(For individuals experiencing hoarding or disorganisation behaviours)
A focused, confidential one-to-one session designed to help you better understand your hoarding or disorganisation patterns. Together, we explore what may be driving the behaviour, identify emotional blocks, and begin building intrinsic motivation for change.
The aim is not to overwhelm you with tasks, but to help you leave with greater clarity, reduced shame, and realistic next steps that feel achievable and self-led.

(For family members, partners, or friends)
A structured conversation for those supporting someone with hoarding behaviours. This session provides specialist insight into the psychological and emotional drivers behind hoarding, alongside practical communication strategies that reduce defensiveness and conflict.
The goal is to help you respond with confidence, protect your own wellbeing, and create conditions that support intrinsic motivation rather than resistance.

(Individual + Loved One Together)
A professionally facilitated joint session designed to improve understanding, reduce tension, and reset communication. We work together to acknowledge the emotional impact on both sides while introducing collaborative strategies that prioritise safety, autonomy, and gradual change.

Our therapeutic guided sessions are structured, specialist conversations designed to support meaningful, sustainable change for individuals experiencing hoarding or chronic disorganisation.

Hoarding is rarely about clutter. It is usually connected to deeper emotional experiences, trauma, anxiety, loss, or coping strategies that once made sense.
This free guide helps individuals understand where hoarding behaviours come from, what is happening in the brain, and why change can feel so overwhelming. Most importantly, it reassures you that you are not broken — and that it is okay to ask for support.
If you are ready to explore your behaviour with compassion rather than shame, this guide is a gentle first step.
Loving someone who struggles with hoarding can be exhausting, confusing, and emotionally painful. Relationships can become strained, and it’s hard to know how to help without making things worse.
This guide explains the psychological and emotional difficulties behind hoarding, and offers practical, compassionate ways to reach out that encourage intrinsic motivation rather than resistance. It also outlines support options available for both your loved one and for you.
You cannot force change — but you can create the conditions that make change possible.
Introducing The Safe Space Group - First group Wednesday 18th March 2026
Based in Reading, Berkshire

This is a warm, relaxed drop-in space where you can come for a chat, listen, share if you want to, or simply sit with others who understand. There’s no judgement and no pressure — just people supporting people.
