Rohan Holt, AASW

Rohan Holt is an AASW social worker with 27 years of professional experience in Australia. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. He aims to make the first steps straightforward for people who feel nervous about starting therapy.

Rohan keeps conversations direct and practical. He focuses on helping people understand what sparks their anger and what helps reduce it in day-to-day life. Sessions use clear strategies rather than jargon. The emphasis is on small, sustainable changes that fit into ordinary routines.

His approach draws on several recognised methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. He also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas when they fit the situation. That mix is used to address problems like communication breakdown, unresolved hurt, and repeated patterns that feed anger.

Rohan often helps people sort out relationship friction, rebuild trust after conflict, and manage spikes of frustration at work or home. He also works with issues linked to abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiving stress and chronic health challenges. The work tends to be hands-on, with practical exercises and clear goals.

He asks clients to pick a manageable first step - a short session or a brief questionnaire - and then plans the next session around what worked. The focus is on clear, steady progress rather than quick fixes.
