Elysia Bronson at The Woods Counselling: Your Partner in Overcoming Depression and Rediscovering Joy through Online Therapy
Depression often accompanies ADHD. A life time of experiencing struggles with self regulation, masking symptoms, feeling hopeless and without proper support can lead to depression. I use CBT and DBT to help support individuals reframe negative thoughts, while coaching encouraging behaviour change to facilitate motivation, in order to help you meet your goals.
Welcome and congratulations on taking this first step to heal and change.
With empathy and in a safe space I will empower you to think of your circumstances and struggles in ways you may not have thought of on your own. Collaboratively, we will find solutions that will have positive outcomes.
When working with depression, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.
Depression comes in many shapes and forms -- situational, any kind of loss, seasonal, chronic, etc. And while depression takes many things from us, the biggest is the loss of the HOPE that things can be different. Guess what -- they CAN. My aim is to help you find that hope again and then start working our way back to strength, resiliency, contentment, and even happiness. It won't be overnight but it will happen. So let's start!

Have you been struggling to find fulfillment in life? And perhaps find it difficult to engage in tasks that you would usually enjoy? Depression is common among males and females and can be debilitating due to having thoughts and emotions that delay wellbeing. The therapeutic process involves examining some of the thoughts and emotions that maintain the depression. We also focus on behaviours that exacerbate the depression and what you could change in order to move away from the type of life that delays healing.
Through collaborative discussions and experiential exercises, such as diary keeping, derived from the cognitive behavioural model, I give you the opportunity to see how behaviours, thoughts, and feelings are interrelated, which can be extremely helpful in overcoming the vicious cycle of depression.
We are person-centred with the existential-humanistic lens. Psychotherapy is effective in improving life satisfaction and mental well-being. These psychotherapy modalities are well established in the empirical evidence regarding increasing resiliencies and post-treatment life satisfaction.
Therapy focuses on identifying and breaking cognitive patterns that fuel negative thinking with an integrative and holistic approach to target physical, psychological, physiological, social, behavioural, and motivational factors that co tribute to depressive symptoms. Behavioural activation, reframing negative thinking, and engaging in healthy living can be integral to treatment.
