Do you feel like there is more to life?

And do you wonder what is that you could do about it? After all you’ve tried a few things. But it seems as if you hit a wall and circle back to the same issues.

Welcome to Dauntless Minds! A safe, confidential and warm space for you, where you will be able to unburden & heal. Here you will feel UNDERSTOOD, RESPECTED and VALUED, and you will also start to fully understand, respect and value yourself; we will work together through the changes you want.ย 

dauntless: showing fearlessness and determination. “dauntless bravery” (from Oxford).

And it takes some dauntless bravery to admit your inner struggles, to face the painful experiences and feelings with honesty and do the deep work of healing & transformation.


It Takes Courage & Curiosity to Face Things with Honesty and
Decide to Change What Is Needed.


You might look successful by world standards and people might even envy you, but inside there is this nagging sensation – something not right. You feel overstretched and you feel like you’re failing. In your position you can’t quite confide in anyone and no one really has the gut to speak truth into your life. Unless you bring this thing into the light, with curiosity and honesty, it will only grow and pop out in least expected ways.

Or you have a dream, you think it’s possible, but something is holding you back, you feelย  “stuck”, small, frustrated. You wonder if you could ever achieve it. Or you don’t know what you want, not sure about your purpose in life… Ever thought how painful experiences can keep one fragmented and fearful, bound in invisible chains.

Or your relationships and love life seem an endless struggle. It makes you question yourself, your worth, casting a doubt over all the areas of your life. And it’s no surprise. As research shows, at the end of a lifetime all concluded that relationships are what matter the most and the biggest contributor to health and happiness.

Or you wonder what is the meaning of this life… Maybe you’ve made some bad choices and spiralled down. Now you feel so guilty about who you were and how you’ve acted that you don’t think you’re worth caring for yourself or giving yourself enough love. Or it’s the shame and belief you’re defect because of something that happened to you.

What is your story?


Change Might Be Scary, But It’s The Only Way Forward.


Remember, no matter your circumstances you have a right, an obligation even, to live a MEANINGFUL life and PURSUE it with a BRAVE heart and a CONFIDENT mind. Your life is a gift and if you are here, then it’s for a purpose.

The best part is that it is POSSIBLE. No matter your past, or your present, you can craft a different future. You can restore your zest for life, the feeling of joy, inner calm, confidence and excitement for what’s ahead.

About

Dauntless Minds is for those who want a different quality of life and are determined to achieve it.

Hi. I am Adela. An entrepreneur, thinker, creative and an incurable optimist dedicated to seeing you become the person you are designed to be & live the life of your dreams, that is a rich, fulfilling and meaningful one.

Today, I’m here to offer you…

therapeutic coaching for an inner life of harmony and true outer success.


I’m in the business of change – changing lives – one of the most difficult, yet fulfilling vocation. My work is not for the faint of heart. But I am a trader of hope, and I want to help you grow it exponentially.

I work privately on a long, medium or short-term basis – online with people worldwide, focusing on deep inner work to resolve past trauma that hinders their present & future goal pursuits, their relationships, or parenting.

In my work I use mostly IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy – a holistic and relational approach, with a laser-focused precision for the inner work of deep healing & thriving. And I am so glad to be able to offer this to my clients.

Over the years I’ve been integrating a number of theories and therapy models, among which the Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Psychosynthesis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) and eventually IFS, which brings it all together for a deep transformation at all levels: cognitive, emotional, somatic (body), spiritual and subconscious.

I hold a Masters (MS) degree in Psychological and Spiritual Counseling.ย  My post-graduate professional and personal development involves numerous trainings and hundreds of curated books going deep and wide in the field of psychology, inner work, and trauma, as well as overlapping fields of philosophy, coaching, business, spirituality and more areas for a better understanding of current reality.

When I’m not deep diving into the fascinating inner landscapes of the soul, you’ll find me hiking and exploring the outer wonders of the world.

INNER WORK for SELF LEADERSHIP

Through Healing To Thriving

If you’ve landed on this page, welcome! I have recently restructure how I deliver my services, so I invite you to read on before getting in touch via the BOOK NOW link.

First to know is this isnโ€™t another mindset coaching or surface-level strategies for managing your life better, nor traditional therapy.  I don’t tweak or improve your life, a little. 

I’m interested, and always have been, in longterm, lasting change. What I engage in is deep inner work for a full-spectrum recalibration for gifted individuals like you who are ready to live, lead, and love from a place of integration. This restructures your life.

Here I guide and support you in your own Inner Work, using Internal Family Systems (IFS) integrated with other modalities.  This can transform your relationships with yourself, your loved ones, God, how you parent, your success professionally, how much you earn financially & your lifestyle choices


There Are Only Two Days in a Year when Nothing Can Be Done.
One Is Yesterday and the Other Is Tomorrow.
Today Is Always In Your Hand – to Love, Believe and Shine Your Light.


THERAPY OR COACHING?

In my work I combine the best of both worlds, therapy and coaching. Let me share why.

As you perhaps know, psychotherapy mostly deals with past experiences. These usually power up our present anxieties, or a profound sadness, addictions that seem impossible to overcome, or our ongoing difficulty with relationships. I’ve spent a lifetime studying these landscapes.

Coaching is about achieving goals and is action and future oriented.  Typically, this is for those well-functioning and emotionally healthy, but wants to make some changes to their lives. It usually focuses on personal development, builds on existing strengths & helps overcome limiting beliefs. In my view, it anchors into hope, creativity and vision.

However, in my work I come across many high-achieving, high-earning individuals, who are high functioning and successful outwardly, but underneath carrying tremendous deep wounds that short-circuit their sense of happiness and fulfilment. There is this deep shadowy underlying current – perhaps you know what I’m talking about.

Also, what I have observed is, therapy tends to lack the forward action movement, while coaching often fails to address deeper issues in a deeper way, and the same issues tend to resurface in new ways or settings. 

That’s why I move across the full healing-thriving spectrum.

People need both. And there is a big advantage to getting both in one package.


Keep doing what you have always done, keep believing who you have always believed you are, and you will always get what you have always got.

WHO ARE MY CLIENTS?

My ideal clients are gifted, purpose-driven individuals who know they are made for more, yet frustrated they struggle with putting things off, often caught in cycles of procrastination, self-sabotage and or burnout, in relationship & work.

You most likely already tried traditional coaching or therapy, but see the need to go deeper to heal the root causes. So, you are fearless and determined to face your inner complex reality and the challenges of working thru emotionally charged wounds, aiming to grow in your self-knowledge and self-integration

My clients are leaders, who by virtue of their position will impact and make a difference in the lives of others. Also those who want to take leadership of their lives, their inner and outer world, and get into a place of Self-Leadership from inside out.

It doesn’t matter your age or background. What matters though is your commitment. If you’ve had enough and are determined to do what it takes to overcome, you’ve got it. 

Besides…


…this work can be done only if one truly wants to do it.


My clients are welcome as they are. It doesn’t matter how “messed up” you think you are, it matters that you don’t want to stay the same. We all have been exposed to various degrees of traumatising experiences throughout life, but it’s possible to heal those wounds.  

It doesn’t matter how successful or highly regarded you are, and how deep by contrast is your inner struggle – there is no shaming and no judgement here.

It’s possible to live with a sense of inner freedom, love and calm. It’s possible to find relevance, purpose and leave a meaningful legacy behind. Your past, nor your present, doesn’t have to dictate your future. And it’s never too late. 

HOW I WORK?

I aim to create a space of connection, compassion and vision, which is both therapeutic and action-oriented. I listen to your heart and your whole being. And it is amazing to witness the breakthrough inner shifts when two people sit together, speak, and listen from a space of safety and honesty, accessing the Inner Self Core of calm, curiosity and lovingkindness. The work further is enhanced and integrated by the follow-up perspectives and accountability check-ins outside our sessions. So that is something to expect. 

I go deep with precision, and attunement for the parts of you that are brilliant, and also burdened or exiled and aching to be seen, heard and integrated

I want to see you soar, so if we were to work together, apart from our weekly two hour sessions, I would expect you to commit to daily self-motivated transformational practices, such as reading and reflections, a physical routine and creative exercises, as well as spiritual ones. How committed are you to the process?  Most likely such high-demanding practice is not for everyone, or maybe this is already part of your life. 

Admittedly, this requires a high level of investment and intentional sustained effort, but itโ€™s likewise highly rewarding and worth it.  And in my experience, without exception, the best results and the most progress has happened when we allow the space for the process to unfold and come to a closure in a natural way. That’s why I have moved from the 50-60 minute sessions to two hour long sessions.

This deep coaching process leads to deeper self-integration and real structural changes.  But it takes TIME to work thru multiple complex issues and get to the core of it. As we progress we get to heal and integrate the wounding experiences in your life. This in turn frees up space for your creativity to flow and solutions to issues that matter to you to surface. There is a lightness and deep inner calm about your life.

Although fully healing early trauma can take a few years, a twelve month commitment is a good time frame where most major progress will be made. And if you’ve already done some work, a shorter term focus on particular issues might be your best choice.

One thing is true, as Steve Hardison, dubbed the Ultimate Coach said, when the commitment of the client meets the expertise & commitment of the coach, there is nothing that cannot be achieved.


I aim for results and I am for you.


REMEMBER…

You are a truly powerful and amazing person. It’s that sometimes you forget. We all do. And sometimes you will lose track of your fulfilment. Other times self-doubt will take over and make you think you’re crazy for actually pursuing your dreams or believing you’re more than what you currently identify with. Imagine having someone there to help you gain clarity and reconnect again and again to your amazing Self – who you truly are, to what you were born to do.

That means that sometimes your best thinking can be limiting you, and Iโ€™m going to speak the truth in your life. No matter who you are. Because I want the best for you. However, this will be a safe and encouraging space to engage, explore, and grow. For our relationship is a co-active alliance with you in the decision-making seat.


I love what I do and who I do it with…


…and this will show up in sessions. 

Our work is absolutely confidential and everything discussed is private and confidential. I follow the ACC and BACP ethical framework for confidentiality.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Deep Inner Work Coaching for Self Leadership comes in two options.

Option One –ย ยฃ6 700 for 12 sessions x two hour session over four months.
Option Two – ยฃ25 000 for 45 sessions x two hour session over twelve months.

I am fully available on Monday to Wednesday and Saturday (across all time zones).  I do not work on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

If you’ve read this far and resonate with my message I invite you to an initial consultation: This is a discovery call. During it I assess your situation, followed by an individualised plan based on your specific needs and goals. This can include working through past traumatic experiences, addressing mood issues like anxiety or depression, working through relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, developing life-giving practices, while healing deeper wounds – things that block your moving towards becoming and your goals in an aligned way.

Cancellations / Changes: If you need to cancel or reschedule a session please give as much notice as possible. 

Important: My coaching style and approach is highly involved and I emphasise direct, authentic and confidential communication right from the start of our relationship. So, I work with no more than five to seven clients at a time and a maximum of about twenty clients per year. This might not sound like a lot, but I need to keep good boundaries, so I can have the quality of presence and service I believe you deserve. Currently, I have two spots available.ย  I invite you to get in touch asap if you want to start working together within the next three months.

7 Questions to Make Your 2025 Rich & Far Reaching

7 questions to guide your commitments and goals this year. I found it useful to organise them in three parts: 1. looking back and evaluating my parkour so far, 2. being with how I honestly feel about it, and 3. becoming clear about where I’m going and what do I need to keep the momentum.
