As a pioneering and campaigning Professional Organiser and Hoarding Practitioner with ADHD whose father had hoarding behaviours, I'm proud to be training the next generation of professional practitioners to help them understand that it’s not about the stuff, it’s about the people.My passion is to raise awareness of the health and safety issues associated with clutter, disorganisation and hoarding, and the challenges faced by people with Executive Functioning difficulties. It's why I created the Hoarding Ice-Breaker Form - so that people whose health has been adversely affected by these problems but are too embarrassed to speak about it, can get help by downloading the form, filling it in and using it to start a conversation with a medical professional - www.hoardingicebreakerform.org In Jo Cooke’s insightful book “Understanding Hoarding”, I explained about the emotional, physical, psychological and practical impact it can have on families, and created a diagram showing how the ADHD brain works in the context of clutter, disorganisation and hoarding. I’m proud to be a Trustee of the Fastminds ADHD Support Group in Kingston-upon-Thames; a Time To Change Champion; a Dementia Friend; a member of The National Fire Chief Council's Association’s Hoarding Working Group (we organised the first ever UK Hoarding Awareness Week in 2014, which was launched at the Houses of Parliament in London); a Member of Surrey's Multi-Agency Hoarding Taskforce, and to have held senior roles on the Board of The Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers (APDO).In my dim and distant past I've been (in reverse order) a Global IT Project Manager (Air Products plc); Marketer (sales promotion agency); PA Secretary to various Boards of Directors (incl.
