About Cory
Cory Porter is a counsellor based in Melbourne with 23 years of professional experience. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck with addictions, relationship strain and family conflicts. He also supports people working through depression and feelings of isolation.
Cory aims to create an open and non-judgmental space. Clients can talk through difficult thoughts and emotions at their own pace. The first step can feel hard, and he acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.
In sessions Cory focuses on practical conversation and steady support. He listens for patterns such as attachment problems, codependency or communication breakdowns. He also helps people address drug and alcohol use, process addictions like gambling or pornography, and questions about life purpose.
Cory pays attention to how culture and prejudice can affect wellbeing. He supports men’s issues, multicultural concerns, and the impact of family of origin on current relationships. Forgiveness, building self-love, and repairing communication are common topics he addresses.
Workplace stress and the demands of modern jobs are part of his practice. He helps people untangle job-related strain from other areas of life. Cory works with each person to set realistic steps and notice small changes over time.
How Cory’s approaches translate to online support
Cory uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical conversation and behavioural change. One common approach is problem-solving and behaviour-focused work, which breaks issues into manageable steps and helps people practise different responses to stress and workplace pressures.He also draws on relational ideas that look at attachment patterns and communication habits. This helps when relationships, family of origin issues or codependency are contributing to anxiety or addictive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cory works with each person to pick methods that suit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the focus as progress is made.
