About Rohan

Rohan Holt is an AASW social worker with 27 years of professional experience in Australia. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and coaching needs. He speaks English and uses straightforward conversation to begin work together.

Rohan uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside other practical methods. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that can alter how people respond in tense moments.

In sessions he listens and works with clients to choose approaches that fit the problem at hand. That might mean looking at how attachment shapes relationships, practising new ways of thinking and acting, or learning strategies to manage stress and anger. He explains options clearly and checks in about what is working.

Rohan has worked across many settings over nearly three decades. This experience informs a practical style that balances emotional work and real-world skills. He helps people talk through hard experiences and develop ways to manage them day to day.

People who start therapy with him complete a short intake and plan a first session. He asks about goals and suggests a mix of approaches to explore in follow-up sessions.

Approaches used in online sessions

Rohan commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name emotions that drive relationship patterns. EFT focuses on the few key feelings beneath repeated arguments and seeks new ways of responding to them.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and on attachment-based ideas that look at how early bonds influence present reactions. These methods can help with anxiety, anger, stress and relationship patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rohan discusses goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they choose which methods to try. This collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on emotion work, behaviour and skills, or acceptance and values-based change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering alternatives when on-camera time is difficult. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can use these methods effectively over distance when the approach suits the client and the issue at hand.
