What It’s Like to Work with a professional organiser

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by clutter and don’t know where to start, I’m here to help! Working with me is a simple, supportive process that reduces the stress of decluttering and gives you the accountability that you need to create a calm and organised home. Here’s what you can expect when we work together.

It all starts with a chat where we can get to know each other. This can be done in person at your home or virtually if that works better for you.

I am a good listener so during the consultation I invite you to tell me all about your home and the areas that are not working for you. This is a good opportunity for you to shake off any embarrassment. I have visited many homes and I never judge you or your situation because I think everyone deserves to have a home that feels calm, functional and works for them.

The main purpose of this consultation is to help you understand your goals for your home so we discuss what your goals are, and which areas of your home you’d like to focus on. I’ll also ask about your lifestyle, who lives in your home, and how you use your space so I can fully understand the best ways to help you. This is also your opportunity to ask me anything. If you choose to make an investment in your home and mental wellbeing, then we will get started!

When I arrive, we’ll have a quick discussion to confirm our plan for the day. You can show me around the house, and we’ll make sure we’re both clear on the goals for your space. This is a one-to-one service which is all about what works for you so make sure you bring up all of your concerns. It is also important to highlight any of your belongings that are valuable and precious to you. I will ensure extra care is taken with your most special items.

Making sessions easy and even fun is very important to me. The first step is to empty out everything from the area we are focusing on so we can be more efficient and properly assess everything that we need to sort. I’ll guide you through deciding what to keep and what to let go of—always with support and never with pressure. You don’t need to worry about being forced to get rid of things.

I do come in with a fresh pair of eyes so I will question why you are keeping something but I completely respect people’s decisions to keep the things that are important to them. Once you’ve made your choices, we’ll decide on where the unwanted items are going, whether it’s best to donate, recycle or dispose of them responsibly. I work my hardest to put things to a new home where possible and not be wasteful.

During the session there is time to talk and I get to help you understand your relationship with your belongings. I use my expertise to talk with you about what might need to change in order for you to have a calm and happy home. Decluttering sessions go much deeper than the physical and practical solutions and address the emotional problems that come with clutter.

Working alongside me, not only keeps the motivation levels high and the overwhelm low, but it holds you accountable to make the tough decisions. You will not get stuck when I am with you because I will coach you through the letting go process and ask the right questions to allow you to make the right choices for you.

With the hard part done, it is time for me to work my magic. Putting everything back is my favourite part of a session where the big transformation you deserve happens. Since I have talked to you about how you use your rooms and your belongings I will create systems that make sense to you. No more wasting time searching for anything or spending unnecessary money on buying something you already have. Everything will have a dedicated home in a system that makes complete sense to you. Once everything is in place, I’ll walk you through the changes so you know exactly where everything is and how to maintain it. My goal is to make sure that staying organised feels easy for you going forward. I will then pack up any donations so they’re ready to go and it’s one less thing for you to worry about.

In the days following our session, I’ll check in with you to see how things are going. I want to make sure the systems we’ve put in place are making your life easier, and if there are any tweaks needed, we can talk about them. My goal is always to create a home that you love and it makes you feel calm and happy. Once it’s organised, it will work for you and not the other way round.

If you’re ready to take that first step and make an investment in your future happiness. If you want to finally be in control of your home then I will help you.

The contact form on the website will take a couple of details to start us off and I will be in touch soon after.

I love my job and I’m grateful for the privilege to come into your homes and help you reach your goals.
