About Rohan
Rohan Holt is an AASW counsellor with 27 years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. He works with people who are struggling with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and those seeking coaching to move forward. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Rohan encourages the first step and acknowledges it can take courage. Rohan uses a down-to-earth style in sessions. He listens first, then tailors conversations and goals to each person's situation.
Background and approach
He mixes practical tools and reflection so people can try new ways of coping between appointments. His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with difficult thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. He also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationship and connection issues are central.
Sessions are person-centred and shaped around what the client wants to achieve. Rohan has worked across many presenting concerns over nearly three decades. This broad experience informs simple, usable strategies for everyday stress, chronic emotional patterns, and relationship repair.
He places emphasis on small, manageable steps that build into longer-term change. People meet him for short-term coaching or longer therapeutic work. He adapts pace and focus to each person's needs and priorities.
If someone is ready to begin, Rohan helps them set clear, realistic goals and a plan to reach them.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can be practised between sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It often uses short exercises and homework that suit video or text follow-up. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions; this is useful when relationship repair and emotion regulation are the goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rohan will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit. That collaborative process means approaches can be blended and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when discussing emotions and body language matters. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, paced reflection or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments, while keeping momentum between appointments.
