behaviour patterns and trying small, manageable adjustments between meetings.

People meet him for steady, consistent support while they test out ideas and decide on next steps. He aims to help people build clearer priorities and stronger confidence to make choices about work and life going forward.

How Client‑Centred Therapy works online

Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It relies on open listening, reflecting what the client brings, and supporting their own sense making. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship patterns and decisions about work or life direction because it keeps the client’s goals at the centre.

Robbie combines client‑centred work with career guidance and expressive elements from his training. That means sessions can move between practical planning and reflective conversation, depending on what the person needs. Deciding which mix fits best is part of the early work, done together with the client.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check‑ins when needed. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Robbie aims to match the style and pace of sessions to everyday life and the client’s goals, working collaboratively to find an approach that fits.
