What clients are saying

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.

Anger and social communication skills. 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. Reach out now Personal coaching for anger and social communication skills? Organise a free up …

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. Reach out now Help with stress and anxiety? Organise a free up …

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. I would recommend a Mindfulness program for any corporate event.     Reach out now A session on Mindfulness?

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.
