A small project such as decluttering and organising your wardrobe, sorting and displaying your kids' toys, creating filing systems for your paperwork, and a date or place referenced system for your photo collection makes life so much simpler, whilst decluttering and organising a small space such as a shed, garage, or even loft can save time and reduce stress. Help to organise provides services to help you achieve a tidy home, no matter where you need the help!

Everything you need to organise your projects and smaller spaces:

Paperwork/Photo organising and creating systems of filing. Including advice on paperwork you need to keep and how long for. It takes the headache out of finding your recent phone bill or the hoover guarantee when you need it

Toy organisation created to specifically meet the needs of your children - their age, learning style and interests considered. Toys can then be found easily and may even be put back after play ends by little hands, not just your own

Wardrobes decluttered and organised so you’ll never have that - where is my fav top moment again! It also means putting an outfit together is so easy to do and your wardrobe is only filled by what flatters you not with your expensive mistakes

Help to Organise achieves this by providing:

  • An in-depth consultation to find out exactly what outcomes you are looking for and to discover how you use each space/ item (everyone is different so no one system will be the same)

  • One-on-one sessions where we look through your possessions/items/ paperwork in detail. Discovering what needs to be kept and why

  • Removal of all unwanted items to charity, recycling centres or shredded in the case of paperwork

  • Creating a bespoke organisational system combining tried and tested storage solutions based on your personal style, preference and needs

  • Bespoke labelling to suit your storage and appropriate to what is being stored.

  • A trained organiser brings many skills to the table, including acting as a coach. There will be reasons why you have not managed to sort your space without support, which is why your even reading this. This alters from person to person, and will provide you with some insight into why your looking at professional support.

    If your very busy and just not managed to create the time for yourself, working with me will feel like a special treat. That’s because your gifting yourself support from a trained professional organiser who knows how to listen and reflect with you.

  • Letting go of possessions, especially things like books, ornaments and photos can be highly emotive. This is ok and expected. We will find things that will trigger memories that may bring up feelings such as grief or even anger.

    This is ok to feel this and I am more than happy to work with you when feelings arise. It is part of the service and is to be expected. So it won’t matter if you have to share how your feeling in a session or if you choose not to, but need to be understood that you might not be 100% during the session.

  • Many people feel this because firstly we become overwhelmed by the amount of things to let go of and then we focus on things that hold sentimental attachment.

    I have techniques that will start you in the declutter process at the easiest end of the declutter. This is different for each person, which is why my service is so bespoke.

    I have also downsized and decluttered myself over many years. I love interior design and it’s been a natural development to move into this field. However, the biggest key to my ‘training’ for this work has been in my own self development journey, thanks to this I am a calm, centred person who is unafraid of how people respond when they feel upset, ashamed, guilty, in grief or even angry.

    Letting go and decluttering will always bring these feelings to the surface because your letting go of so much. If you handle this by being very practical and privately feel these feelings, I will work with you in this professonal manor. However, if you need to talk about anything or to work through feelngs your welcome to do so.

    In terms of the cost for your project it does depend on the time it will take and the level of support you will receive. It is a bespoke service so i will be able to give you a clearer idea of the cost in a quote.

    Before starting a project with you I will take a deposit based on the quote. This will be taken off your final bill.

    In terms of cancelation, if you need to change or rearrange an appointment you need to give me 48 hr notice unless you are seriously ill. In this circumstance you can cancel up to the day.

    However, if you cancel and I incur any out of pocket expenses due to the cancellation you will be subject to these costs and it will be taken out of the deposit. These include having booked equipment/ 3rd parties/ travel costs if train journeys have been booked or an assistant has been booked and has already started to travel.
