Introducing the lovely Robyn O’Connell, a Trainee Clinical Psychologist who’s researching the experiences of people who have clutter in their homes, as part of her PhD at the University of East London.
She’s writing a thesis entitled “Rethinking ‘hoarding’ and its treatment: An exploration of experiences of people who have lots of belongings“.
Her aim is to develop understanding of how clutter can be managed, and identify ways to improve treatment services.
And she’s looking for people to take part in anonymised in-depth interviews. Interviewees will receive a £10 voucher of their choice as a thank you.
There’s more information here.
