Hoarding support groups have proved successful in helping those with hoarding behaviour, as well as family and friends, know that they are not alone, and that support is available.

The Association of Professional De-clutterers & Organisers has an online directory which helps UK clients find a local member to suit their particular organising or decluttering needs. They may have de-clutterers in your area, but please be aware that not everyone specialises in working in hoarded properties, so do ask before arranging an appointment.

Support for those who have a hoarding problem and can receive practical help and advice to help with a hoarding habit. They can also help with support for de cluttering. Mainly online, but do have a telephone support helpline.
