Rohan Holt

Rohan Holt is an AASW counsellor with 27 years of professional experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with relationships, facing trauma or abuse, or managing anger. He aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and encouraging.

Rohan works in a respectful and compassionate way. He listens first and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that can be used between meetings.

He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build new responses, and improve emotional connection in relationships.

Rohan also pays attention to attachment concerns and longer term life stressors, including issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and caregiving, chronic illness, and body image. He supports people working through co-morbidity, communication problems, commitment worries and codependency by breaking concerns into manageable tasks.

His style is collaborative and practical. He aims to help people identify clear next steps and build skills that fit into everyday life. If you are ready to begin, Rohan encourages taking the first step and completing the initial matching process to find out if his approach is right for you.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thought and behaviour patterns that keep difficulties going, which many people find useful for anxiety and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to improve emotional connection and communication, and can help people who struggle with relationship distress and attachment worries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and how you like to work, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people attend from different parts of Australia without travelling long distances. Discuss practical arrangements and session length with the therapist when you schedule so sessions match your routine.
