When someone you care about has a clutter problem or hoarding disorder, it can be concerning 

not to mention frustrating for those those care about them.

​

If you family member or friend is ready to receive help, then contact me to discuss how I can help by clicking here.

Prices can be viewed here.

​

If the person experiencing clutter is not willing, nor feels ready to access support yet I cannot get involved.

However that doesn't mean that there's nothing you can do to help.

​

A great resource for you is the book 'Understanding Hoarding' by Jo Cooke here:

​

They can print off a hoarding disorder icebreaker form here which they can take to their GP to request help.

​

Cluttered homes are at risk of fire, so contact your local Fire and Rescue service and ask for a home check,

they may be able to install smoke detectors to minimise risk.

​

Do not enforce a clear, thinking this will help. This is very traumatic and can actually make things worse. The root of the problem is very rarely regarding the stuff. Try just being a friend, and listen to them talk. Knowing someone is there to support without judgement or 'taking over' really is a very good starting point for change.

​

A few points to remember:

Don't throw things away without consent.

Do listen to what they are telling you.

Get psychological support where possible - ie Mental Health/GP/Bereavement services

Help them to create safe walkways/keep doorways clear (stackable boxes may minimise the risk of 'avalanche').

Get fire safety awareness.
