The Inside Intrusive Team

Keith Neville

I’m Keith. I’m an integrative psychotherapist, specialising in CBT, attachment and person-centred theory. I have my own lived experience of OCD, and have worked with dozens of clients with their own experiences of intrusive thoughts, rumination and associated compulsions. I know life can get better, even when it feels it never will.

Jessica Eden

Hi I am Jess! I am a UK-based integrative therapist/counsellor specialising in anxiety disorders and OCD, and the host of the Anxious & Capable podcast.

I have lived experience of anxiety, intrusive thoughts and I am really passionate about helping people understand what’s happening in their minds, respond differently to fear, and build a life that’s guided by their values rather than OCD.

Shawna Biron

Hello, my name is Dr. Shawna Biron. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a PhD in Social Sciences, with my doctoral research focused on healing, and I have spent my career working in private practice, and public health and mental health systems.

As someone from British Columbia, Canada, who was recently diagnosed with OCD but suffered decades in silence and isolation, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience of the immense challenges, recovery, and also the growth and healing of my OCD. I am grateful to be part of your OCD journey.

Natalie Altman

I’m Natalie, a PR professional from London. I’ve been in the industry for five years (since graduating from university) and I absolutely love it.

I’ve had OCD and health anxiety for as long as I can remember and have had approximately 10 therapists/ counsellors/ psychologists.

I’ve also previously been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I absolutely love my life and am engaged to my incredibly supportive fiancé. We actually starred in a new Channel 5 documentary ‘Do You Have OCD?’ earlier this year.

I feel incredibly lucky that I can thrive despite having severe health anxiety and OCD – I want to encourage others to access help and talk to people so that they can do the same.

Additionally, people have always been shocked to find out I struggled and I want people to know that you can have it all on the outside (amazing family, friends, social life, good job) and still suffer. I want to encourage people to break the stigma and feel empowered to talk about it. After all, a problem shared is a problem halved.

Zachary James

Hi I am Zac! I’m a mental health advocate and have been fortunate to receive multiple awards for my online advocacy page, OCDestigmatize, where I share my journey to recovery from OCD, substance abuse, and depression.

Today, I consider myself recovered from OCD, and I run workshops where I share my lived experience to help break down stigma and reduce the shame that so many people feel around OCD.

Katie Rytchalov

Hi, I’m Katie! I’m an OCD advocate and founder of @the_ocdproject. A platform where I used my lived experience to break the stigma, share the realities of OCD, and support others affected by the condition.

I am excited to be part of the Inside Intrusive team and continue to use my lived experience with OCD to remind people others that they are not alone, and that recovery is possible.

Georgia Edwards

Hi, I’m Georgia. I’m 24, live in Dorset, and I’m training to become an integrative counsellor. My passion for counselling comes from my own experience of living with OCD and Ulcerative Colitis.

For many years, I felt isolated and overwhelmed by my mental and physical health. Through education, therapy, and the support of others, I’ve learned that recovery isn’t about never struggling. It’s about understanding yourself, asking for help, and moving forward with self compassion.

I’m excited to be part of Inside Intrusive, helping to raise awareness of OCD and remind people that they are not alone. I hope my personal and professional experiences help others see that OCD doesn’t have to define their future and that recovery is possible.

Helen Cawley

Hi, I’m Helen. I’m a Psychotherapist with 13 years of experience working within the NHS. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), which allows me to tailor my approach to the individual and their experiences.

One of the things I enjoy most about my work is getting to know people and hearing their stories. I believe that understanding a person’s experiences, values, and challenges is an important part of helping them move forward. My approach is warm, friendly, and non-judgemental, and I aim to create a space where people feel comfortable being themselves.

I have a particular interest in OCD and enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences. A big part of my work involves normalising the thoughts and feelings that can often leave people feeling isolated or misunderstood. I’m passionate about helping people develop a different relationship with anxiety and uncertainty, while recognising that many of the experiences OCD latches onto are simply part of being human.

Jay Deakin

My name is Jay and I have lived with OCD most of my life and I also found out I am autistic a few years ago. Contamination, harm, magical thinking and Body Dismorphia are some of the main themes I have currently, however I have experienced a lot of different themes over the years.

I run my own men’s mental health organisation called TALKHUB C.I.C which I set up in February 2020 to help men through walk and talks, football, boxing and various other activities. Alongside this I am passionate about raising awareness around OCD and share my story to help others to understand what OCD really is.

I am a massive Everton fan and follow them home and away every week! I used to be an amateur boxer and I love training whether that be boxing, running, kettlebells or playing football.

A favourite quote of mine that a friend once said to me when I was feeling low has always stuck with me ” You’ve got through a 100% of your bad days”
