About Rohan

Rohan Holt is an AASW social worker with 27 years of professional experience in Australia. He works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and codependency. He uses straightforward conversation to help clients clarify what matters to them and what gets in the way.

Rohan keeps sessions practical. He listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and losing a sense of self in relationships. He helps people practise small changes - clearer communication, boundary setting, and ways to manage strong emotions. Sessions focus on what the person can try between meetings.

His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Rohan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and build workable habits. He also works with attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused techniques to understand relationship patterns and how they repeat.

Clients can expect a conversational style rather than jargon. Rohan offers space to talk through past hurt and current stressors while mapping practical next steps. He will outline options and work with each person to pick what fits best.

For someone living around another person's drinking, moods, crises, or who keeps putting others first, Rohan helps identify where that pattern started and what can be done now. To begin, people follow the site process to match and book an initial session.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Rohan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his clinical work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions, and it can help with anxiety, stress and patterns that keep someone stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current relationships, which can help when someone repeatedly loses themselves or struggles with trust and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rohan will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs, and then suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online options can make it simpler to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to travel. Rohan aims to adapt session length and focus to what will fit into everyday life while progressing toward the client’s goals.
