Korin Whittaker, AASW

Korin Whittaker is an AASW accredited social worker who offers practical, respectful counselling. She works with people feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by life changes. Korin also helps with relationship concerns, anger, motivation, and self-esteem in straightforward, supportive sessions.

She aims to listen first and tailor conversations to each person's needs. Korin uses a person-centred style, so the session focuses on what matters to the client and moves at their pace. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build skills and shift unhelpful patterns.

Korin often blends short-term, practical techniques with deeper exploration when needed. That can mean learning new coping skills, spotting thoughts that worsen anxiety, or practising ways to manage anger and strong emotions. She also helps people address attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, body image, chronic health concerns, and caregiver stress.

Her approach is plain and supportive. Korin focuses on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life. She explains ideas clearly and works collaboratively to set goals and review progress.

Taking a first step can feel hard, and Korin makes space for that. She aims to offer calm, non-judgemental support while helping people build tools to cope and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change behaviours. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills for managing strong emotions and conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use skills learned in real-life settings and return to tools between meetings. Appropriately qualified therapists can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions while adapting exercises to suit how the person prefers to connect.
