Help with hoarding

Hoarding is when someone finds it very difficult to part with possessions, regardless of their value. Items can build up over time and make it harder to use parts of the home safely and comfortably.

 

Hoarding is often linked to difficult life experiences, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, or other emotional challenges. It is not simply being untidy or collecting things.

 

Many people who hoard feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or worried about being judged. Non-judgemental support is available to support Havering residents regain choice and control.
