Linda Fay
founder
In 2013, I established Life-Pod - a social enterprise Community Interest Company to provide practical help and therapeutic support for people with lived experience of chronic disorganisation and hoarding.
In 2015, I was very proud to have become the first UK practitioner to receive Chronic Disorganization Specialist® and Hoarding Specialist Certificates from the Institute for Challenging Disorganization.
In 2018, I hosted the first International Hoarding, Housing & Health Conference when I welcomed Dr Randy Frost as keynote speaker.
In 2022, I incorporated Hoarding Academy to provide a certified learning pathway to professional practice for multi-disciplinary professionals.

In December 2024, my book ‘A Pragmatic Approach to Chronic Disorganisation and Hoarding - using the DESIRE method’ will be published internationally by JKP Publishing.
Coming Soon!
“I have just finished reading your book, which is great. I especially like your chapters on engagement, harm reduction, and strengths-based approaches. It will be a great help to people who work with hoarding clients or are interested in doing so. They will learn a great deal.”
“You take a very positive and yet honest approach to the rewards and challenges in this field. I appreciate your ethics chapter and the one on language; both will give readers a clear picture of how to approach cases.”
~ Randy O. Frost, Harold Edward and Elsa Siipola Israel Professor Emeritus of Psychology
