Korin Whittaker, AASW

Korin Whittaker is an AASW-accredited social worker who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She has four years' experience in therapeutic settings and focuses on practical ways to build confidence and manage anger. She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Korin tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. She uses clear, down-to-earth language so clients can try small changes between sessions. Her work often centres on improving self-esteem, finding motivation, and coping with life changes.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s goals central rather than a fixed programme.

Korin has supported people facing complex concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and fertility-related distress. She also works with communication problems, codependency and difficulties tied to hoarding and shame.

In sessions she focuses on skills you can use right away - for example noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing grounding techniques, and setting realistic small goals. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and collaborates on plans that fit everyday life.

How Korin’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions where making small value-based changes matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with practical tasks. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems with self-esteem. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy teaches skills for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions, which can help with anger and relationship tensions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Korin works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit best for each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust plans over time as progress and new concerns emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy life easier by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, or to focus on skills practice between meetings. Discussing practical arrangements during the first contact helps make therapy workable alongside day-to-day responsibilities.
