Holistic Hoarding, Cardiff, Cardiff (2026)

Hoarding behaviours are often shaped by trauma, loss, and lived experience, so when support focuses only on risk or compliance, it can often unintentionally increase distress and leave people more vulnerable 😓

A trauma-informed approach recognises that behaviours develop for a reason and that effective support must protect safety while also preserving dignity, trust and emotional wellbeing. It allows practitioners to work in ways that reduce harm and support lasting change, rather than repeating crisis-led interventions.

Our upcoming CPD Accredited Trauma-Informed Approaches to Hoarding Behaviours training covers:

🌿Hoarding behaviour in a holistic and therapeutic context.
🌿Alternatives to house clearances and eviction.
🌿What a trauma informed approach is and the part it plays in attaining positive, long-term results.
🌿How to implement a trauma-informed strategy into professional practice when supporting clients.

If you are interested in taking part, it is online on Friday 30th January 10am - 1pm and tickets are available here: https://holistic-hoarding.co.uk/trauma-informed-approaches/

PSA.. there’s no need to sprint into the new year🐢💚

You don’t need to have everything figured out, set endless goals or suddenly become a morning person just because it’s January. If you’ve managed to feed yourself something other than chocolate and put on clothes that aren’t pyjamas, congratulations, you’re already crushing it🐸🌟

And never something to be ashamed of..🧸💛

We want to say a massive thank you to everybody that has supported us during the launch of our Hoarding Assessment Tool in Children’s Homes(H.A.T.C.H) this week, the response has been more than we could have ever imagined.

One of our biggest aims for H.A.T.C.H is to reinforce the importance of an empathetic, and humanised, approach when supporting families, helping practitioners to work collaboratively with the family to understand their needs and ensure that children have safe, supportive spaces to grow and thrive. The overwhelming, positive feedback already received gives us so much hope that it will be effective in achieving this💛🐣

If you have any queries or questions about using H.A.T.C.H, please feel free to send them through to education@holistic-hoarding.co.uk 💌

✨🐣 Just one week to go until our Hoarding Assessment Tool in Children’s Homes(HATCH) is released! 🐣✨

As we countdown to the launch happening on Monday 1st December, let’s celebrate Amy our Family Caseworker, who is the incredible mind and heart behind HATCH🌟

With over 15 years’ experience in healthcare, spanning autism, learning disabilities, elderly care, children and families, and mental health, Amy has a remarkable ability to connect with people of all ages, especially children.

She brings this expertise into her work with the families we support who are experiencing hoarding challenges, creating fun, age-appropriate sessions that help turn what could be a difficult journey into something positive and manageable, ensuring the children involved feel safe, understood and able to thrive💛

It’s this hands-on experience and deep understanding of families’ needs that inspired Amy to create the HATCH tool, which is designed to support practitioners and families in building safer, more nurturing home environments.

❗️ There are still a few spaces left at the free launch seminar happening on Monday 1st December at 1-2pm, where Amy, alongside our director Kayley, will give an insight into the impact of hoarding on children and purpose, structure and practical use of the HATCH tool🐥

Every day, we show up for others, but to do that sustainably, we must also show up for ourselves 🌿💚

Your wellbeing matters just as much as the people you support, and when you create space for rest, reflection, and renewal, you are able to show up clearer, calmer, and more grounded in your practice🧘🏼‍♀️
