Ciaran, MPCC, RCC-ACS

---

Hi, my name is Ciaran, I am a psychotherapist and clinical counsellor. I completed my diploma in Addiction studies in 2006 while working in the addiction field in Ireland. Then completed a Master of Integrated Counselling & Psychotherapy a few years later. I achieved a second master’s in social care management back home in Ireland. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and clinical supervisor (RCC-ASC) through the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCCAC).

For the last twenty years I have been working with clients in a counselling and addiction setting. I believe my unique experience and education has helped me gain the knowledge and understanding to support people to flourish in their lives. I use a humanistic and integrated approach to my client work. My therapeutic approaches are tailored to meet the needs of each client. I implement an integrative approach that consists of a variety of therapeutic techniques. This integrative approach will assist the client in developing new awareness and insight around their personal journey of recovery.

My goal is to hold a space that is safe, warm and confidential where the client’s needs are at the forefront of the counselling journey. I join each client on their personal journey walking alongside them providing support through discussion and exploration. I will help clarify your own beliefs, values and priorities, arriving at a place where you can claim your personal freedom by dissolving past trauma. My therapeutic practice is informed by a person-centred and culturally informed counselling approach. I believe every person is the expert on their own life.

Looking forward to meeting you at the Ranch ,

Greetings, my name is Richard.

I have been clean and an active part of the local recovery community for a few years now. 

My drug use spanned many years and included most all of the associated consequences of addiction. Through a power greater than myself I was able to find recovery and a new way of life.

I am grateful to be given the opportunity to share that new way of life at my job at Red Road Recovery. 

There is nothing more rewarding than affecting change in another addict and watching addicted people discover freedom for the first time in their lives.

Hi! My name is Steve Braun, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and Certified Recovery Coach. I am excited to be a part of the Red Road team!

Guiding people in transforming their lives and breaking free from the grips of addiction is my greatest passion. With 15 years of personal sobriety and over a decade working in the field of mental health and addiction, I have helped hundreds of individuals at various stages of change and recovery.

I am honoured to bring my passion and experience to the Red Road Ranch where I hope to instigate change using a trauma informed, solution-focused, therapeutic approach. In extending the continuum of care prior to, and post treatment, I will be providing virtual 1-1 counselling sessions for Red Road as well as facilitating aftercare support services. 

With any free time between my private practice and the Ranch, I love being outdoors fly-fishing and camping with my amazing partner.

Hi, my name is Laura Allen, I am a Certified Life Coach, Wellness Counselor, and Professional Counselor with a heartfelt and dedicated commitment to supporting individuals navigating addiction. With personal experience I bring deep empathy and authenticity to my work, meeting clients not only with clinical knowledge but with a profound understanding of what it means to heal.  

Having walked my own path through addiction, grief, and trauma, my work stems from the belief that even our most painful experiences can become our most powerful sources of growth, strength, and connection. My own journey has ignited a passion for guiding others through their darkest moments. I believe that my personal experience brings a unique and authentic perspective to my work – one rooted in resilience, empathy, and hope. 

I am currently working towards my full accreditation with the ACCT. I have completed training in CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to name a few.  This integrated approach allows me to tailor each session to meet my clients where they are and help them to work towards their goals. I believe that transformation is possible at any stage, therefor I choose to walk alongside my clients with warmth, encouragement, and unwavering respect.
