Rohan Holt, AASW

Rohan Holt is an AASW social worker with 27 years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and anger. He also offers coaching to help clients move toward clearer goals. Rohan writes in a direct, respectful way and encourages people who feel nervous about starting therapy. Rohan keeps sessions practical and grounded. Conversations are shaped around the problem you bring and the next small steps you can take. He adapts his approach so the work fits your life, not the other way around. He uses a mix of approaches, chosen to suit each person. That might include talking through patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, or practising new ways of handling strong feelings. The focus is on useful strategies alongside understanding what drives difficult responses. Rohan aims to be warm and nonjudgemental. He listens for what matters most to you and helps you name priorities. He supports people who want clearer communication, firmer boundaries, or ways to reduce emotional reactivity. Taking the first step can be hard, and Rohan acknowledges that courage. He will work with you to set realistic, achievable goals and check in about progress as you go.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages you to clarify values and commit to small actions that matter. It is useful for stress, anxiety and unhelpful avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles shape current relationships and helps people rewrite those patterns for better communication and security. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgemental conversation where the client leads the pace and topics and the therapist reflects and supports personal insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rohan will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family commitments. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make weekly sessions simpler to attend for people with busy lives. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises and resources for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
