About Lorraine
Lorraine Craig is an ACA counsellor based in Australia with nine years of clinical experience. She supports people facing addictions, relationship strain, family conflict and anger. Lorraine also helps people navigate major life changes and career transitions in a practical, down-to-earth way.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and calm. Lorraine uses a client-centred approach that lets people set the pace. She listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps clients find small, manageable steps forward.
Background and approach
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different actions. For people dealing with motivation around substance use, she uses motivational interviewing to build readiness for change. Systemic ideas help her look at how relationships and roles shape problems and solutions.
Lorraine works with a wide range of concerns that often overlap, such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and blended family tensions. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, ageing questions, separation and the practical fallout of family problems. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, but adaptable to each person.
Lorraine encourages open conversation about what is working and what needs adjusting. She aims to make therapy a useful part of coping with life rather than a source of extra stress.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions give space for that same listening, with the counsellor reflecting what is said and helping clients find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect; in online work this often means setting small practice tasks between sessions and reviewing progress together. Systemic Therapy considers relationships and patterns across a person's network and can be used online to map interactions and plan changes that affect day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss options and together decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as different issues come into focus, and the approach will be adjusted in collaboration.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow brief updates and reflection between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
