About Korin
Korin Whittaker is an AASW accredited social worker who draws on practical, evidence-based therapies to help people feel more in control. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger and self-esteem while tailoring sessions to each person's needs. Korin works in a straightforward, respectful way.
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside a client-centred style. Conversations are shaped to suit what matters to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
How Korin works
Her approach often includes learning simple skills to manage strong emotions, building small habits that change daily life, and identifying values to guide decisions. Sessions can focus on practical strategies for coping with life changes, improving communication, or managing anger and stress. Korin has four years' experience working in the therapy space across NSW, Australia.
That background includes supporting people with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness and disability, codependency and caregiver stress. She also works with issues such as fertility, hoarding, guilt and shame. People who choose Korin can expect calm, non-judgemental support and a plan that adapts as progress is made.
She helps clients set achievable goals and checks in on what is working and what needs to change.

Online support options
Therapies that translate well to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities rather than a set agenda. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, stress and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Korin will talk through your goals and preferences and recommend which methods suit you. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face to face when needed, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of working without travelling.
