I am an experienced and compassionate counsellor with a person-centred and strengths based approach to counselling. I offer a non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood and I work on the premise that you as the client have your own innate wisdom to draw on​. As such, I don't impose my ideals and beliefs onto you, but rather support you to draw on your own strengths and wisdom. I have found clients are then able to see the path before them and the steps they need to take to make the changes they are seeking.

I believe that establishing a trusting relationship in therapy is the foundation from which all change springs forward. Research strongly supports this. I believe that through creating a space rooted in understanding and acceptance with a therapist, one can construct meaning around emotional struggles, successes and feelings of failure, dreams and fears. This process can, and often does, translate into gradual relief from symptoms. I have extensive experience working with people suffering from depression and anxiety, perinatal mental health difficulties, PTSD and personality disorders.

Hoarding Counsellors

What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.

How long does therapy for hoarding take?

Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.

Are there medications for hoarding?

The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.

Can hoarding come back after treatment?

Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
