Information from Nicole Robson about her counselling services: My name is Nicole Robson and I am the Outreach Coordinator at Second Story Women’s Centre. I am happy to say that due to the support of the New Ross Family Resource Centre I will be able to offer some one on one counselling support every two weeks in New Ross. Second Story offers support through a trauma informed approach, and I have worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief and loss. I like to work from a strength based approach, and use tools such as mindfulness, and grounding techniques. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, I can be reached at 902-541-0343.
