Alain Franchi, RCC

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.
