About Korin
Korin Whittaker is an AASW social worker in Australia with four years' experience in therapeutic settings. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and the practical strains that come with life changes.
She uses clear, action-focused conversations. Sessions often look at unhelpful thinking and everyday habits, then try different ways of responding. Korin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside a person-centred approach.
Clients can expect short-term practical strategies as well as space to talk through deeper patterns. Korin also addresses issues linked to attachment and abandonment, body image, communication problems, codependency and commitment worries. She works with concerns around chronic illness, caregiver strain, fertility stress, hoarding, guilt and shame.
The first sessions concentrate on what the person hopes to change and what is getting in the way. From there Korin and the client agree on small, measurable steps to try between sessions. Progress is reviewed and plans adjusted if needed.
Sessions are conducted in English and designed to fit into everyday life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Korin uses a subscription model for payments which can be cancelled at any time.
Practical approaches and online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that repeat in relationships. ACT teaches skills to accept difficult experiences while committing to values-based action, which can help with stress and motivation. Client-centred therapy places emphasis on listening and shaping sessions around what the person says is important.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Korin will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and review progress over time, adjusting the plan as needed.
The therapist offers online sessions; please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If you prefer, ask about ways to structure sessions so they suit quieter or shorter time slots and daily commitments.
