Korin Whittaker, AASW

Korin Whittaker is an AASW social worker who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people feel and act. She works with practical concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, self‑esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. Korin writes short, tailored plans and talks through ideas you can try between sessions.

She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches alongside dialectical behaviour ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Korin also uses a person‑centred style to keep sessions grounded in what matters to each person. Sessions are conversational and aim to break worries into manageable steps.

Over four years in the therapy space, Korin has helped people address issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency, body image and caregiver stress. She has worked with clients experiencing chronic pain, fertility concerns and the emotional effects of illness and disability. Her approach is practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Korin emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in sessions. She tailors the pace and techniques to each person’s needs and life circumstances. Small, steady changes in everyday habits and thinking are a common focus during work together.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Korin aims to make it straightforward. She supports people who want clearer thinking, calmer reactions and more confidence in daily life.

How Korin's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps toward values that matter. It can help when worry or low mood prevents everyday action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low self‑esteem. Client‑Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathy and support while you find your own solutions.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. You and the counsellor will review what helps and adjust the plan as you go.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check‑in sessions or making it simpler to schedule around work. It also lets the counsellor and client focus on practical skills and day‑to‑day habit changes that transfer into everyday routines.
