About Dr. Jeff Morley
I have been a Registered Psychologist in private practice since 2004. From 1990-2013 I was a police officer with RCMP. My policing experience has given me great first hand experience facing trauma, suffering, and working with people in distress. In my practice I work with many first responders, but also diverse groups of people from the community. I provide individual counselling and psychotherapy, couple and family counselling, and I also teach in different settings and provide training on trauma, resilience, workplace psychological health, peer support and Critical Incident Stress Management.
In my work I place great value on developing an effective therapeutic relationship. I value being authentic, honest, and kind. I always ensure my therapeutic work is evidence-based, and grounded science and research while also being practical and focused on meeting my client's therapeutic goals.
The following pages will tell you more specifically about my approach to counselling and psychotherapy, and may help you decide if I might be a good fit for you.
I have been in private practice, and Registered with BC College of Psychologists since 2004.
