Our guest, Violet Barling, is a qualified counsellor and transformative coach who has dedicated her career to helping individuals overcome hoarding behaviors through her specialized program, Hoard Halt.
Hoarding, if left unaddressed, can lead to serious health and safety concerns, damage to property, and a lack of effective use of living space. For housing associations, these challenges translate into costly maintenance, repairs, and legal issues, not to mention the emotional and physical toll on the residents themselves.

Violet’s approach is rooted in empathy and practical solutions, ensuring that people suffering from hoarding feel supported and understood as they work through their challenges.
Tune in for a conversation that sheds light on a complex issue that affects many but is often overlooked in housing discussions.
