Carol Parkinson-Jones

My name is Carol Parkinson-Jones. I have a room behind the Workcentre in which I conduct counselling and family therapy sessions. I have a Masters Degree in social work, a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and I am a member of NZAC (NZ Association of Counsellors).

I am passionate about group work and have just run the first of many psychodrama groups since my return to Golden Bay.

My background includes five grown children, ten grandchildren and a long-term commitment to intentional community at Rainbow Valley. With the help of my husband, Simon, and many others I established Te Whare Mahana and the Rural Mental Health Outreach service during the 1990s.

My focus in life is to love others and this precious earth while having fun and making money.
