Adrian’s teaching begins.

In 2010, Adrian developed an 8-week mindfulness meditation course focusing on emotional regulation and challenging irrational beliefs. The course ran for five years across Sydney and interstate. He also led a government mindfulness program that supported over 500 participants with stress management, highlighting the need for individualized attention.

More learning undertaken.

Adrian earned a Diploma in Counselling (CHC51015) and began helping clients with anger and stress management. Seeing widespread issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship problems, he adapted his business to better support people facing these challenges.

More study to help more.

Although many of Adrian’s clients experienced lasting changes after approximately four sessions, some continued to revert to previous behaviours. Seeking a method to address the unconscious mind, he studied Neuro Linguistic Programming, Matrix Therapy, and Hypnotherapy, achieving the level of Master Practitioner.

Take the next step

“By helping people manage stress and change their beliefs, we can reduce emotional problems like anger, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and relationship issues.”

Adrian’s Approach to Counselling

Adrian is an empathetic counsellor and results coach dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve happiness.

Adrian provides confidential and professional services aimed at addressing present concerns by modifying beliefs and behaviours rather than focusing on past experiences. The methods Adrian employs include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Matrix Therapy, Logo Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming.

Real solutions for real people.

“I have observed that in past sessions with psychologists or counsellors, I often left feeling that I was the one who came up with suggestions for addressing my concerns. It seemed that no advice was offered. Additionally, many clients have shared similar experiences.”

It is true that mental health practitioners are trained not to offer solutions but to help clients find their own answers. But unfortunately, many clients miss the subtle nudges from the practitioner.

Do your homework

Adrian provides his clients with a structured action plan and a detailed list of tasks after each session. He consistently monitors their progress between appointments to support their ongoing commitment to achieving their objectives.

What our clients say

I was charged with common assault a few months back. A good friend suggested that I should get help and see a counselor. I found Adrian Spear and I went to see him. At that stage I didn’t realize how much stressed I was going through with work (working 12 hrs a day), family issues, Covid and problems with a neighbour who I pushed and he pressed charges. Adrian helped me so much and I realize how stressed I was to react the way I did. His help and advice to get better sleep and focus on the positive things …

Thank you and God bless Adrian, for your wonderful mindful meditation sessions. As they came in handy during labour with my 4th child, who was born posterior. I was able have a natural birth and thus completely avoiding a C-section, due to the training I received.

I feel centred and empowered after several sessions of talking with Adrian. He has a very practical approach and the techniques he employs are deceptively simple. He teaches some basic meditation practices to help you step back from the situation and connect with your body. He helps you to understand how your narratives and expectations can be contributing to the negative emotions that overpower you. He encourages you and gives you tools to take responsibility for your life. My relationships have improved and the problems I had sleeping are almost completely gone. My life feels much more optimistic, and I …

When I reached out to Adrian I was in need of some assistance with managing stress and anxiety levels related to work. Adrian worked with me to incorporate new techniques to assist with understanding and controlling my feelings and also working on ways to be responsive rather than reactive to difficult situations that arise. I would highly recommend working with Adrian if you need some assistance or guidance with day to day life.

Had a session with Adrian to learn relaxation techniques to help with sleeping issues. The technique is simple but works really well. Adrian also suggested daily affirmations which help to lift up my spirit. Thanks Adrian!

Adrian has changed the way I think and behave on a daily basis. He has been patient in listening to and understanding problems I’ve had not just with anger & frustration but with communication and socialisation with others. Empathising with how I feel in these situations and offering different solutions or tools I can use to help me navigate my relationships with friends, family and colleagues. Even if you just want someone to talk to, I would highly recommend Adrian.

Adrian’s meditation and mindfulness techniques are very effective if your goal is to become the better version of yourself. Since I started practising the mindfulness techniques that Adrian taught, I realised there is plenty of space in our mind that are otherwise occupied with random thoughts. The techniques would definitely help one become more mindful and conscious even while performing their day to day activities. It is like you start doing everything with a purpose! I strongly recommend Adrian if you are looking to develop your inner self.

I have had an ongoing health issue that I have not been able to shift. Being a yoga teacher, I knew that I needed to tap into the power of the mind to help heal my body. Adrian designed a specific meditation practice using a variety of techniques to help with my health issue which I now practice daily. Although I am not back to 100% health yet I am already starting to see a change in the way I feel, both mentally & physically. Thank you Adrian.

We were fortunate to have Adrian lead a session on Mindfulness at one of our Lunch’n’Learns. I was amazed at the benefit that I, and others, received from the relaxation, breathing and concentration exercises that Adrian led us through. I can happily report some immediate physical and mental benefits following the session and would recommend a Mindfulness program for any corporate event.

Adrian is a fantastic Mindfulness and Meditation teacher. I have always been impressed with the depth of his knowledge, not only when it comes to mindfulness and meditation but also life coaching. He has changed the lives of many people that I know and he continues to be a positive force for good in the Mindfulness field.

Adrian teaches powerful meditation techniques that can be easily implemented amongst the responsibilities and challenges we all face today. These techniques can help anyone substantially improve their concentration and emotional intelligence, which can extend to better personal and professional relationships and enhanced work-related productivity. Another key benefit of these techniques is stress reduction, which can help to prevent and remedy psychological and physiological diseases and greatly enhance one’s sense of well-being. I recommend Adrian’s courses highly.

The sessions Adrian delivers are excellent. The tools he provides in verbal and written form, are excellent aids in learning to identify and manage all the various ways and forms that stress and anxiety impact upon one self. The lessons of how to manage the, Stop, Identify, and Determine – the form of self management are invaluable aids. That which you can bring in to use when these matters arise.
