Be the change you want to see.
Become a person you'd be proud to know.
Become empowered to effectively navigate your life and relationships by becoming an authentic and effective communicator, fulfilling your unique potential and minimising regrets.

DARE TO BE
EXTRAORDINARY

Feeling lost or trapped? At a crossroads in your relationships or emotional development. Even the strongest among us can feel stuck, unsure, ambivalent, or unhappy at times.


I am Dido Blagden; Life Coach & Counsellor and my greatest passion and privilege is alchemising  an individual's potential by developing their self-awareness, intuition and effective communication skills and coping resources.

 

Living life according to your own values and speaking your truth makes you thrive in your relationships and  helps you become optimally authentic, functional and fulfilled. 

 

By accessing your  Higher Self (Inner Wisdom) and learning healthy coping mechanisms and life skills, you gain confidence and courage. Building your confidence and courage will ensure you manifest your goals and aspirations whilst managing risk and minimising regret

 

DTBX Life Coaching's exciting (and challenging) process empowers you to navigate life and your relationships with enthusiasm and purpose, and lead a rich and rewarding life.

Dare to be extra-ordinary...
Become your authentic you, by unlearning who 'they' told you to be, and re-writing the narrative and re-wiring the belief system you adopted.
You are a self-fulfilling prophecy and become the story you tell yourself most often...

 

Allow me (using a multi-disciplinary proactive, Trauma-informed approach) to support you on this part of  your journey towards living your most authentic life of purpose. Let us discover what ignites your passion, joy and peace. Let's find your place in the world  where you make a difference and are valued. It is time to Let go of baggage that no longer serves you. So often that baggage becomes luggage we drag for life (most of of it is not yours to carry anyway). Learn the power of living in the present. Every second is a second chance to reinvent yourself and transform your life. Leave the tepid comfort zone, that stagnant rut, whether it's a dead-end relationship, unfulfilling  career or something you long for but are too afraid to seek. It is time to transform your life from ordinary to EXTRAordinary.

​

Having worked with many organisations, institutions, professionals and individuals,
I realised there are 3 core areas of struggle:

  1.  Self worth and self-mastery - recognising your own unique value and values. I use a strength-focused approach which centres on your unique experience and strengths. You are not "sick" or "crazy" - you are a product of what has happened to you and how you dealt with it. The focus is on empowerment and building resilience, effective communication and coping strategies and supportive networks thereby fostering a sense of competence and confidence through self-management, discipline, and insight.

  2. Communication and connection – Intimate/ significant relationships are the cornerstone to our lives and the quality of our lives is only as good as the quality of the relationships we keep. Effective communication is essential to forge authentic connection.

  3. Safety and Belonging – knowing that we matter, are appreciated and make a difference. We need both roots and wings.... roots to stay grounded and wings to be courageously creative and take risks.
     

Here are some of the ways I endeavour to help clients to take back their power and to transform their own life from ordinary to extraordinary.

  1. Recognise your own unique strengths, coping strategies and creative talents - they have already got you this far in life.

  2. Gain awareness and insight into your self-limiting beliefs and  less adaptive habits and behaviours, and consciously choose  more resilient and  effective coping strategies and skills

  3. Go from being an actor on the sidelines of your life to being the director of your own movie, the master of your own destiny and an innovator not an imitator.

  4.  Break the Cycle of Abuse - empowerment is not about POWER but rather courage, resilience, humility, setting healthy boundaries.

  5. Go from feeling unsafe, disconnected or displaced to empowering yourself (developing competence, confidence and resilience) and building the support network you need to feel safe , valued and worthwhile.

  6. Go from a place of pain, guilt and regret (depression) or worry and fear (anxiety) to a place of courage, joy and abundance in the here and now.

  7. Fulfil your own authentic potential and destiny with courage, joy and purpose, living life with gratitude and hope (not in fear and regret)

  8. Learn transformative  Alchemical Communication skills to transform your relationships and forge authentic heart-centred intimate connection.

  9. ​Learn self mastery, self awareness, confidence and discipline so that your emotions, communication and behaviours make the most impact, and are in alignment with your goals.

  10. Transform your networking, marketing and business acumen by learning how to read a room and developing your observation skills and emotional intelligence.

Tarot Card Reading is an intuitive tool I use to help, heal, empower, enlighten, and mentor my clients. It is guided by Source, (God, Higher Self, Christed Consciousness, The Creator, Mother Nature,  Isness...) with love, light and hope; with the benevolence of the universe and the divinity that lives within; and only for the highest and greatest good and in  accordance with Divine Will to help my client become aware, enlightened and fully illuminated with love and compassion on their life journey.

As above, So below! As within, so without! As the Universe, so the soul! And so it is - Amen​​

Having been involved as a counsellor, volunteer, educator, and care giver at different times in my life I have grown from simply wanting to 'be the change I want to see' and 'being a voice for the voiceless' to GIVING a voice to the voiceless and empowering empaths to continue to do the good that they do.

 

I have not only experienced, but have also seen the effects of "the cost of caring" which is an occupational hazard for many helpers, healers, frontline responders and carers- Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Traumatisation (sometimes insidious, sometimes devastating). The  COMFORT PROJECT  aims at both building and restoring Compassion Fortitude and resilience in people in caring/ helping/nurturing professions or roles. My heart is always with the empaths, the altruists, the humanitarians, the philanthropists, the healers, the teachers, the nurturers, the front line responders and the visionaries!
