Hoarding Awareness Week 2025

Hoarding Awareness Week 2025 is approaching, and my initiative Clear Skies 2025, is committed to shining the light on Hoarding Disorder in Oxfordshire.

In collaboration with Clouds End CIC and Cottsway Housing Association, the goal is to provide support and understanding to anyone whose life is affected by this condition.

I’m Vi Barling, the founder of Declutterbugz and the creator of the Hoard Halt programs. As a Master Practitioner in transformative techniques, including neurolinguistic programming and hypnotherapy, I specialize in assisting individuals dealing with hoarding behaviours and chronic disorganization. My approach focuses on addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of these behaviours and developing personalized strategies to break the cycle of accumulation.

Hoard Halt offers structured programs tailored to support individuals on their decluttering journey:

• Hoard Halt Journey: An 18-month program designed to address both the physical clutter and the underlying emotional barriers, promoting lasting change.
• Hoard Halt Trip: A 6-month online program focusing on emotional barriers, utilizing hypnotherapy, coaching, and goal-setting processes.

Beyond these programs, I host also present a radio show on WRFM a local radio station for Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. The Vi Life is a weekly show, transmitting on Saturdays at 11am – 12pm, dedicated to health, wellbeing, and local information. I share insights and offer local information to listeners.

During Hoarding Awareness Week, I hope to have the backing of WRFM and the local community to further amplify the conversation and provide resources to those in need.
