Welcome

Have you reached a point where even the small things feel hard? Do you feel you are doing everything you can but there’s a steady hum of ‘something is not quite right’? Tired of masking? Overthinking? Or always putting others first? Take a deep breath – you have come to the right place. You are not broken, you are human.

Working Together to Rediscover Your Authentic Self

I’m Ines Scillitoe and in my counselling practice, Intrinsic Self Therapy I offer a safe, calm, compassionate and non-judgemental space. Here you can speak honestly, make sense of your thoughts and feelings. Explore what’s happening in your life. We will work together to support and coach you in overcoming anxiety, depression, and life’s ups and downs with kindness, clarity, care, and gentle challenge.

Together, we will find your own authentic path forward, one that feels real, ground and whole and for you to explore, heal, and rediscover your authentic self.

As a neurodivergent therapist, I see my lived experience as a genuine strength. I have a deep understanding of what it means to navigate a world with different wiring. For me, therapy isn’t about labels or fixing, it’s about being fully human. It’s about making sense of your struggles and pain, understanding your patterns, and finding ways forward through coaching that truly work for you. Read more about my approach and  how I work. I am  professionally qualified and an experienced therapist accredited with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
