Korin Whittaker, AASW

Korin Whittaker is an AASW social worker in Australia with four years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps people coping with big life changes and patterns that leave them putting others first.

Korin uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Sessions focus on what is causing daily strain and what can be changed. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop different responses.

She also uses dialectical behaviour therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools help people notice what matters to them and make small, values-based changes that fit everyday life.

Korin follows a person-centred way of working, so sessions are shaped around each client’s priorities. She adapts language and pacing to what feels manageable, and keeps exercises simple and doable between appointments.

Her additional interests include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency patterns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication and control issues, and areas such as forgiveness, guilt and shame. She can talk through practical boundary-setting, managing anger, and coping strategies for ongoing stress.

Sessions are conducted in English and intended for adults. To start, readers are invited to use the site’s matching and scheduling flow to book an initial appointment and then see how the approach fits their situation.
