About Rohan
Rohan Holt is an AASW social worker with 27 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, angry or worn down by past trauma.
Background and approach
He also supports those struggling with relationship problems or wanting coaching for life changes. Rohan uses clear, respectful conversation to work out what matters most to each person.
He adapts sessions to the client rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills you can try between meetings.
He draws on approaches such as the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide his work. That might mean learning ways to talk about difficult topics, practising short exercises to manage strong feelings, or noticing patterns that keep causing pain.
Rohan aims to make the first steps feel manageable. He keeps language simple and gives options so people can pick what feels right.
He wants clients to leave sessions with a clearer next step and an idea of what progress looks like. When someone chooses to begin, Rohan will tailor the pace and focus to their needs.
He meets people in a calm, respectful way and helps them build skills to handle stress, improve communication, and reduce the impact of past hurt.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often focus on short exercises and practical tools to use between meetings, which suit video or message-based formats.The Gottman Method concentrates on improving communication and reducing damaging interaction patterns. In online sessions this can mean guided conversations, role-plays or teaching specific communication skills that partners or individuals can practise at home.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions to stress and closeness. Online work may involve reflective dialogue and exercises to build awareness of those patterns and try different ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those aims. Adjustments are made as you progress so the plan stays relevant.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep momentum between meetings.
