Find a Provider

Kia Ora, My name is Carol Tolley. I was born in Matamata, Waikato and grew up in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland. I currently live with my whānau south of Whangārei.

I have a background in nursing and youthwork but counselling has been my mahi for over 20 years. I am qualified counsellor and a member of NZ Association of Counsellors.

I enjoy working with children, young people and their families as well as individual adults. I work creatively, utilizing play with children and art as part of the healing journey, if this is what my clients are comfortable with. Supporting people of all ages to find their best path forward through tough times is central to my work. Much of my work experience has been supporting people through grief and trauma, including losing someone through suicide. My own journey through grief is part of what led me into training and working as a counsellor.

I work for Jigsaw Manaaki Whānau in Whangārei on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays 8.30am-5pm. I am available to meet with people online as well, during these hours.
