A professional organiser is an expert in decluttering and organising spaces to create calm and manageable spaces for everyone. So Organised with Sam specialises in transforming homes to make your life easier. We help you efficiently declutter and sort your belongings then create systems that make sense for your lifestyle, bringing order and calm to your home. My ultimate goal is for you to love your home and everything in it!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by clutter, struggling to find missing items, or finding it hard to maintain an organised space, professional organising services can be life-changing. Whether you need help with a specific area like your kitchen, wardrobe, or garage, or you’re looking for complete organisation of your home, So Organised with Sam is here to support you. With Sam’s coaching you will decide on what stays and what goes, make an exit plan for your unwanted items and it will be done with support and advice from Sam with zero judgement. Everyone deserves to love their home so let’s bring your home vision and goals to life!

I can help you identify why this may have not been maintainable in the past. It could be a number of reasons but rest assured I can help you get back on track and leave you with strategies for looking after your investment.

Your involvement is entirely up to you. I can work collaboratively with clients, or I can take the lead and handle the categorising and organising independently. However, the responsibility for deciding what stays and what goes must be done together but don’t worry I will guide and support you throughout the decision making.

In my experience, it is better to wait until you have completed the declutter part of the session to understand the exact storage requirements. However, in some instances, where a new piece of furniture is required, it is useful to have this ready ahead of time. Your individual requirements can be discussed during the consultation.

Absolutely not! Working with Sam means it is all about you. It needs to work for you. It is important that you feel empowered to keep the things that are useful and special to you and to let go of the things that are holding you back. You are in control every step of the way.

I will take donations to the charity shop for you and we give advice on recycling, or disposal of other unwanted items, ensuring that they are handled responsibly and ethically. Rest assured that during the session we will make an exit plan for anything you are not keeping. I want to guarantee that it is as easy as possible for you to clear your space and not leave you with too much follow-up tasks.

The most popular package is the 24 hour package which gives you access to your preferred dates (4 x 6hrs OR 6 x 4hrs) at the discounted price of £840 – saving £120! The hourly rate is £40. Bookings of 4 hours or 6 hours are charged at £160 and £240 respectively.

Working with So Organised with Sam gives you way more than an organised home. You’re investing in your own confidence and the peace of mind that you can take back control of your home. The time you will save when your home is decluttered and organised is freedom that money cannot buy. It is no exaggeration when I say this is a life-changing investment in your home.

Absolutely! We offer packing and unpacking services as part of our home moving service. We can efficiently declutter during the packing process, and unpack them in your new home, helping you settle in quickly and effortlessly. 

So Organised with Sam travels to clients all over Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, and Angus. However, I am willing to provide services throughout Scotland for those who need my help. For areas that are over 30 miles from Stonehaven, a fee of £0.45 per mile will be charged and there is even the option of using hotel accommodation to maximise the time available to the client while minimising travel costs.

Getting started is easy! Simply reach out to us through our contact page or give us a call. We’ll schedule an initial consultation to discuss your needs, goals, and preferences. This can take place via phone call, video call or as a home visit. From there, we’ll create a personalised plan and guide you through the booking process, ensuring an organised and stress-free experience.

Declutter coaching is one-to-one guidance and support to help you make progress in your home without overwhelm. Instead of coming to your home, I coach you through the process online by giving you practical advice and accountability so you can make progress at your own pace.

In-home session are where we work together in person, where I physically sort and organise your belongings with you. Declutter coaching gives you the tools, encouragement and focus to tackle your space but with me there to support you and cheer you on virtually. I keep you accountable and help you shift through any mindset blockers.

This is exactly what coaching helps! If you are feeling stuck, I help you break things down into simple, manageable steps and help you decide where to start. We make a plan together so that you don’t have to worry about putting your energy into the wrong thing or wasting time. Remember it’s about progress, not perfection!

Let's be clear on this... You cannot make spaces function or look pretty until you've done a declutter. Without removing the items you no longer need, you feel like the area needs your constant attention to keep it in check. I know that decluttering can feel hard sometimes and if you're anything like me you cant wait to get everything put away in containers. But...decluttering is essential! Not only will it make organising simplier but it will also be far easier to maintain a beautifully organised space. And who doesn't want to save time by no longer having to look for things and save money from no longer buying duplicates because you couldn't see that you already had it. Make sure you follow along for more tips from me to get you out of the chaos and into the calm 💜 #DeclutteringMotivation #DeclutteringTips #DeclutterYourHome #HomeOrganisation #ProfessionalOrganiserScotland #DeclutterAberdeen
