About Rohan

Rohan Holt is an AASW social worker with 27 years of professional experience in Australia. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and integrates coaching into clinical work. Sessions focus on practical conversations about patterns that began in the family of origin and how those patterns show up now.

He uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people identify repeated roles and expectations from childhood. Rohan talks through communication habits, attachment concerns, and emotional reactions so clients can try different responses. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to map thoughts and behaviours that keep problems in place.

Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform his work on closeness and conflict. This supports people who want clearer boundaries or who notice they repeat family patterns in relationships. Sessions mix discussion, experiments to change habits, and reflection on what those changes feel like.

Rohan frames work as collaborative coaching and therapy. He helps people set concrete goals, practice new ways of relating, and check progress over time. His approach is practical and direct, aimed at everyday changes rather than abstract theory.

People who choose him are often looking to understand how upbringing affects current choices. He welcomes questions about process, methods, and how sessions are arranged. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Rohan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose valued actions despite difficult feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and behaviours that come from old family roles.

He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current connection styles. This approach helps people who want to understand closeness, boundaries, and repeating patterns from their family of origin.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Rohan discusses different methods with each person and decides together which fits best, based on goals and preferences. He blends techniques so sessions match practical aims rather than following a single method.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow a brief check-in during a work break. Discuss format preferences when you complete the questionnaire so arrangements suit everyday life and the work required.
