Asking for help and deciding to go for counselling can feel nerve racking and scary. People come from all different walks of life and there is no right or wrong reason for deciding counselling could be something that could help you. It could be something that feels quite insignificant for you or perhaps it is something that is feeling overwhelming and there is no space for anything else. Whatever it is, it seems important to me that you are reaching out by looking on here for some further help or support, please get in touch for an informal chat to see if i can help you.

Sometimes we reach a point in our life where feelings of anxiety or depression take over. Together we can explore what brought you to this point in a caring, non-judgmental and welcoming environment. We will look for any patterns or early decisions made in childhood and work towards making new ones that work better for you. I have found that the journey of psychotherapy is a challenging but very rewarding journey of self-exploration, self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Perhaps you have become frustrated with bringing about change in your life or maybe life events are beginning/continuing to cause you difficulties. You may be aware of thoughts or feelings about these - or experience them physically in your body. You may also feel stuck in trying to bring about change on your own, or to be different from how you experience yourself right now.

Hi, my name is Hope. I know, a pretty good name for a therapist! I am an Integrative Psychotherapist. My aim and approach in therapy is to help you find your own path to the life you wish to live. We are all uniquely different and have different reactions to life and life events. I can help you work through some things you might find difficult. For example: Anxiety; Depression; Trauma; Relationship Issues. In order to heal and progress, we must first understand our emotions, what they are and where they come from. From here can make decisions to do something different, to break the patterns that no longer serve us in our life.

Sometimes life can feel like a struggle, a struggle that you feel alone with. It doesn't matter how many people are around you or not, the feeling remains the same, isolation and a lack of support. Interactions with others may not feel authentic, they may bring up feelings of anxiety, a lack of safety or even feelings of deficiency or self-blaim. And the most confusing part is that your experience of yourself alone, or with others, makes little sense.

Hoarding Counsellors

What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?

Cognitive behavior 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.
