About Robbie
Robbie Spence helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, workplace strain and the uncertainty that comes with life changes. He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and those seeking clearer direction in their career or life purpose. Robbie uses a calm, respectful style and focuses on each person’s experience and priorities.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Robbie listens first to understand what matters to the client. Together they map out small, achievable steps and ways to build on strengths.
How Robbie works
The aim is practical change that fits daily life, not quick fixes or jargon. Robbie draws on 15 years of experience and a master’s degree in Guidance and Counselling from the University of Southern Queensland. He has also studied career development, psychological therapies and expressive approaches to broaden how he can support clients.
He is registered with PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. He often works with people experiencing attachment concerns, communication difficulties, impulsivity or who are exploring forgiveness and relationship patterns. Robbie also supports clients on the autism spectrum, including Asperger Syndrome, when these issues affect wellbeing and functioning.
Robbie offers a steady, non-judgemental presence and tailors sessions to each person’s pace. He aims to help people gain clarity, build practical coping skills and find more satisfying ways to move forward in work and life.

Online support options
Client-centred care and online flexibility
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective. The therapist listens without judgement and reflects what matters to the client, helping them clarify values, feelings and goals. This approach suits people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns and life transitions where personal meaning matters.Robbie treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. He will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting the pace and techniques as the relationship develops. The aim is to find a way of working that feels respectful and useful to each person.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when distance or time make in-person sessions difficult. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking, have busy schedules, or want more flexible ways to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular counselling into daily life and to continue work without lengthy travel.
