Korin Whittaker, AASW

Korin Whittaker is an AASW accredited social worker with four years' experience in clinical settings. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and self-esteem. Korin aims to make first steps easier by offering respectful, sensitive and compassionate care.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions are client-centred, with the therapist listening first and then suggesting strategies that fit daily life. Korin emphasises clear, usable tools rather than long lists of theory.

Her work often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people define what matters to them and take concrete steps towards those values.

Korin also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, codependency and body image. She has experience with chronic pain, illness and disability, caregiver stress, fertility challenges and hoarding-related worries.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process. The focus is on small, achievable changes that build confidence and improve coping with life changes. Korin wants clients to leave sessions with clearer steps to try between appointments.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions in that direction. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation by focusing on values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours that improve mood and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Korin works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person’s needs and goals. She tailors sessions so tools and exercises fit someone’s day-to-day life rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use worksheets, guided exercises and skills practice between sessions to build change into daily routines.

Appropriately qualified therapists will help you choose approaches and practical arrangements that suit your goals and lifestyle.
