This study aimed to explore the experiences of a sample of people who identify as engaging in hoarding behaviours and who are seeking support. Exploring motivation to seek help, the barriers those who hoard face in accessing support and what facilitates accepting help, can aid understanding of how best to intervene.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1352465823000425_as2\">\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight individuals who self-identified as seeking help in relation to hoarding behaviours were recruited via social media and support groups.

The four group experiential themes identified were Wrestling with identity; Who can I trust?; Services don\u2019t fit; and Being overlooked: \u2018they\u2019re too busy looking at the thing, not the person\u2019. Difficulties trusting others and services were identified; services were experienced as rejecting and many participants sought help for problems other than their hoarding. Problems accessing appropriate help for hoarding were predominant in the narratives, although participants who had accessed peer support described this as valuable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1352465823000425_as4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There are both internal (e.g. fear of judgement; feeling overwhelmed) and external (e.g. service gaps) barriers that make finding useful help for hoarding behaviours very difficult.
