Your Questions, Answered

  • Clutter is anything that creates visual of physical overwhelm. Everyone’s tolerance is different. What feels manageable in one persons home or office, may feel stressful to another.

  • My services are of anyone feeling overwhelmed by their space at home or in business;

    • Busy families struggling to keep on top of toys, clothing or household items

    • Homeowners experiencing stress or anxiety or low mood.

    • People with mobility challenges who find physical decluttering difficult

    • Seniors or those downsizing

    • Individuals dealing with bereavement

    • Small business owners or teams who want a more productive, professional, and efficient workspace.

    I bring a non-judgemental perspective to help you see what’s possible and create practical systems that work for your lifestyle and business needs.

  • I offer a supportive and judgement-free approach to decluttering and organising. Every home and situation is different, so I work with patience, empathy and positivity, creating solutions that feel manageable and realistic. Nothing will shock me — I’ve seen it all — and you can feel confident that your space will be treated with respect, discretion and care throughout the process.

  • Yes, I am a registered member of APDO (The Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers UK)

  • No — please don’t tidy! Seeing your space as it is helps me understand how it really functions, so I can create solutions that truly work for you.

  • I work in the Wiltshire, Hampshire and Berkshire Area. I am happy to travel if you are further afield, please send me a message. Cardiff is the further so far!

    Travel beyond 10 miles of SN10 3QP is charged at 45p per mile.

  • Every client and project is different, whether a home or a business. Duration depends on the space, its contents, and the pace of decision-making. I can provide an estimate after consultation.

    The minimum booking is a half a day session, which is a manageable length for most people and small business to start with. For budget conscious clients, I can suggest tasks to complete between sessions.

  • Yes.

    Professional decluttering and organising is an investment in your wellbeing, productivity, and the way your space supports your life or business.

    Many clients find they recover the cost through rediscovered items they can sell or use again — and the lasting benefits of a calmer, more functional space often prove invaluable.

  • It is very normal to feel this. Everything is confidential and non judgemental. My role is to support, guide and empower you.

  • Yes, ideally.

    You’ll need to be present during decluttering sessions so you can make decisions about your belongings. This ensures that everything we keep, donate or discard reflects your needs, preferences and lifestyle.

    For reorganisation-only sessions, I can work independently once we’ve agreed on the plan. You’ll need to be present during the reorientation process to see where items are placed, understand the new systems, and make any final adjustments together.

    For bereavements and house clearances, we would meet initially to make a plan. I understand that this can be emotionally difficult for people, therefore if you do not wish to be present during the process, I am happy to work on my own under guidance.

  • Absolutely. Breaks are encouraged to stay focused and re-energised.

    I have an unpaid 30 minute break during each session.

  • That’s your decision and something we can discuss during our consultation.

    Always remember, sometimes, holding on feels safe — but letting go is what creates space to breathe.

    If your goal is purely to reorganise, we can work together on creating functional systems that are easy to maintain.

  • You are always in control of what stays and what goes.

    Unwanted items can be donated, recycled, sold, or removed from your property, depending on your preferences.

    I can offer you selling advice on items you may wish to sell.

    I’m happy to take away any items you no longer wish to keep and deliver them to charity shops or recycling centres for an additional charge.

    For transparency and peace of mind, a simple agreement will be signed for any items removed from your home or business.

  • Work cannot proceed if there is an active pest problem (e.g rodents, bed bugs, moths) until it has been resolved.

  • No. Please let me know in advance what pets you have at home.

  • At present, I do not work with hoarding situations, as these often require more tailored, specialist support. However this is an area I am keen to develop in the future, and I hope to be able to offer dedicated services with the appropriate training and expertise.

    In the meantime, I’m happy to signpost you to professionals who are specifically trained to provide the right level of support.

  • No, you don’t have to have photos taken of your home if you’d prefer not to. Your comfort and privacy come first.

    That said, photos can be really helpful. They allow us to track progress over time, celebrate your achievements, and (with your permission) share before and after transformations to inspire others. If you’re open to it, we’ll discuss and agree how any photos are used beforehand.

  • It is completely ok if you’re not ready to have me in your home yet. We can start with a video call instead, where we’ll talk through your space, your goals, and any challenges you’re facing. From there, I can give you simple, manageable target to help you get started. This way, you can begin making progress at your own pace while building confidence and maintaining momentum.
