About Me – Brigitte Hoare, Specialist Occupational Therapist
I’m Brigitte Hoare, a qualified Occupational Therapist with over 20 years’ experience in adult mental health services and a deep professional and personal understanding of hoarding disorder.
​
My journey began when a close friend struggled with hoarding difficulties, sparking my determination to understand and help. Professionally, I’ve worked with many people whose hoarding was linked to mental health conditions, and I saw a clear need for specialist, compassionate support. That’s why I founded Red Squirrel – to fill this gap.
How I Support People with Hoarding Disorder
My approach is not about forcing you to throw things away. Instead, I focus on helping you achieve your own goals and create an environment that supports them.
I work with you to:
-
Build trust and understand your unique story.
-
Identify how your home environment may be affecting your wellbeing.
-
Support families and carers in understanding hoarding behaviours.
-
Advise professionals on best-practice approaches to working with hoarding.
My Professional Standards
As a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), I adhere to strict professional codes of conduct. All support is completely discreet and confidential – I understand the embarrassment and stigma that can surround hoarding disorder, and my service is designed to be respectful and private.
