Fiona Spence Life Coach and Confidence Specialist

Fiona really helped me clarify what I needed to action my goals. She is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. I recommend Fiona to assist you with what you want to achieve.

Before I met Fiona I felt my husband and I were not communicating well and constantly arguing over silly things. I felt unhappy and a little overwhelmed with life in general.
During my time with Fiona, she was able help me see the changes I needed to make for better communication and to see that how I reacted to other people affected the way they reacted to me.
Since then I have been able to look at life differently and feel ok saying ‘no’ to people when appropriate and to not feel guilty about it. I communicate better and am on a journey of learning to be more mindful. Talking with Fiona was exactly what I needed. More...

Fiona Spence is incredible. She is so easy to talk to, really listens to me and helps me find solutions for things that are in front of me that I often don’t even realise are holding me back.

Before I started my coaching program with Fiona my mind was all over the place. I had no routine and no motivation. I couldn't sleep because my brain was running at 100 miles per hour. I remember how I would drive my wife mad because I would get distracted all the time.

During my early sessions with Fiona she helped me build my focus and motivation. I was amazed how quickly I started feeling my old happy self again. Fiona helped me learn that there's a solution to any problem when you look at it differently and you can turn bad thing into good things. And it turns out that being calm, chilled and relaxed isn't hard!

I now have so much more clarity and my confidence and self-esteem continues to grow. Fiona says I am incredibly creative and thanks to her encouragement and support I'm achieving and getting to where I want to be at. She hasn't just helped me with the mental things but she is a business whizz and is helping me to grow my business too.

Fiona talking to you has made me feel so much better. I can let go of things, I can control my actions, I love my coaching sessions, speaking with you is so uplifting. Thank you.

Fiona was extremely helpful and insightful in getting me to find the answers from within. No right or wrong. No judging. Creating an atmosphere for open dialogue which fostered an in depth inspection of my life and where I was going or wanted to go.
Best investment ever made ! More...

Before I engaged Fiona as a coach, I had completed several years in university management, and was planning to return to teaching and research via a planned overseas sabbatical (in a non-covid 2020) to revitalize and building new teaching and research programs. I also was becoming an empty nester with kids (and ex-wife) leaving the family home, so I thought a break from the normal work life on sabbatical would be refreshing personally. Covid came of course and the sabbatical opportunity went. We all knuckled down at university in 2020-21, but I was feeling burnt out and stuck.
During my coaching session with Fiona she was able to trace the reason behind my stuck feelings as not letting go of the planned sabbatical experience, as well as being in a major life transition time. Fiona helped me to focus on new goals and weekly outcomes to break the spell of being stuck. I was then able to re-engage longer life and work goals (that I had deep down but had forgotten). What Fiona does differently to other coaches is that she helps you find the real reasons behind your roadblocks, gets you to accept them, and to work past them with new tools. She also stops you being hard on yourself for minor slip-ups (what all perfectionists need sometimes).
I feel as though a major roadblock has been cleared and I have energy, motivation and direction again.
If anyone needs any help with their mindset, career or any part of their life, I would definitely recommend you speak with FIona. She really provides you the tools to become a self-coach.

My name's William Ferguson. I'm CEO and founder at Wylas Timing.

Before I met Fiona I was struggling with the business and we had just switched from being a startup to scaleup and I had switched from working full time for someone else to working for my own company. Days had become endless, I was exhausted and not feeling like I was making an impact on the business.

During my coaching program with Fiona, we uncovered the issues that were holding me back and came up with appropriate solutions to them. She helped me see what makes me tick and to use that to better navigate the chaos that is life. As an added bonus I am always surprised and intrigued by the new insights we uncover.

Now I have a business that I am in control of instead of being buried under. I sleep soundly at the end of each day, am content, can point to the value that energy has created and love watching the business grow.

If anyone needs any help with their mindset, career or any part of their life, I would definitely recommend you speak with Fiona. More...

Fiona is an excellent coach. I have achieved a great deal from our sessions and have made real headway with some issues that had been bugging me for quite some time. Thanks Fi! You’re awesome.

Fiona seeks down and ruthlessly destroys excuses!

She does so with care and sensitivity for her clients. Only consult with her because you wanted to be better at achieving your goals. .. if you do, you WILL see results.

I had unsuccessfully sought to lose weight for several years on medical advice... after spending time with Fiona (during which she confronted me directly about my lack of action) I have been able to lose 10 kg in around 2 months and have set goals towards further losses.

My health is already noticeably improved and I thank Fiona for her input.

Fiona is an insightful, intelligent, caring professional with a cheeky sense of humour whom I would recommend and highly endorse to anyone. More...

Working with Fiona is a mixture of pleasure, learning, insight and even at times, tough love.
Fiona is extremely approachable and empathetic yet manages to cut through the b***s**** to tell it like it is.
Some life coaches are really good at making it look like they are listening, Fiona really does.
Even more, she understands and extracts the key issues that matter helping you break free of what it is that is blocking you and helps build motivation to get you moving again.
Fiona is also an inspiring and motivating speaker and thought leader who draws on her years of martial arts practice being able to share tools and tips to help you win in this game of life.
If you haven’t already met Fiona I highly recommend you pick up the phone and give her a call.
She is really welcoming and easy to talk to.
Cheers.

It's been an interesting time with Fiona, I came to Fiona because I was sick of feeling stuck, and my realisation was that if I didn't try put new input in my life, I probably wouldn't get anywhere. Partially because for a long time I had had this really bad feeling about life that persevered wherever I went. I had pretty much settled on it, and had thought I would live with this horrible feeling, but I didn't even realise a life coach like Fiona could process it for me. It was amazing that she could do that. More...

I was referred to Fiona last year. At that time I had reached the point of giving up on finding a professional who was able to support and understand me, but then I met Fiona.

Before meeting Fiona, I found it hard to get out of bed every day. I had given up on trying to build a career and could no longer found happiness in activities that had been tainted by horrible past memories. I was also struggling with understanding my own, and others’, emotions.

During my first coaching program with Fiona, I was so easily able to come out of my shell and find comfort in discussing everything with Fiona. Working through exercises, between-session tasks, and having someone explain to me how your brain functions, helped me understand my issues, emotions, and mental health better.

As I am going into my second coaching program, I feel more confident, I am positive about my future, and I’ve completely changed my mindset. I used to think I was “unfixable”. Now I find it easy to get out of bed and begin my day. Micro-stresses that used to take up a lot of mental energy, are now given the proportion of energy that they are due, and often that is none! Rather than reacting emotionally, I remain calm when the unexpected happens. Things and people that used to really upset me no longer bother me.

If you feel you are too far down in a hole or there is no one who can help you, I would highly recommend you have a chat with Fiona. No judgement is ever received from her, and she will always lend an open ear. You can tell by speaking to her how passionate she is about helping people and that she wants the best for all her clients.

Fiona has the gift of making things simple to understand and do step-by-step. For example, she explained a system to organise my time for maximum results. I then set up a schedule that made the day flow by and also be very productive. If you are looking for a coach to make it fun while keeping you accountable, Fiona is an excellent motivator to work with. More...

Great at finding out what you need to focus on and how to do it. Definitely recommend 👌

I really got some good hints on how to start to achieve my dreams and goals - Fiona explained in very understandable and I believe achievement way for me to get up and start doing - especially the 20 minutes on five minute rest appoach. THANKS 😀CHRISTINE

In presenting Fiona with a challenging scenario I was able to receive immense value from my session in just a single meeting. It was clear from the outset that from the structured conversation to the tools provided to me, that I was gaining incredible benefit from a highly capable coach. During the session Fiona clearly understood the challenges I arrived with and worked swiftly to dissect to the core of the matter, before empowering me with a way forward that I felt confident would deliver an outcome I had hoped to achieve. I wouldn't hesitate to engage Fiona again for similar matters knowing that I would receive precise and comprehensive coaching towards the outcomes I'm seeking. More...

I was feeling really unmotivated and lost after having a tough year with studies but Fiona helped me to learn to be positive and keep a good balance in my life. I’ve developed so many new habits like frequent exercise and positive mindset activities. Fiona’s advice and ability to solve problems is a priceless tool everyone can use to improve themselves or aspects of their lives. More...

Thanks Hannah, It was fantastic to see you get motivated and excited about your future. Best of luck with it all, Fiona

My name is Kathleen and I am the Founder and Creative Overlord of By Ninja, an award-winning brand studio based in Meanjin (Brisbane) Australia.

I first met Fiona at a networking event, and we caught up about a week later to learn more about what each other do. At the time, I knew something within myself wasn’t going so well. We got chatting, and as Fiona started describing the types of people she helps and some of the trigger words they express, a game of ‘bingo’ was happening in my head (I got bingo). I genuinely loved what I do, but I was exhausted. I was not coping with the pressure I’d put on myself to be everything to everyone (but myself). I was frustrated, hyper emotional, barely sleeping and constantly injuring myself at sport.

During my first session with Fiona we explored a ‘sleep hack’. That night, I had one of the best sleeps I’d had in a very long time. Sleeping better immediately helped shift my mindset into a more effective space.

In a nutshell, that’s how Fiona works, it’s what she does — she empowers you with the knowledge and tools you need to conquer your ‘thing’, and deliver the greatest, long term impact.

Six months on and I am so proud of the version of ‘me’ that I have grown into. I have an understanding of what drives me and why. I am more balanced. I sleep. I am more effective overall — a better founder, creative, mentor, friend, daughter, and partner. I have a clearer vision of my future, and what exactly is driving the legacy that I want to build. I am maturing into the version of myself that will actually enable me to achieve my goals, sustainably. More...

Fiona brings a diverse skill set and vast experience to each conversation, easily identifying areas of benefit she can provide. From my experience Fiona tailors her level of support to the outcomes you would like to achieve, easily navigating complex career and life stages to achieve the desired result.

I would highly recommend Fiona. I came to her with a fear of mice and through one conversational hypnosis session, I had my first breakthrough of being able to watch videos on mice, which I'd thought would never be possible for me!

I am the founder of CodED. I run online courses where I teach children software coding and help them develop essential life skills. I had the pleasure of working with Fiona. Prior to meeting Fiona, I felt stuck and lacked clarity in my business. I was unable to make progress and didn't understand why. However, Fiona's guidance and expertise made all the difference. During our coaching sessions, Fiona helped me set clear goals, redefine my target market, and identify the mental blocks holding me back. Her insights and exercises provided me with much-needed clarity on my current situation and future aspirations. Fiona also equipped me with effective strategies to overcome my mental blocks, enabling me to face them head-on and move forward confidently. Fiona is empathetic and nonjudgmental. She created a safe and supportive space where I felt comfortable sharing my challenges and fears. Fiona's approachability and deep understanding fostered a warm and friendly environment, making each session immensely valuable. If you are in need of assistance with your mindset, career, or any aspect of your life, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Fiona. Working with Fiona has been a wonderful experience, and I am truly grateful for her support. More...

I had the pleasure of working with Fiona over the past 6 months. From our initial conversations to our latest sessions, Fiona consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of the human mind and an unwavering commitment to helping me find my way when I was VERY lost.

Under Fiona’s guidance, I have experienced significant personal growth in various aspects of my life. The tailored strategies and exercises provided during our sessions have empowered me to overcome limiting beliefs, rebuilid my motivation, develop a positive mindset, and approach challenges with newfound confidence. The impact on my mindset has significantly improved my professional and personal life.

Fiona will ask the right questions, destroy any negativity, and direct you in the perfect way to get to the life you want to live. Fiona consistently offered encouragement, constructive feedback, and a fresh perspective that allowed me to navigate obstacles with resilience and optimism.

Through Fiona’s guidance, I have again become myself—a positive, happy person who is living the life they want. The tools and techniques she shared have become crucial components of my daily life.

I would recommend Fiona’s services to anyone looking to improve their professional or personal self. Wether you just need to get back to basic standards of happiness or for people looking to get over the line in their careers. More...

Hi my name is Caitlyn, 29 and I'm a delivery driver for TGE.
Back in February of 2024 I was hit with the unfortunate news, ''You've got Leukaemia''. While the diagnosis was a shock (and still is 7months on) I handled it surprisingly well. It wasn't until I was told of all the tablets/capsules I would have to swallow whole (not crushed or syrup version, which is my usual go to) that my mind spiralled down. This is because I have/had a phobia of swalling tablets. My whole life I'd never really been successful in doing so. Tried every trick in the book but I would choke or throw up, just an automatic reflex.
What made my situation worse was that the doctors had said if I couldn't swallow these specific tablets I would die a slow and painful death. It must be said that this is if I chose to have a Bone Marrow Transplant and not just having the chemo on its own. The transplant gives me the best chance at a cure, but not if I can't swallow tablets. So I would only be able to have chemo and it's a 50/50 chance it'll come back with just that and harder to treat if it does.
After this news I decided to get to work on my tablet phobia, but while in hospital there was no progress at all despite having the help of the hospitals therapists and specialists.

Once I was out of hospital it was my Dad who had thought of hypnotherapy to see if it could help me as it helped him. This is when I was introduced to Fiona. From my very first session with her I started to see progress, small steps but it was something at last. She was very easy to open up and talk to. Be it a simple chat, a cry or a laugh, Fiona created an easy going safe space and allowed your mind to knock down the barriers and unravel the knots it had created over the years.
Each session there was more and more progress and it wasn't until my 4th talk with her that I was able to excitedly tell her I had finally accomplished my goal and overcome my phobia. She had helped me crush the mental block that was preventing me from swalling tablets. And most importantly, gave me the opportunity to get the treatment I need that will give me a second chance at life. For that I can't thank you enough. More...

Thank you so much for sharing your story Caitlyn. I am so happy for you that you have found a way through your challenges and can now swallow those life-saving tablets. Best of luck on your journey, you are an incredibly strong woman and have a wonderful future ahead of you. With love, Fiona

Fiona was very kind, easy to talk to and helped me realise things I didn't even understand about myself.

Thank you so much for your recommendation. Yes there was a lot of processing for you to do after the session and when we caught up a month later it was clear things had changed and you knew what you needed to do. Thank you for trusting the process and all the best of luck for the future. Fiona

I’m so grateful to have worked with Fiona.
Before I reached out to her, I was feeling really confused and overwhelmed. I had so many questions swirling in my head about my career and the direction I wanted to take. It was a tough time, and I didn’t know where to turn.
During our sessions, Fiona helped me navigate through that confusion by asking the right questions. She really took the time to listen and understand my struggles, which made a huge difference. With her guidance, I was able to unlock my thoughts and gain the clarity I desperately needed.
Now, I feel like a different person! I’ve found the courage to believe in myself and pursue my ideas. The sense of relief and excitement I feel now is incredible. I can't thank Fiona enough for helping me transform my confusion into confidence.
I highly recommend Fiona to anyone who feels lost or unsure about their career path (or life in general). She’s a fantastic coach who genuinely cares and knows how to help you find your way! More...

Thank you so much for your openness Niloo. You were an absolute joy to work with and I am so excited to follow your career progress which I know is going from strength to strength. All the best Fiona

Fiona is very knowledgeable on a vast range of areas, so it was really good to chat to her, not just about the psychology side of things, but also business, travel, and all the other bits and pieces that give you that holistic approach to your progress.

Fiona she knows the right questions to ask so she knows how to dig deep and really draw out information from you, and help you to know and align with your values.

What most surprised me about working with Fiona was that she didn't restrict the session to say 60 Minutes. We just sat and we talked, and she drew the information out of me until we got to the end and found that solution.

I've found lots of coaches in the past have been restricted to that 60-minute session which was never enough time to sort everything out.

With Fiona we got to the point and I got the clarity I required and it was a really enjoyable experience. So if you are considering a coach 100% Fiona Spence is the person you need. More...

After my coaching with Fiona, I am much more confident, have a clear understanding of my goals and how to achieve them.

Thanks Mikayla, It is always a thrill for a coach to witness a client growing in confidence and nailing their goals. So proud of you! Best wishes Fiona

I had the privilege of working with Fiona through several sessions this year. Whilst somewhat skeptical of the reviews of "fast-paced"change, I have very much found this to be the case with her method of therapy.
As a mum and business woman, I felt incredibly stuck in my ritualistic patterns of behavior and thinking. Fiona was able to disconnect the inconsistent parts between my subconscious and conscious mind. What has taken place in my life since our initial appointment early 2024, is nothing short of continual growth and exponential growth. It's like a sleeping part of me is now awakened and so excited about each day. 'Transformative' doesn't even begin to cover it.
What truly sets Fiona apart is her ability to ask the right questions. She treated me as a human being rather than just a "paying client". She has incredible rapport and is able to communicate effectively through connection with me. Her support is unwavering.
If you're looking for someone to help you unlock your full potential and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and purpose, I wholeheartedly recommend Fiona. She is a true professional, and the positive impact she's had on my life is immeasurable. More...
