Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Rohan directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and values-based approaches work online
Rohan blends Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from the person to make space for new choices. ACT focuses on values and practical steps, teaching ways to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rohan works together with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and comfort level. He will suggest techniques from different approaches and adjust them over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows full face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
