Lorraine Craig

Lorraine Craig is an ACA counsellor based in Australia with nine years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, family conflict and anger. Lorraine also helps people facing big life or career changes and the uncertainty those bring.

Her sessions aim to be down-to-earth and straightforward. She works to create an open space where clients can say what they mean and be heard. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon or tests.

Lorraine mixes a few different approaches depending on what each person needs. She uses client-centred listening to build trust, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and motivational interviewing when people want to change addictive behaviours. She also brings solution-focused and narrative techniques to help people find moments of progress.

Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Lorraine helps people set simple, achievable goals and checks in about what is working. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on tools that can be used between meetings.

She speaks English and practices in Australia. Lorraine understands that starting therapy can feel hard and she encourages people to take the first step when they are ready.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person without judgement. It helps build trust and gives space for someone to work through feelings like anger or loss. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear strategies to change unhelpful thinking and to practise different behaviours between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorraine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process shapes each plan and the tools used in sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make short check-ins, skill practice or regular weekly meetings easier to keep. Because the biography does not specify which session formats she uses, confirm the available options before booking to ensure they suit your schedule and needs. Appropriately qualified therapists can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, helping people apply new skills in day-to-day life.
