About Alain
Meet Alain Franchi: Your Partner in Navigating Life's Challenges
Life can be overwhelming. I'm Alain Franchi, an MC, RCC, and EMDR Therapist offering
compassionate support and expert guidance. My core values—integrity, genuineness,
authenticity, compassion, and empathy—guide me in creating a safe, confidential, and
judgment-free space for your healing and personal growth journey.
My French accent hints at my roots; after emigrating, I feel privileged to called BC home for
over 30 years, connected to this land, the unceded territories of the Líl
̓wat and N'quatqua nations
in the Pemberton area since 2006. My background and passion for diverse cultures have enriched
my understanding of the human experience. As a father and grandfather, youth inspires me.
Outside my practice, activities like time outdoors, swimming, yoga, mindfulness, cooking, and
playing guitar help me stay grounded, bringing my full attention and compassion to each session.
My Journey in Counselling & Philosophy
After a career as a software engineer and years volunteering at a Crisis Centre, I found my
calling in mental health support. I earned my Master's in Counselling Psychology, gaining
experience in rural BC, helping youth, adults, couples, and families with diverse challenges like
stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma (PTSD, attachment), ADHD, OCD, addictions,
schooling and career concerns and relationship issues.
I believe effective therapy is a collaborative process. We'll define your goals and track progress
together; you're the expert in your life, and my role is to support the changes you want to make.
I've learned that healing involves both body and mind, so I integrate EMDR, IFS, and ACT.
These modalities delve into memories, emotions, and sensations, fostering presence and
harnessing your inner wisdom to heal and grow. Extending these individual approaches with
EFT and gaining non-violent communication skills are proven ways of addressing relational
issues. Drawing from various modalities allows me to tailor our work to your needs, empowering
you to create lasting change, especially when processing past events.
Ready to Take the First Step?
If you are ready to explore how therapy can help, I invite you to take the first step towards
healing and growth. Contact me today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. I'd happily

I offer services to Youth (13+), Adults, Couples, and Families in English and French, in-
person at Leaning Cedar Therapy in Pemberton, BC on Sundays and online on weekdays.
