Your Story,
Your Journey

Certain behaviours, such as hoarding, are often a way of coping with, and trying to heal, distress.  Holistic Hoarding offers a therapeutic space for you to explore this (should you choose to), so there is a wider understanding of what has led to the hoarding, and how we can support you with this without triggering re-traumatisation.

Training and Consultancy

Holistic Hoarding can work with your organisation to develop a bespoke training package that covers all aspects of hoarding and to empower those who hoard. Holistic Hoarding run CPD-accredited training courses that considers hoarding disorders in a holistic and therapeutic context.

Support Groups & Family Support

Our monthly support groups can introduce you to a new community in a safe, judgement-free space. Members can provide emotional and practical support. We are also setting up a family support group to help those who may be affected by this issue. 

1:1 Practical & Therapeutic Support, Relapse Prevention & Harm Reduction

No two hoarding situations are the same – We offer innovative and adaptable methods of support, completely led by you. Once our work has finished, please be reassured that you will not be left alone to maintain what you have achieved.  We offer free post-telephone support, and follow-up visits.

Our Ethos

Holistic Hoarding was established after observing the impact of house clearances on tenants, and how this often led to increased distress and more severe hoarding behaviour as a protective reaction to the process.  We recognise that having someone in your home - in what should be a safe space for you - is an incredibly brave step for anyone to take, and we will respect and support this at all times.

Publications

"To strip a person with hoarding disorder of their items,

of their identity,

and of their homes

is not the solution.

It never will be".

Eco-conscious

At Holistic Hoarding, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just decluttering; it embodies a philosophy of donating, not discarding. We understand that letting go of possessions can be challenging, which is why we strive to make the process easier by ensuring your items find new homes with those who truly need them. Our partnerships with various organizations, including those aiding families in poverty and individuals experiencing homelessness, guarantee that your donations will be met with gratitude and appreciation. To further our mission, we have appointed a dedicated sustainability caseworker focused on exploring innovative ways to keep items out of landfill while promoting ethical recycling practices. We honor our clients' wishes by facilitating donations to specific charities close to their hearts, ensuring that every item is handled with care and purpose. Together, we can create a positive impact on both our community and the environment, fostering a culture of giving that supports those in need.
