Our Steps

Our 5-Step Process for Hoarding Recovery

Our years of experience confirm that successful hoarding recovery requires a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach. That’s why we’ve developed a 5-step process involving mental health counsellors, psychosocial recovery coaches, and mentors to ensure long-term success:

This strategic allocation of resources allows us to provide comprehensive services while protecting against relapse and preventing the return of hoarding behaviours, thereby ensuring a successful and sustainable recovery.

A psychosocial recovery coach works with clients to help them apply the emotional and psychological lessons learned in therapy. They provide ongoing emotional support, motivation, and guidance as clients work through the decluttering process. Their role is essential in helping clients maintain their progress and prevent relapse.

BCOGNITIVE is a registered provider under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). We work with individuals who experience hoarding behaviours as part of their disability.

The duration of the recovery process depends on the individual’s specific situation.

Yes, relapse prevention is a core part of our approach. After the home is decluttered, we continue providing coaching and check-ins to ensure clients maintain a clutter-free environment. Our psychosocial recovery coaches and mental health mentors help clients build the skills and habits necessary to prevent hoarding behaviours from returning.

Once significant progress has been made in decluttering, our team arranges for professional cleaners to deep clean the home. This step ensures the house is restored to a safe, sanitary, and livable condition.

Hoarding Clean-up

Following decluttering, we thoroughly clean up the area to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment. This includes disposing of garbage, cleaning up debris, and in more severe cases, performing forensic cleans to ensure your space is not just clean but healthy.
But we don’t stop there. We understand that hoarding can stem from complex mental health issues. Our team of mental health professionals will be there to provide ongoing support, helping you navigate the emotional journey of decluttering and maintaining a healthier living environment.
