Korin Whittaker, AASW

Korin Whittaker is an AASW accredited social worker in New South Wales with four years of practice experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, low self‑esteem and coping with major life changes. Korin also supports people dealing with guilt and shame alongside issues such as attachment concerns, body image and caregiver stress.

Korin keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She talks through what matters most and helps people notice unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour. Conversations are adapted to each person's situation rather than following a fixed script.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach skills for managing strong emotions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps forward. Solution‑Focused and client‑centred methods inform how she sets goals and listens to what matters to the client.

In session Korin will often combine short exercises with focused discussion. That can mean tracking thoughts and behaviours, trying grounding techniques for intense feelings, or setting one small task to test a different approach. The emphasis is on practical steps people can use between meetings.

People who contact Korin are usually looking for clear strategies and a calm, direct conversation about difficult feelings. She works in English and practises in Australia, bringing a social work perspective to everyday problems like relationships, chronic stress and complicated emotions such as guilt or shame.
