About Lorraine
Lorraine Craig is an ACA counsellor based in Australia with nine years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with addictions, relationship and family problems, anger, and major life changes. Lorraine also lists blended family issues among her focus areas, and she speaks English for sessions.
She uses practical conversation to help clients sort through immediate concerns. Sessions look at what is happening now and what can change next. Lorraine draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to make problems easier to manage.
Clients who meet with her can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. She helps people set small, achievable goals and tracks progress between meetings. Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas are used to reframe difficult situations and build clearer next steps.
Lorraine has worked across a range of family and relationship difficulties, including communication problems, separation, and codependency. She also supports people facing chronic illness, grief related to abandonment or adoption, and issues around control and dependency.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Lorraine asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them talk through problems and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build commitment without pressure.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Lorraine will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on needs, goals and preferences. That means treatment can shift from problem-focused tools to longer conversations as required.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a simpler, audio-only meeting, depending on what is offered. Appropriately qualified counsellors can work effectively in this way while helping clients keep progress moving between sessions.
