Dauntless Minds is for those who want a different quality of life and are absolutely determined to achieve it.
Hi. I am Adela. An entrepreneur, thinker, artist and an incurable optimist dedicated to seeing you become the person you are designed to be & live the life of your dreams, if that is a rich, fulfilling and meaningful one.
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. Today, I’m here to offer you…
…counseling and coaching for a life of inner balance and success.
As a counsellor I offer private counselling on a long, medium or short-term basis. Although currently based in Darlington, I work mostly online with people worldwide.
My degree is in Psychological and Spiritual Counseling.
In my work I use IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy, a fascinating approach going deep with laser-focused precision, yet holistic and relational. And I’m very excited 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), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT). For more see psychologytoday.com
Being a member of the ACC professional body in the UK, I follow its Ethics and Practice Framework, as well the BACP Ethical Framework.
Please contact me – we will have a brief talk and book your first session. Or click get started for more specific information.
As a coach I work in the areas of life coaching, relationship coaching, business coaching, and leadership.
In coaching I also Integrate IFS with the ontological approach for a deep transformational experience, moving one to lead from the Inside Out. And I adhere to the ICF code of ethics.
Investing in your well-being is one of the best decisions.
Why Dauntless Minds?
The mind is the bedrock of our decision making. But our minds are designed to keep us safe often by keeping the status quo.
Not only that… the idea of our internal multiplicity of sub-personalities, each with its own mind, has been noticed long time ago. Plato in The Republic talks about the soul being divided into parts just like a city is divided into different social classes that thrive only when justice and harmony reign among them. You know the conflicting thoughts and voices in your head: part of me feels hurt by what he said, yet part of me thinks I should not take it too seriously, yet another part wants to punch him in the face.
So, it takes a bold and fearless stand to decide to seek change, to overcome adversity, take responsibility and get your life transformed so that there is harmony and good energy.
This transformation is the cornerstone to success in anything, to dreams becoming true, to reaching goals, to happy relationships and meaningful living for each individual. And this wasn’t always the case for me…
tag: there is always a way out. a solution. a breakthrough.
I have come to believe that understanding the secrets of a dauntless mind and the power it holds in the face of obstacles, internal and external, is key to creating a truly amazing life. And this mindset is available to anyone willing.
Curiosity & Courage instead of fear. Approach and challenge.
I’ll use my life as an example, although many greater people testify to the same. I had to overcome some very humble beginnings, a negative environment, daunting experiences, moving to a new country, starting from square one, a sick fear of rejection, then failure, and just overwhelm with life at some point.
Yet somehow giving up never crossed my mind. I was determined to ride these waves and thrive, with curiosity and courage. Intuitively, I believed there is always a way out and always learned from each storm. By God’s grace, I live a very different life. And for a while I wasn’t even aware of it.
I recall someone asking me: “How did you form like this? How did you become this way?” and I just could not understand what they are talking about. If I ever wanted to be outstanding, I was standing out somehow. But how?
The thing is that I wanted to BE a certain way, the best we can be at our core, and that is what I pursued and talked about. I join alongside many great thinkers in the belief that…
…there is a greater need for people to BE rather than to DO or HAVE, because the first will determine the rest.
There is a transformation journey to BECOME who we are designed to BE. And it starts with the transformation of our MINDS. If we seek to BE the best we can, it’s all gain, even from the pain. After all, isn’t that the narrative of many good
Why Counseling and Coaching?
I love seeing people soar, overcome, succeed, become their best. Often I see amazing people, talented, smart, yet some past emotional wounds or false beliefs keep them “stuck”. Sometimes they give up on their dreams. Even their lives. Yet, in reality, every pain has an end, and every situation has a way out. Every failure can be turned into victory. Every destructive thought can be dissolved and replaced. Everything can be figured out. And what seemed impossible is possible. I couldn’t state that enough.
Every pain has an end… every situation – a way out,
every destructive thought can be dissolved and replaced.
Before I could help others, this helped me. Understanding why I feel the way I feel, why I think the way I think, facing squarely the pain, the disconnected feelings and false beliefs, admitting that some things might never change, and mourning the losses, I made the decision to seek healing and a different quality of life.
When I went into exploring coaching to see how it fits in, I’ve realized I’ve experienced it more than anything. It is what catalyzed a lot of my personal growth and drew out the best parts in me for achieving the best results and moving on. Coaching builds on strengths and thru honest feedback it transforms a mindset from self-defeating thinking patterns to new “winning” thought structures.
Also, I have seen the transforming impact of faith and how spirituality can bring about breakthrough change. Spirituality is an intrinsic part our our lives, as the core of our being, the Self, the Soul, is spiritual. Many interventions in psychotherapy tap into that which can be experienced in a faith community. For ex. the worshipful body position and singing, outpouring one’s heart in prayer, mindful meditation, healing expressed in bodily releases of trauma, transformative teachings, since what you believe, think and tell yourself will change you, your brain structure. And the latest discoveries in neuroscience and quantum physics testify to all these.
So, I’ve seen my life changed and helped others see their lives turn around. My conclusion?
None of this happens without a pinch of CURIOSITY (maybe it’s possible for me too), FAITH to carry on (I believe I can fly) and COURAGE to face the darkness (some things are tough and dark to face, but I will be brave). And this is where it starts.
