Q: What happens during a decluttering session?
A:We start by talking through what's frustrating you and how you'd like your space to work day to day, then agree a storage plan for what you're keeping. From there it's hands on - working through it together, deciding what stays and what goes, with bags on hand for waste, recycling and charity. We finish with practical tips so the systems we've put in place are easy to keep up.

Q: What's the difference between an organiser and a declutterer?
A: Decluttering and organising get used interchangeably, but they're not the same thing. Decluttering is about making decisions on what to keep and letting go of what you don't need, responsibly and without guilt. Organising is what comes after - creating storage and systems that actually work for how you live, so the clutter doesn't just creep back in.

You need one to make the other last: declutter without organising and you're left with less stuff but no system to keep it that way. I do both in the same session.

​

Q: Where do we start?
A: Wherever is bothering you most. Tackling the area causing you the most stress first gives you a quick, visible win - and that sense of achievement usually carries you through the rest of the home. Sometimes I will see an area that needs decluttering or organising to make room for items in the area you want to clear and will explain and agree with you how we proceed.

​

Q: I'm embarrassed about how messy my home has got. Will you judge me?
A: Absolutely not and please don't be embarrassed. No need to tidy up before I arrive like you possibly would do for a cleaner! Every client thinks their home is the worst one I'll have seen - it never is, and it wouldn't matter if it was. Every session is completely confidential and non-judgemental. Getting in touch is usually the hardest part - everything after that gets easier.

Q: Will you make me throw things away?
A: Never. Nothing goes without your say so. My role is to support you in making your own decisions and help you let go of what no longer serves you - not to stand over you with a bin bag.
