About Rohan
Rohan Holt is an experienced counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. He welcomes clients who are nervous about starting therapy and aims to make the first steps straightforward. Rohan holds AASW and brings 27 years of practical work in Australia to his sessions.
Rohan prefers a conversational, respectful style. He listens first, then tailors a plan that matches what you want to work on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete steps you can try between meetings as well as talking through recent events and patterns. He uses several approaches to match different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviour.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports living with difficult feelings while moving toward chosen goals. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based methods are used when relationship patterns and past hurt are central to the problem. Rohan also draws on client-centred practice to keep the work focused on the person in front of him rather than a fixed protocol.
That means he responds to your speed and comfort level, and adjusts tools as you progress. He frames sessions as practical conversations with clear next steps. Many people come for short-term work focused on a few issues, while others use therapy over a longer period for deeper change.
Rohan encourages questions about how sessions run and what to expect, and he works with each person to set realistic, achievable goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Rohan uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and some forms of anger by breaking problems into concrete actions and experiments.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on accepting uncomfortable feelings while clarifying what matters to you. ACT supports people who want to move toward life goals even when hard emotions are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rohan discusses options with each person and tailors methods to match goals, pace and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit short check-ins or people who prefer written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue work even when travel or scheduling would otherwise interrupt progress.
